As the tile says.... My venerable Asus G750 is getting very long in the tooth. I think ive had it for 10 years-ish... and some of the software I use is shifting to W11 and it doesnt make the grade :(
I have narrowed my search down to two chices so far...
5070ti or
5080

These two were chosen based on screen size/quality (min 17.3"), number of drive slots and finally GPU as I'm kinda back into gaming but also do lots of CAD/CAM stuff with 3D printing and CNC.
Games are NMS, Halo with a few C&C style games as well as the usual boring Office stuff.
Budget to a little over 3k but this machine needs the longevivity of this Asus and my previous HP, which lasted me 9 years.... as you can see I like to get my moneies worth out of my spend!
Is the 5080 worth the extra over the 5070Ti ?
Your thoughts please?

@ Diagro, Thank you for the suggestion. Not enough HDD slots and no UK sellers I have any faith in. Lower spec screen and if you read the fine print at the bottom of those specs they are throttled back also. I just found OC to be a bit more honest about actual genuine numbers.....
Why is OC not a known brand??
The biggest hurdle ive come across is most of these fairly expensive machines only have 1 or at most 2 HDD slots. Not enough for me unfortunately... as this is basically a desktop replacement.
I have given some thought to a small tower but lugging that and a monitor etc back and forth to sea would probably become real PITA quite quickly!

Isnt that the same as one of my links?
is the 5080 worth the extra £££ over a 5070Ti considering the heat/throttling in a laptop??
