Do you think upgrading from 3080 to 5080 would be worth it?

[Clumsybeast]

I see new news out saying that the 5080 is 15% better than 4080, but i have a 3080, so i feel like it might be worth an upgrade while a 4080 would be fine to not upgrade to 5080. DO you think i should upgrade, or wait for 6080?

Not worth it imo
4080 owner here.

If you want to waste money, why not, otherwise no.

Hi ghost

You would need to upgrade power source maybe as well. You should look at that as well.

Yeah I would if I liked Nvidia but I'm an AMD user now so I would get a 9070 XT.

When the A.I. hype dies down, it would be interesting to a see what the real performance is. I have every intention of getting a new PC this year, but I am have a lot older GPU than you, and even I would be hard to justify the price/performance that an 80's series has.

What resolution are you on? Are you happy with the performance?

5080 will be at the same price point as 4080 S and may be around 15% faster in rasterization but has DLSS 4 and mu.ti-frame gen. Game optimizations have been horrible for quite a while; everything is heavily replying on DLSS and frame gen especially if you're playing on 4K.

Dpends entirely.

You will of course likely need to upgrade power supply. But on top of that without knowing your other system specs, we can't say. It's entirely possible to get one and have ZERO improvement if something else in your system is bottlenecking.

The RTX 4090 is already extremely worth it...

If you are (or planning on) running 4K Resolution with HDR + Ray Tracing, etc.

The major differences with RTX 4xx and 5xx, you might like or dislike, is actually apart from it being way more powerful graphic cards... is AI generation. DLSS 4, etc. This is running the latest games on supercomputers 24/7 to evolve and improve over time (which is then added into the latest graphic card drivers). It's getting to be frames of higher quality than the actual games graphics these days, letting you get up to 240 FPS for those 4K @ 240Hz monitors, etc.

I wouldn't really worry about the upgrade if you are still happily using 1440p resolution.

not sure ps5 pro is better than rtx 3080

rtx 5080 is you run 8k in 120 fps ultra high ??

[Pierce Dalton]

Nope.

[Kweeb]

Nvidia needs to get away from using AI. Or have two separate departments working for AI and working without it making GPUs

PS5 Pro is not better than a 3080, not sure who told you that. lol

1440p. I think i want better fps, 3080 is showing its age.
