ERRATA 08:34 I meant to say "with lows just short of 80", not 70 🤦♂ In the Ray Tracing chapter, I think I forgot to mention that I turned down the overall quality preset in Black Myth Wukong. The initial non-RT testing was done at both Very High and High presets, but in order to keep VRAM utilisation in check, I only tested RT With the High quality preset.
Only seems like yesterday when Iceberg was saying he got his 3070 because his dreams of owning a 3080 were gone. Now he’s reviewed both the standard and Titanium models 🎉
I still dream of owning an EVGA rtx 3090ti Kingpin edition or the 3080ti "hydro-copper" (or whatever it was called) Kingpin edition. Id might even choose one of those over a new 40 series GPU just for the bragging rights and nostalgia lol
@madcrasher1419 oh trust me, I know how hot the 3090's can get. I have a Dell rtx 3090 that i have had to upgrade with better thermal solutions due to the vram temps climbing to a uncomfortable level. Haven't had a water cooled GPU yet though.

In Cyberpunk 2077 I cannot tell the difference between high and ultra, but I can sure tell the difference in FPS. 1080p high it is for me and my 3060 laptop.
The 10GB 3080 still edges out the 16GB 6800XT at 4K and below 4 years on, hasn't lost any ground. That said I agree 12GB would have felt more sensible.
@@Battleneter with the performance at 1440p barley achieving 60fps you actually think 4k gaming is doable with it? Maybe at low preset lol. 6800xt trades blows if not beats it unless RT used.
Iceberg has too much time, but well worth it for some of us. Keep an eye out as he's always doing something. Feels like a game of spot the transition or something along the lines 😊
3080fe still insanely good. Only games that don't run well with 10gb of vram at 1440p are normally ones that are terribly optimized. I'm running cyberpunk with optimized settings + RT Overdrive + fsr3 comfortably
No, they were not lmao. I did not see anyone complain about the VRAM shortage when both of these cards released and 3060's 12 GB was considered "excessive", it was only after games like TLOU2 released, that people started suddenly panicking about VRAM.
@@X_irtz If a top-tier GPU turns out to be short on VRAM just three years into its life, it was short at release. A top-tier GPU should last longer than three years.
@@X_irtz There were absolutely well documented concerns about the VRAM when these cards released. Anyone in the know saw this coming a mile away. They just weren't as loud as the hype around "2080ti performance for $500 woah this is so crazy"
Hardware Unboxed retested 3080 roughly a year ago and they actually came to a pretty positive conclusion - 10GB was not a major issue at that time. Moreover they have not even found any real life gaming scenarios, when 3080 could run out of VRAM. By that time 3080 was a 3 year old GPU. So 3080 owners had 3 years of so-called uncompromised gaming experience. While 3070 had already had some issues in certain games just a year after it's release.
Dude, don't listen to this... with FSR3.1 we have fg too, and with that our 30 series had gotten new life! I mean what's the major difference between the 30 series and 40? It's just fg. But now we have that too, so what's the point of getting a 40 series if I have a 3080ti?!? There is None!
@@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357 You're probably right, though not about me personally. There is no way in hell I'll play any GTA game after 5 (including 5 itself, I highly disliked it even back then).
I have a RTX 3060 12GB and it's a great 1440p. Too many PC gamers, including this channel, seem to be falling back into the mindset of "if it isn't at high then it's not worth bothering with." My previous card, a GTX 970, lasted me almost a decade and I expect the RTX 3060 to do the same because, and keep this quiet in case it damages my PCMR credentials, I don't mind turning the settings down.
Like with the Ratchet and Clank part. "If you're looking for 4K60, this ain't it...". Turn down a few settings or use high? Not being able to run at very high doesn't mean the card is worthless for 4K............................
@@13bmitchell But still saying high, why not drop to medium or hell even low if you absolutely must have 4K 60fps. 1080p is still the most used resolution according to the Steam hardware survey, with 4k actually dropping (by a very small amount.) I'm just frustrated that so many PC tech channels that start out more orientated to what most gamers are actually using, end up slipping into the high end.
I understand the bus width versus memory size condition, but still 8gb for 3070 and 10gb for 3080 was a bad decision. I will be using my 3070 anyways till at least Half Life 4 comes out.
I have a 6800xt, and while it may not always beat a 3080 in performance, I know the 16gb of vram will last me many more years than the 10gb would. Hell, playing now at 1440p I frequently use upwards of 14gb of VRAM.
but 6800xt is faster overall. Even my rx 6800 non xt is nearly on par with 3080. I can do little OC on my gpu and get 3080 performance but it will use 200W instead 380W like 3080.
After waiting 4 months post-release for a 3080, my local pc shop offered me an XFX 6800 xt with a $100 discount. Still glad I went with the 6800 xt. I can't help but wonder how different my gaming experience would have been had I waited for the RTX card, but its cool to see that the 3080 is still hanging in there.
I bought the same card from an ex-mining rig. It was $400 and definitely a risk, but after a repaste it has been an awesome card for the past 2.5 years.
But he said VRAM wasn't an issue for any of the game he tested. The card's 4 years old, almost 2 generations. Can't expect it to run all these shitty games on ultra forever. And I never understood people acting like VRAM is the only metric of performance. A 12GB 3060 running a game at half the fps of a 3080 doesn't make the experience better just because it has more VRAM lol. Bizarre.
@@MusaM8some people with Nvidia hardware really like the aesthetics of textures popping in and out, I guess. As long as VRAM number is lower, it’s great.
Nvidia's "8K gaming" or whatever cards can't even run 1440p 😂😂😂 IDK who tf saw a high end card with 10 GB VRAM with like twice the supposed performance of an ancient card WHICH HAD MORE RAM THAN THAT and thought "this is great, I want this". Y'all got what was coming. My Arc A750 gets comparable performance, the 3080 is that bad.
I have the 12GB version of this card, and it’s still going pretty strong at 1440P ultrawide. I have gotten to the point where I need DLSS or lower the settings a bit to keep framerates high. I’ve been considering a 4080S or 7900XTX, but I think I’ll wait for next gen to see what they have to offer.
It still is powerful lol. It’s legit the same speed as a 4070 and it’s currently 4 years old. Sometimes it even beats the 4070. The only cards that beat the 3080 are currently 800 dollars or more. For some reason nowadays people think “it can’t run 1440p ultra at 144 fps so it’s obsolete” and that’s a goofy sentiment. I promise you in any vram limited titles you can just lower the settings slightly and barely notice any loss in quality and enjoy the game perfectly fine at 1440p. People who act like this performance isn’t acceptable are the ones paying thousands to Nvidia for the few cards that out perform it therefore enabling Nvidia to continue selling at these crazy prices. Anyone with a 3080 should keep it and enjoy it at high settings 1440p. Don’t need ultra, it’s 4 years old.
I've had my 3080 since launch and it's never let me down, the only problems I run into are when the game is clearly at fault and run like crap on everything.
The battle between the 6800 XT & 10G 3080 is Legendary. Hope hardware unboxed test the battle again, wil watch their comment section while watching the vid if that's happened 😂.
If you look up Monster Hunter Wild's recommend specs. Frame Gen is now required for 1080p 60fps. Not much to do with the cards on the list. More AI upscales are making devs more and more lazy.
11:28 nice transition :D ! Btw I have that card (asus tuf) from launch with a i9 9900kf and 16gb ram. Some times I notice the VRAM is the main drop, but 16GB too in some games. What I'm going to upgrade next is the cpu and Ram (for better 1% lows and less stutters, that's what I prioritize the most), then the GPU. At the moment, I play in a good quality graphics settings in 1440p, and in some games I use the DLSS FG to AMD FG MOD. For exemple, in wukong I use 2 mods, One for the shadows rendering and the one for DLSS FG to AMD FG, so I can use DLSS with AMD FG and I play in 80-100fps, 1%Lows above 65fps, with my settings mixed between cinematic and V.H at 1440p
interesting build; id definitely recommend upgrading cpu and ram by now, the 9th gen was pretty comparable to the ryzen 3000 series, and not many would use a ryzen 3000 chip with a 3080. newer architecture and ddr5 would go a long way to getting all the performance out of that card
I remember trying to buy a 3080ti I eventually found one at B&H for $2000 I bought it right away without hesitation a month later I bought a Evga ftw3 3090ti ultra gaming from Evga for $1150. I was so happy and mad at the same time.
I got an RTX 3070 and it still works well for everything I play at 1440p It only becomes an issue if you need to play Sweet Baby injected AAA slop that's is powered by unoptimized code and bloat.
ugh, paid 900 for my 3080 right after the crypto boom stopped. I could have waited but I wanted to upgrade from my i7 4790 and 1060 so bad during that whole time.
had a 3080 in 2022, swapped to a 7900GRE earlier this year, i was consistently having issues with VRAM but that was the only issue that card had. loaned it out to a friend for a bit when his card died, now its my crown jewel of my EVGA card collection. a reminder of when they still made cards.
The circumstances surrounding the 3080 was such a disappointment. I didn't try to get one until prices started shooting up when the mining boom started so I wound up with a 3060 ti because it was all I could find for less than a million dollars. Then when I finally got one a year and a half later I quickly realized that 10gb wasn't going to be enough so I decided to sell it and get a used 4080 if I could find a used one for $800 which never happened. Then I was made an offer of a used 4090 plus $1000 and my old 3080 and I made the deal. The circumstances surrounding the 3080 was such that I would rather just forget the whole thing. I'm not going to buy another gpu for a long time because now I can use my 4090 with a 1440p monitor and that should last many more years. Then when that gets too slow I'll switch back to my old 1080p monitor. Then when that gets too slow I'll switch to an old 900p monitor I have. Then when that gets too slow I'll get a 720p monitor. Then when that gets too slow I'll find a 480p monitor. Then when that gets too slow...
I have the same feelings as you surrounding RTX 3000. I ended up paying $1000 for a 3070ti. Every time I look at it in my PC, I don't feel good about it. Also, no, you know full well you aren't going to go back to your decade-old 1080p monitor once the 4090 feels "slow".
What a good troll comment lol. I wonder if there really are people out here Getting 4090's to play at 1440p. Well, cyberpunk does have its psycho settings for a reason lol.
@@Buddhakingpen Ah, it's another person who thinks "a 4090 is overkill for 1440p." No, it's not. The issue is that there are no 4k cards unless you're one of those people that are fine with 60fps. I am not. I like 120fps and I'm getting that. In less gpu-heavy games I use dsr at 1920p and 4k but here's the thing: when needed I can drop it down to native 1440p where it still looks sharp and with a 4k monitor you can't do that. I could go on and on about this explaining every detail of the advantages of 1440p monitors over 4k monitors but I think you get the idea, or maybe you don't.
Can’t help but feel slightly superior waiting some time and getting the 3080 12gb with my grandpa. We keep coming back to talking about those 2 extra gigabytes.
hooray, a video where I can go "hey thats my card!" Hoping to get another solid few years out of my Suprim x model, that 10GB frame buffer is just barely enough for me.
@@milescarter7803 in my local market, that is tough to find. i dont know if you used USD for convenience and you are european, but it's definitely not easy to find a 3080 for that cheap here
prebaked lighting still cooks raytracing to me its a very cool technology but jesus, the framerates.. why do all reflections have to be 1:1 resolution anyway?
I upgraded to a 4090 system from my last PC that had a 3080 late last year, and I definitely felt like the 3080 was very good apart from its 10GB of VRAM. I mostly played at 1440p, and now at ultrawide 3400x1440p, and the VRAM definitely caused a few issues for me, especially when RTX was on. If I had the 12GB model or the Ti variant that had 12GB of VRAM to begin with, I'd probably have used the card for another year or two.
I got one of these this year, a ftw3 ultra model from EVGA. For the used price I got it I absolutely love it, and I won't mind turning down settings in the future, as even low presets are starting to look solid.
I'm not gonna be upgrading from my 3080 for a long time. i don't play any UE5 era titles that need more, and it feels like the price of every GPU above a 3080 has an absurdly inflated price on both the new and used market.
I actually know someone that has a 3080 10GB that gets over the VRAM limit every now and then. I know there are always options you can turn down, but that shouldn't be a problem in my opinion. Plus a higher texture quality can be a game changer in my eyes
I just upgraded to the same model tested in the video earlier this month. It replaced my GTX 970 after 8 years of use :) I had a budget of around 430 USD, and this was the best offer in my country. Living in Europe, especially in a country with one of the highest VAT rates, the 3080 Ti/4070 Ti were my next options, but all of those were starting for the equivalent of 675/880 USD, which didn’t seem like a good value proposition to me. I guess it’s a different situation in other countries, but I'm happy with my purchase, especially since I’m already used to not playing games on ultra settings (considering I’ve only just replaced my 970 :'D). I'm more than satisfied with it.
Yeah I'm seeing a lot of the pains I'm currently going through. I'm running it at ultrawide so an upgrade to the 50 series will be almost mandatory for me
I'm running a 3080 Ftw3 in my backup and even on games that push it, a few minor tweaks in the settings and its right back to running a 1440p ultrawide. It can't always handle the ultra preset like it used to but overall its still a pretty good card.
It's funny, I considered this card (before the corona price hikes) to replace my 1080ti as I had a hard time getting stable 60 fps at 1440p gaming max settings in some heavier games, only to see that it now is in that same situation 4 years later with modern games.
I got my tuf 3080 10gb the same time the 4000 series dropped. I’m still loving the card. I just wished I had gotten the water blocks for it when they were on discount at the time.
I have this exact 3080, got it used a year ago for just about $450. I replaced it in short order for specific build reasons (VRAM, mainly), but my EVGA FTW3 3080 10GB will always have a place on my shelf. I just love the thing (RIP EVGA). Still a solid card if you measure your expectations.
I bought my 3080 on release at MSRP. Its been an amazing soldier and played a lot of great games on it. But im stupid enough to now keep it till the 50 series comes out and I upgraded to a 4K panel and its like gaming on a 1060 now.
I paid $1300 for my RTX 3080 Sep 27th 2020. It is the Gigabyte Aorus waterforce xtreme waterblock edition. So it came stock with a water block, not AIO or air cooler which made it's MSRP a little higher than a air cooled founders edition. Still paid way too much and is the main reason I don't have a 40 series yet. My only complaint about the card is that it came with a locked BIOS. Yes you heard me correctly, gigabyte released a custom water cooled GPU that cannot be overclocked by voltage with stock BIOS... I did put a modded bios on mine eventually. But I don't bother overclocking the core for just basic gaming. I really only did it trying to hit a higher 3DMark score.
My guy you can't start off a re review of a gpu that is a few years old by testing it against the most dogsht unoptimized games that even a 4080 struggles with and going "idk guys it's not really reaching that 60 fps" a 4090 is what it requires to get 60 fps at 4k in black myth. The game doesn't know optimisation at all lol. Star wars outlaws... It's ubisoft enough said there. God of war. Have you played ff16? Sony can't create a pc port to save their life. You are doing the 3080 dirty putting it up against games that are flat out broken and bad. You see how in older games that have actually seen some optimisation patches it still does amazing. This is the reality for all gpus even new ones that people call bad for no reason. They aren't bad, game developers are bad. They refuse to make a game and instead rely on upscaling and fg to do it for them.
the thing about the used 3080 is that it became obsolete since the 4070 (super) dropped. However used prices for the 3080 still remain ridiculously high compared to a new 4070(s).
Using mine DLDSR 1920p to DLSS quality in every game I can. Still a beast that can do almost maxed or maxed settings. Only time I do 1440p with DLSS is when I enable RT.
Consoles do NOT have access to 12GB of shared memory as VRAM. Its usually just under 10GB once the OS, subsystem and game data in memory itself is accounted for.
I paid 1149.99 for a 3080 TI EVGA FTW 3 Ultra. Spent 150 for the hybrid water cooling module and it’s been going strong at 3440x1440p DLSS quality in every game.
Tip from the competition : RDNA2 combined with a good AX 3000 router ( any Asus ) is also definitely top notch for wireless VR by now. Got myself a 6800 XT, it was a gamble, but it plays everything on Virtual Desktop Ultra preset, HEVC 10bit, all bandwiths to the max. My Pico 3 outputs a picture as sharp as before on Displayport on a RX 5700 non XT, these AMD drivers team did one hell of a work with rdna2 development.
I bought a 3080 10gb at it's launch and I just got a 4080 Super. Something tells me the 4080 won't have the lifespan that the 3080 had. The great thing about the 4000 series is how cool they run. The 4080 runs 20C+ cooler than the 3080 does.
3080 Ti would seem to be holding up quite well compared to this regular 2080. Either way, Nvidia sucks ass and I am not looking forward to their upcoming overpriced garbage......Blackwell!
My MSRP paid 3080 from 2020 is still kicking strong. Have no urge to upgrade at all lmao. I just went with a 5700x3d and my pc is good to go for another 4+ years. IDGAF.
GPUs and CPUs have become really stressed lately. There was a time when a 2500K would be plenty for gaming for years. Now even the best new CPUs struggle. And 1080ti used to be plenty for many years. Now cards like 3080 and 6900XT already struggle. Add to that increased prices in recent years and being a high end gamer has never been more expensive. Thankfully there are so many great games I haven’t played that aren’t new and UE5 based stress tests.
Yep game devs really got lazy to optimize their products. They just try to release them as fast as possible, give a 3 year support and drop it as soon as no one buys it
@@zeronin4696add upscaling and make the game look like crap without it or buggy, glitchy, shimmery, full of artifacts without the upscaling enhancements.
Purchased this exact card a little over a year ago for $460, along with a 5800x3D for $240 about a month after for the purpose of playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p high / very high. It was really enjoyable using just traditional rasterization, but DLSS helped push it to a much smoother framerate, and i easily put 100+ hours in night city because of it. The card being able to handle most games at 1440p very high kinda raised my expectations, so nowadays i do end up noticing that it cant exactly handle everything maxxed in some games. I dont think this was reasonable to expect though, and thankfully most things i play absolutely don't necessitate the 3080 be pushed to its limits. The pc has been serving me well, and i dont anticipate having to change any part of it for a good long awhile, especially the 3080. As long as i keep my expectations reasonable, haha.
I play most of the games with no RT and 1080p high refresh rate with my 3080 10gb and personally feeling the game more responsive than seeing glorified reflections is worth it.
I haven't watched the full length of the video yet, but what's your point? What's wrong with a RTX 3080? it should be absolutely more than enough for years to come. I am running a GTX 1080 wich is holding up strong and just yet begins to really be at its end, due to higher GPU demands in games. So where comes that "is RTX 3080 outdated" take from?
I use a 3080 10GB in my editing/gaming PC and I've got no complaints. I think if you stick to games that have even slight optimisation, you're good at 1440p. Even then, in the poorly optimised UE5 games, you can do some settings tweaks to improve the perf.
Thanks for the video about best used GPU on the market right now, for 350$ or less you can play every game at 1440p! Also I'm happy to announce that 3 days ago I finally got used PC for my used RTX 3070 (225$) that was waiting for 4 month. For 365$ I got r5 5600, 16gb 3600 cl18 ram, B450M Mortar, 1tb Samsung SSD, MSI MAG A550BN 💣 in a small ATX case. The only sad thing is that I have no money for a monitor so I can't even try my PC 🤧
Love my 3080 10 gb and 3080 Ti Paid just over 1,000 USD for both. Can't find a GPU worth the upgrade at the moment. There are plenty of GPU's out there with 8 gb or less of VRAM still playing games to this day. The 3080 at 10gb with a 320 bit bus will be a contender for a long time. The 4060 doesn't even hold a candle.
Vid definitely was before Helldivers 2's revival because its very awkward to say the game has already "had its time in the sun". Game's still extremely healthy on PC and its kind of embarrassing to skip it but include God of War: Ragnarok when its failing so badly on PC.
Always kept playing at 1080p Ultra/High settings for 4 years with my 3080. If I do happen to play more modern titles, I’ll probably have to reduce my settings or use upscaling.
My 3080 can still run games at 1440p ultra 60 fps (usually) so I'm very happy with it If it doesnt, just turn it down to high, maybe put on dlss quality, and I get another 2-4 years out ofnit
you can also use lossless scaling to double or triple your framerate as well especially for these single player games where a little bit of added input latency doesnt matter
First card where overclocking truly did not make sense. I and everyone else I knew that had this card opted to undervolt it instead. I'm honestly ashamed I didn't use the card to mine, looking back, it would've paid for itself...
@@xTurtleOW6700xt given time will probably age much better than all the other modern cards will considering it's price. 1080ti is legendary but the 6700xt will probably take the spot in the future. If the 3060ti had 12gb of vram like the reg 3060 then I'd give the title to the 3060ti but we don't live in that timeline sadly
I have the 12gb model and its still working just fine at 4k. All ultra settings on red dead redemption 2 and 90 fps average with a few dips into the lower 80's in st denis. The 10gb 3080 has fewer cores too.

@@matrxzeno4761 3080 is not really worth it rn. Go for 4070 Ti or Super version
The 3080 and 3070 were both short on VRAM at release, so of course they both suffer from VRAM shortage much more acutely now.
No, they were not lmao. I did not see anyone complain about the VRAM shortage when both of these cards released and 3060's 12 GB was considered "excessive", it was only after games like TLOU2 released, that people started suddenly panicking about VRAM.
@@X_irtz If a top-tier GPU turns out to be short on VRAM just three years into its life, it was short at release. A top-tier GPU should last longer than three years.
@@X_irtz There were absolutely well documented concerns about the VRAM when these cards released. Anyone in the know saw this coming a mile away. They just weren't as loud as the hype around "2080ti performance for $500 woah this is so crazy"
If the 3070 could be bought cheap enough, upgrade the vram to 16gb. Would be as fast as a 4060ti. Might as well look for a deal on a 3090.
Hardware Unboxed retested 3080 roughly a year ago and they actually came to a pretty positive conclusion - 10GB was not a major issue at that time. Moreover they have not even found any real life gaming scenarios, when 3080 could run out of VRAM. By that time 3080 was a 3 year old GPU. So 3080 owners had 3 years of so-called uncompromised gaming experience.
While 3070 had already had some issues in certain games just a year after it's release.
Not a single game exists that's actually worth upgrading for. I'll keep my 3080 a while longer, thank you.
Dude, don't listen to this... with FSR3.1 we have fg too, and with that our 30 series had gotten new life! I mean what's the major difference between the 30 series and 40? It's just fg. But now we have that too, so what's the point of getting a 40 series if I have a 3080ti?!? There is None!

I'm just frustrated that so many PC tech channels that start out more orientated to what most gamers are actually using, end up slipping into the high end.

I have a 6800xt, and while it may not always beat a 3080 in performance, I know the 16gb of vram will last me many more years than the 10gb would. Hell, playing now at 1440p I frequently use upwards of 14gb of VRAM.
but 6800xt is faster overall. Even my rx 6800 non xt is nearly on par with 3080. I can do little OC on my gpu and get 3080 performance but it will use 200W instead 380W like 3080.
After waiting 4 months post-release for a 3080, my local pc shop offered me an XFX 6800 xt with a $100 discount.
Still glad I went with the 6800 xt. I can't help but wonder how different my gaming experience would have been had I waited for the RTX card, but its cool to see that the 3080 is still hanging in there.
If you waited for a 3080 you'd have probably spent more, and waited longer for hardly any benefit.
I bought the same card from an ex-mining rig. It was $400 and definitely a risk, but after a repaste it has been an awesome card for the past 2.5 years.
That power usage is almost at 400watts hot stuff… I forgot how bad Samsung 8nm is!!!
I'd be pissed if I bought such a high end expensive card only to be running out of vram a few years later.
But he said VRAM wasn't an issue for any of the game he tested. The card's 4 years old, almost 2 generations. Can't expect it to run all these shitty games on ultra forever. And I never understood people acting like VRAM is the only metric of performance. A 12GB 3060 running a game at half the fps of a 3080 doesn't make the experience better just because it has more VRAM lol. Bizarre.

I have the 12GB version of this card, and it’s still going pretty strong at 1440P ultrawide. I have gotten to the point where I need DLSS or lower the settings a bit to keep framerates high. I’ve been considering a 4080S or 7900XTX, but I think I’ll wait for next gen to see what they have to offer.
How quickly the formerly mighty fall. I remember when I first got a 3080 a few years back, and how powerful it felt at that time.
It still is powerful lol. It’s legit the same speed as a 4070 and it’s currently 4 years old. Sometimes it even beats the 4070. The only cards that beat the 3080 are currently 800 dollars or more. For some reason nowadays people think “it can’t run 1440p ultra at 144 fps so it’s obsolete” and that’s a goofy sentiment. I promise you in any vram limited titles you can just lower the settings slightly and barely notice any loss in quality and enjoy the game perfectly fine at 1440p. People who act like this performance isn’t acceptable are the ones paying thousands to Nvidia for the few cards that out perform it therefore enabling Nvidia to continue selling at these crazy prices. Anyone with a 3080 should keep it and enjoy it at high settings 1440p. Don’t need ultra, it’s 4 years old.
It still runs good lol. If you really want to play on ultra settings then just get a 4090...

If you look up Monster Hunter Wild's recommend specs. Frame Gen is now required for 1080p 60fps. Not much to do with the cards on the list. More AI upscales are making devs more and more lazy.
Man we neefd developer to use mGPU more than ever!
11:28 nice transition :D !
Btw I have that card (asus tuf) from launch with a i9 9900kf and 16gb ram. Some times I notice the VRAM is the main drop, but 16GB too in some games. What I'm going to upgrade next is the cpu and Ram (for better 1% lows and less stutters, that's what I prioritize the most), then the GPU. At the moment, I play in a good quality graphics settings in 1440p, and in some games I use the DLSS FG to AMD FG MOD. For exemple, in wukong I use 2 mods, One for the shadows rendering and the one for DLSS FG to AMD FG, so I can use DLSS with AMD FG and I play in 80-100fps, 1%Lows above 65fps, with my settings mixed between cinematic and V.H at 1440p
I have the same build as you; I feel like the i9
Bottle necks the 3080 sometimes
interesting build; id definitely recommend upgrading cpu and ram by now, the 9th gen was pretty comparable to the ryzen 3000 series, and not many would use a ryzen 3000 chip with a 3080. newer architecture and ddr5 would go a long way to getting all the performance out of that card

had a 3080 in 2022, swapped to a 7900GRE earlier this year, i was consistently having issues with VRAM but that was the only issue that card had. loaned it out to a friend for a bit when his card died, now its my crown jewel of my EVGA card collection. a reminder of when they still made cards.
I've got the 12gb water-cooled 3080! It's been running well for years!
The circumstances surrounding the 3080 was such a disappointment. I didn't try to get one until prices started shooting up when the mining boom started so I wound up with a 3060 ti because it was all I could find for less than a million dollars. Then when I finally got one a year and a half later I quickly realized that 10gb wasn't going to be enough so I decided to sell it and get a used 4080 if I could find a used one for $800 which never happened. Then I was made an offer of a used 4090 plus $1000 and my old 3080 and I made the deal. The circumstances surrounding the 3080 was such that I would rather just forget the whole thing. I'm not going to buy another gpu for a long time because now I can use my 4090 with a 1440p monitor and that should last many more years. Then when that gets too slow I'll switch back to my old 1080p monitor. Then when that gets too slow I'll switch to an old 900p monitor I have. Then when that gets too slow I'll get a 720p monitor. Then when that gets too slow I'll find a 480p monitor. Then when that gets too slow...

I'm not gonna be upgrading from my 3080 for a long time. i don't play any UE5 era titles that need more, and it feels like the price of every GPU above a 3080 has an absurdly inflated price on both the new and used market.
I actually know someone that has a 3080 10GB that gets over the VRAM limit every now and then. I know there are always options you can turn down, but that shouldn't be a problem in my opinion. Plus a higher texture quality can be a game changer in my eyes

Like SLI, it too ran a long time and was only moderately adopted before it was dropped.
I just upgraded to the same model tested in the video earlier this month. It replaced my GTX 970 after 8 years of use :) I had a budget of around 430 USD, and this was the best offer in my country. Living in Europe, especially in a country with one of the highest VAT rates, the 3080 Ti/4070 Ti were my next options, but all of those were starting for the equivalent of 675/880 USD, which didn’t seem like a good value proposition to me. I guess it’s a different situation in other countries, but I'm happy with my purchase, especially since I’m already used to not playing games on ultra settings (considering I’ve only just replaced my 970 :'D). I'm more than satisfied with it.

Man whent from the buget guy to the rtx 3080 is only just good for today.
I ended up with a 3080Ti because of stock issues for the 3080. Really glad I did. 12GB VRAM will give it long legs and it's a 1440 monster.
I'm running a 3080 Ftw3 in my backup and even on games that push it, a few minor tweaks in the settings and its right back to running a 1440p ultrawide. It can't always handle the ultra preset like it used to but overall its still a pretty good card.
It's funny, I considered this card (before the corona price hikes) to replace my 1080ti as I had a hard time getting stable 60 fps at 1440p gaming max settings in some heavier games, only to see that it now is in that same situation 4 years later with modern games.
I got my tuf 3080 10gb the same time the 4000 series dropped. I’m still loving the card. I just wished I had gotten the water blocks for it when they were on discount at the time.

I have this exact 3080, got it used a year ago for just about $450. I replaced it in short order for specific build reasons (VRAM, mainly), but my EVGA FTW3 3080 10GB will always have a place on my shelf. I just love the thing (RIP EVGA). Still a solid card if you measure your expectations.
I bought my 3080 on release at MSRP. Its been an amazing soldier and played a lot of great games on it. But im stupid enough to now keep it till the 50 series comes out and I upgraded to a 4K panel and its like gaming on a 1060 now.
I paid $1300 for my RTX 3080 Sep 27th 2020. It is the Gigabyte Aorus waterforce xtreme waterblock edition. So it came stock with a water block, not AIO or air cooler which made it's MSRP a little higher than a air cooled founders edition. Still paid way too much and is the main reason I don't have a 40 series yet. My only complaint about the card is that it came with a locked BIOS. Yes you heard me correctly, gigabyte released a custom water cooled GPU that cannot be overclocked by voltage with stock BIOS... I did put a modded bios on mine eventually. But I don't bother overclocking the core for just basic gaming. I really only did it trying to hit a higher 3DMark score.
My guy you can't start off a re review of a gpu that is a few years old by testing it against the most dogsht unoptimized games that even a 4080 struggles with and going "idk guys it's not really reaching that 60 fps" a 4090 is what it requires to get 60 fps at 4k in black myth. The game doesn't know optimisation at all lol. Star wars outlaws... It's ubisoft enough said there. God of war. Have you played ff16? Sony can't create a pc port to save their life.
You are doing the 3080 dirty putting it up against games that are flat out broken and bad. You see how in older games that have actually seen some optimisation patches it still does amazing. This is the reality for all gpus even new ones that people call bad for no reason. They aren't bad, game developers are bad. They refuse to make a game and instead rely on upscaling and fg to do it for them.
the thing about the used 3080 is that it became obsolete since the 4070 (super) dropped. However used prices for the 3080 still remain ridiculously high compared to a new 4070(s).
Using mine DLDSR 1920p to DLSS quality in every game I can. Still a beast that can do almost maxed or maxed settings. Only time I do 1440p with DLSS is when I enable RT.
Consoles do NOT have access to 12GB of shared memory as VRAM. Its usually just under 10GB once the OS, subsystem and game data in memory itself is accounted for.
I paid 1149.99 for a 3080 TI EVGA FTW 3 Ultra. Spent 150 for the hybrid water cooling module and it’s been going strong at 3440x1440p DLSS quality in every game.

I bought a 3080 10gb at it's launch and I just got a 4080 Super. Something tells me the 4080 won't have the lifespan that the 3080 had. The great thing about the 4000 series is how cool they run. The 4080 runs 20C+ cooler than the 3080 does.

GPUs and CPUs have become really stressed lately. There was a time when a 2500K would be plenty for gaming for years. Now even the best new CPUs struggle. And 1080ti used to be plenty for many years. Now cards like 3080 and 6900XT already struggle. Add to that increased prices in recent years and being a high end gamer has never been more expensive. Thankfully there are so many great games I haven’t played that aren’t new and UE5 based stress tests.

Purchased this exact card a little over a year ago for $460, along with a 5800x3D for $240 about a month after for the purpose of playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p high / very high. It was really enjoyable using just traditional rasterization, but DLSS helped push it to a much smoother framerate, and i easily put 100+ hours in night city because of it. The card being able to handle most games at 1440p very high kinda raised my expectations, so nowadays i do end up noticing that it cant exactly handle everything maxxed in some games. I dont think this was reasonable to expect though, and thankfully most things i play absolutely don't necessitate the 3080 be pushed to its limits. The pc has been serving me well, and i dont anticipate having to change any part of it for a good long awhile, especially the 3080. As long as i keep my expectations reasonable, haha.
I play most of the games with no RT and 1080p high refresh rate with my 3080 10gb and personally feeling the game more responsive than seeing glorified reflections is worth it.

Thanks great video!
I use a 3080 10GB in my editing/gaming PC and I've got no complaints. I think if you stick to games that have even slight optimisation, you're good at 1440p. Even then, in the poorly optimised UE5 games, you can do some settings tweaks to improve the perf.
Thanks for the video about best used GPU on the market right now, for 350$ or less you can play every game at 1440p!
Also I'm happy to announce that 3 days ago I finally got used PC for my used RTX 3070 (225$) that was waiting for 4 month. For 365$ I got r5 5600, 16gb 3600 cl18 ram, B450M Mortar, 1tb Samsung SSD, MSI MAG A550BN 💣 in a small ATX case.

Love my 3080 10 gb and 3080 Ti
Paid just over 1,000 USD for both.
Can't find a GPU worth the upgrade at the moment.
There are plenty of GPU's out there with 8 gb or less of VRAM still playing games to this day.
The 3080 at 10gb with a 320 bit bus will be a contender for a long time.
The 4060 doesn't even hold a candle.
Vid definitely was before Helldivers 2's revival because its very awkward to say the game has already "had its time in the sun".
Game's still extremely healthy on PC and its kind of embarrassing to skip it but include God of War: Ragnarok when its failing so badly on PC.
Don’t feel bad guys. My 3090 was obsolete by July 2022 for me :( I got more years out my 2080ti and paid -$500.
Always kept playing at 1080p Ultra/High settings for 4 years with my 3080. If I do happen to play more modern titles, I’ll probably have to reduce my settings or use upscaling.
my 2070 is sweating bullets now
Helldivers 2 still getting more daily active users than Ragnarok’s all time peak
My 3080 can still run games at 1440p ultra 60 fps (usually) so I'm very happy with it
If it doesnt, just turn it down to high, maybe put on dlss quality, and I get another 2-4 years out ofnit
you can also use lossless scaling to double or triple your framerate as well especially for these single player games where a little bit of added input latency doesnt matter
First card where overclocking truly did not make sense. I and everyone else I knew that had this card opted to undervolt it instead. I'm honestly ashamed I didn't use the card to mine, looking back, it would've paid for itself...
DLAA crushes performance in Cyberpunk if you have SSR at ultra or psycho, it barely impacts performance if you set SSR to medium or high.
The only GPU I've bought is the 6700xt, that thing is a goat of a GPU
yeah it's so good as long as you don't use ray tracing!
@@FlorentChardevel path tracing is where the fun begins lol. I tried it in cp2077 and it was hilarious
1080ti is goat gpu, your card is not even close
@@xTurtleOW6700xt given time will probably age much better than all the other modern cards will considering it's price. 1080ti is legendary but the 6700xt will probably take the spot in the future. If the 3060ti had 12gb of vram like the reg 3060 then I'd give the title to the 3060ti but we don't live in that timeline sadly
@@xTurtleOW while chugging all that power, not efficient at all
Might be my next GPU if i can find a good deal used. My GTX 1080 deserves a long awaited rest.
I have the 12gb model and its still working just fine at 4k. All ultra settings on red dead redemption 2 and 90 fps average with a few dips into the lower 80's in st denis. The 10gb 3080 has fewer cores too.
