I've 2 machines, on my home machine I have a 7800x3d and a 4080ti, on my work machine it was a 5800x3d and a 1080ti, but the 1080 has stopped working, I think I'm going to buy a 5070ti as the best I can afford.

Would I be better moving the 4080 to the work machine (5800x3d CPU) and put the 5070ti into the 7800x3d CPU machine, to maximise the performance across the 2 machines?
 
Well, there's barely any difference in raw performance between a 4080 and 5070Ti. But the 5000 series have better/ new gaming features like DLSS4 multi framegen. So - this is assuming you will use one PC for gaming and one PC for work - I would put the 5070Ti with the 7800x3d and have that as the gaming machine.
 
Work pc r u using GPU acceleration,etc ?
if im truthfully "work pc" makes it sound more grand that what it is as the work i do on it (email, accounts, excel) can easy be handled by the on board graphics really i should call it "my hid out of the rain and the wind pc and when it too cold to work outside on the farm" pc :)

As I mentioned above, there's no real difference between a 4080 and 5070Ti. So just stick with 4080 and 7800x3d for the gaming rig - and use the onboard graphics for the 'work' PC. Not sure why you are contemplating a new card, you've just answered your own question???

if that's the case, is there any reason to spend £700 on a new gpu that barely beats the 4080 super?
just chuck in a cheap second hand gpu and call it a day

even the 5800x3d is a bit overkill for that use
(but i'm can't be the one to judge. my bedroom pc is a 7800x3d + 4070 super...just for watching movies :cry: )
