I plan to go AM5 and what may end up being a 10800X3D for GTA 6.

Im still on a 3080...
- Thread starter Rob_brum
- Start date
Others have noted that this is the 12gb rather than the 10gb, but the drivers have been improved a lot since this video so you can expect the 9070xt's superiority in this video to be 5-10% greater.
I upgraded from a RTX 3080FE to the Sapphire Pulse 9070XT when it was reduced in price.
If buying now at todays prices, i would probably go for a 5070ti.
May as well wait to see what prices are like for the Super cards though (if it is soon). Plus Black Friday sales are not for away.

I went from a 3090 to a 5090 and noticed zero difference.
If your games run fine now no change is needed.
The reason I changed was because I built a new PC, if I had not I would still be using a 3090 as my games ran fine on it.

For me getting a 5080 Super seems sensible, i cant keep waiting, i've been waiting for years to get an up to date GPU. its not just for games for me, i need it for 3D work too.
i see people saying hold off wait for the 60 series, i'd love to but who knows what that will be like, how much it will cost and how much availability it will have at launch. there comes a point when you just have to buy something and be happy with it.

At this point the 6000 series is still a long way off.
No point waiting for those unless you already have a good GPU.
buyers remorse and fomo are the main feelings of people in the pc building space
Your alive!
Unless you play demanding VR stuff - and unfortunately for my wallet, I do - I don't think anyone really needs anything over a 5070Ti at the moment for any flatscreen games - The DLSS new transformer model and framegen are superb and allow even path traced stuff to run well enough.
VR though, totally different league. My modded Skyrim VR was pulling 28GB VRAM the other day (5090FE). That's dedicated usage too, not allocated usage. And the 5090 actually has the grunt to drive very high res headsets like the Crystal and above at the framerates needed. I had a 5080 briefly before - had neither the VRAM nor the grunt for proper PC VR unfortunately. It's a ******* expensive hobby this.

the new transformer model has a lot more blur behind fast moving objects tho, ive gone back to 3.8.10 on a lot of games and its massively reduced
Aye, I think you mean 'trails' though rather than blur yes?
This anomaly in some games is bizarre with DLSS4 given one of its main selling points was, and is, to reduce exactly this issue. It's only some games that have the problem, it's very odd and must be down to the specific engine/ rendering techniques.

I went for a 4070ti Super - only cost £200 to switch after selling the 3080. 3080 performance was fine for me with DLSS but the issue was the 10gb vram when playing games at 4k. Having access to frame gen in all these crappy running UE5 games is also nice. If I was buying new today I'd be looking for a £600~ 5070ti or waiting for the 5070ti super.
I have done the same, I only use DLSS4 newer games that were designed with it in mind. Has odd issues in older games so I just stick with 3.8.
Did you notice a big improvement here?
I went from a 4080super to a 5090. Pretty much difference is from DLSS Quality to DLAA in most games (the odd exception being path traced games). My bedroom PC has a 3080 10gb, VRAM means have to turn textures to medium in some new games and as I think DLSS transformer is so good usually run it in DLSS performance (4k TV). I really struggle to see the difference but it is only a 60hz TV. But one was £1800 one was £260 
(Although same logic for CPU really, 9800x3d to 7500fI know you can make the 9800x3d but like path tracing your looking for it not a given in most scenarios)

And there you've hit the nail on the head. Perceivable difference, what you can actually see and notice.
That becomes less in most cases the higher up the stack you go and the more dollar you shell out.
Really odd being totally happy at 1440p OLED with a last gen 80 series card, but I am and can spend any spare cash on other stuff.

I'm in exactly the same position, I only just upgrade the core system I'm using, new CPU/Mobo/RAM, but I left out the video card due to my money situation. Now I've just had a tax refund, I'm eyeing a 3080 replacement.
I need to save for ideally at least 1 more month, so my plan is to see what happens with the 5080 and Super pricing. My bet is there will be a lot of boost headroom on the Super variant, with new power limits, so under those conditions there might be a noticeable jump in performance.
If the price of the Supers ends up being a fair bit more, and supply dries up for the non supers, there's a good shot I will just wait to see what Nvidia announce next year. The main driver right now is that I like Ray Tracing, I like to use it when I can but with the 3080 that often leaves me in the uncomfortable 45fps territory that I'd like to be 60+.

I'm still on the 3080 (10GB) I bought on launch day (for £680, which at the time was the most I had ever spent on a gpu and seemed very expensive), and at 3600x1600 res it's just about starting to struggle a bit and needs settings turned down a smidgen on new titles. But is that worth spending £1k+? For me, not yet. I'm short on gaming time these days, and that means I'm investing in fewer new titles and playing more of the same old same old which runs fine on it.
I'm basically holding out for a sub £1k card (like maybe 800 quid) that offers a 50+% increase. However long that takes, that is when I'll upgrade. Maybe next year's mid range cards might have something to offer, who knows.

Doesn't the 5070ti and 9070xt deliver this right now?

With the sale of your 3080 you can get a 5080 for less than £800 which tbh isn't too bad when you consider you Paid nearly £700 for the 3080 on release.
I'm also running a 3080 10gb, it's been a beast of a card tbh, only now am I starting to feel the limitations of the memory.
