If you own a 2080ti please don't worry about the 3070 being better, it most likely will fall short.
Doubt it. My guess? The 3070 will have 90-95% the performance of the 2080ti. It will invalidate the 2080ti almost guaranteed. Especially at higher resolutions.

Only if you plan to play in 1440p or 4K. If youre gonna play 1080p then there is basically NO reason to upgrade as you Will get up 80/90 fps in most AAA games

Thanks for the thoughts, you articulated the rationale in my head! Was so chuffed with the Titan Black (SLI) I purchased in 2014 instead of a Quadro. They've done a great job for over 6 years, but also fascinating to watch over the years these increasingly struggle to keep up (and SLI increasingly becoming useless). Classic drop off curve for everything I do day to day. At some point over the next year it will be time for a new build, and I'm tempted to aim for a 3090... for a personal rig, it would still be less expensive than professional alternatives.
I upgraded from a 960M laptop to a 5700XT desktop to a 3080FE in said desktop. The performance upgrade I experienced in that 2-year span has been insane. I used to barely game at 1080P medium settings and get 30fps on my old laptop. Now I can game at up to 4K 60fps or 1440P high fps. So worth it if you can score one at retail price. I should be set to game at a high level for at least 2-3 years. Skip 40 series and upgrade to 50 series but we'll see.
I'll rock my 2070 super until it gives me problems. Zero reason to up a card I've only had for 10 months. Plus i play at 1440p because the tech for 4k gaming monitors just cost to damn much. So I think I'll be good for awhile longer.
Already done - 1080ti to 3090...built a new system end of 2019 and opted for second hand 1080ti over a new 2080ti. Put the leftover money aside saved a little on the way, stock shortage meant I had to wait so saved a little more and then blew it on 3090...😂
I play at 1440p with a 1060. I play most games fine. I'll probably wait for the 4000 series. Now that I think about that I said the same thing about last year 🤔
Yea i play at 2560x1440. My entire pc is only 1-3 years old. Monitor case. Cooling everything 3800x ect. The 1080ti is the only old part i have if that makes sense. And tbh every game i throw at it i still get 144fps. Onky a few games i see maybe 80-90 fps. But 1300$+ for a new video card isnt worth the performance jump. These new cards are more than a 1080ti was new its stupid. Maybe when i start seeing 60-80 fps constantly in games i play ill upgrade.. but not 80-144 im getting now
8:45 You have no idea what you're talking about. I own a 1080Ti from 2017 and it still handles every modern game in 4K maxed out or close to that. Haven't switched to Med settings any game yet.
@@ClassicalTechnology I'm perfectly fine with fps if it's more than 45-50. On 1080Ti I often get 60 however. I don't do any competitive gaming, I'm just a casual gamer. And I don't use monitors, I use 70 inch TV as a monitor instead. I prefer screen size and real estate over 144Hz and tiny 34" anyday. And of course it's 4K at 100% dpi.
I'm in the UK and fully planned on upgrading to the 3080 on launch, but like nearly everyone else I missed out on launch day. I am not pre ordering one as the prices right now compared to msrp is way over what it should be as the resellers have bumped up the price due to low stock. my final concern is that when big navi drops I don't want to have bought or pre ordered a 3080 only to have either big navi beat it for the same price or NVIDIA to release a refresh like they did with the super variants of the 2000 series for pretty much the same price as the original non super variants
I can still run 3440x1440 on most of all my games in ultra with my 1080 ti sc and games that supports sli even better. I'm gonna still wait fall next year for 3090 or ti in the future
Great video! Will my intel i7-8700k be a bottleneck to a new 3080? I'm not using a 1080 ti hydro copper card from EVGA with no issues. But I'm wanting to upgrade to a 3080.
I remember when the 9700 pro and ti4600 launched.. lol 9700pro changed gaming forever with its ability to runs AA and AF in games with no significant drop in fps
My no.1 reason: 4K/60fps gaming. Right now, with my GTX 1080ti, i can play most of the new games in 1440p/60fps with Ultra or Very High details. For some games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, or Assassin's Creed Oydssey, i need to lower details even to medium to keep stable 60fps at 1440p. RTX 3080 reaches easy 80-90 fps in 4K/Ultra in all games (ok, i know, in MFS not), sometimes even more.
I'm still trying to find a reason for upgrading my 1080ti, I thought getting a 4k monitor would force me to, but no.... Got R5 2600x thinking the gpu will bottle neck, nope, it's the cpu that's bottlenecking... The only reason I see to upgrade the gpu atm, is to see if there's a gpu around the same performance but with a better power consumption
Not a lot of people are talking about HDMI 2.1 30-series has. Do you think it's more comparable with Displayport now or even edging it slightly? Of course you'd need a display which has compatibility... but the new features it has and it's now higher throughput might deserve it a thought or two.
Excited for you to get your hands on a 3070 and give us your opinion on it and 1080p gaming. As mentioned in a previous comment of mine, I’m planning on sticking with my 1080p 144hz monitor, but in dire need of upgrading my old faithful GTX 970. Anyhu, as always keep up the great job CT/Thiago! Cheers!
I would like to ask a question. I am currently building my first pc build. For the gpu i use the 1080ti. Could you guys assure me that I’m making a good decision. My personal opinion is that the card still manages to beat the 20 series up to 2070 super and only losing in a few games released after the 20 series (control etc)
bro dont even worry about all that keep your mind on the 1080ti and upgrade to 3070 when prices become decent. if you play at 1080p bro you dont need better
I game mostly in 3D at 1080P with the now defunct Nvidia 3D vision. Since nobody has gotten that to work with the 3000 series, and it might be an eternity before they do (God bless those folks)... I decided to upgrade from my 1080 ti to a 2080 ti after the 3070 drops. They should hopefully go sub-500 again!. In my case the 3080 wouldn't yield much of a boost at all.
I think every other generation of gpu is probably the best overall upgrade path. You can get a good 4 years out of your gpu and sell it once you upgrade to help with the upgrade cost.
Good video but I disagree. 1 reason: 1080ti is still a beast and can run current games at 100+ fps at 1440p. So unless you have a 4k monitor you ll be fine another 2 years at least. 2nd: raytracing and dlss 2.0 are not an automatic visual upgrade, the technology is still new and can create more issues than benefits, especially dlss artifacts. Regarding raytracing, take a look at the comparison example on the nvidia official site: all those perfect reflections of the puddles are just really distracting. Our brain is wired to be attracted to shiny things and having em everywhere can be confusing and tiring. The eye needs some place to rest in between areas of detail. SO even if I love the new tech it will take a while before it gets properly executed by the majority of developers. Ue4 engine RTX tools, for example, are still evolving and most are not in the main branch of the engine yet. So in short: upgrading makes sense only if you take into consideration the games you play & the monitor you need to feed. RTX is the future, sure. I ll upgrade in the future then!
U probably a 1080ti owner who wants to defend its card lool, can run current games at 100+fps at 1440p?? Thats bullshit, really demanding games will not run above 100fps on ultra 1440p. I upgraded from 2070super to a 3080 so i know what i am talking about. In short if you have a gtx 1080ti/2070super or lower, it is definitly worth it to upgrade! At least if u play at 1440p or 4k
@@UnknownEnemyNL I don't need to "defend" a 1080ti, everyone knows is a great card. and I did not say I run all games with maxed settings. The same goes for your 2070 super, just cose you have the money and you can upgrade does not make it a smart decision, financially speaking, even if the 3080 is faster. That is the point I was trying to make + I am not fully sold on the need to buy rtx (and the consequent need to introduce dlss artifacts to compensate for fps loss)
hey i have a question, my cpu is overheating at 60 degrees celsius while idle, i have a huge 2 fan cooler master cooler, but it appears like i dont. i can send you a picture of the inside, just tell me where to send the picture

I got my new Evga 2080 ftw3 for $440 from EVGA’s midweek madness sale. 1 year warranty and after I sell off my Thicc 3 ultra 5700xt for $370 I’m only paying $70 bucks for it. Plus when big Navi drops I’ll be able to sell off my 2080 for what I paid
So wanting to upgrade my 1080ti strix w/c on my Acer X34P Ultra wide...My question is, would a 3080 be wasted on the 1440p ultra wide screen? Or would that be hitting the sweet spot? I have a Asus Maximus Hero X powered by an I9-9900KS...
It might necessitate a full upgrade for me. I've got a 5820k at 4.4Ghz and concerned about a significant bottlenecking. I'll check out more tests first then decide
I want to get the 3070 but should i just go with a 2070 super? I kinda need to build my pc sooner that later and i know it is going to be hard to get a 3070. (I play mostly esports titles like Valorant, CSGO, and Rocket League) but also some triple A titles) And i game at 1080p. Nothing higher than that but i’m getting a 240hz monitor and I want to be able to hit that on most of those games
i have a 1080ti fe and i do not want to upgrade but ive seen a frame rate drop with the release of recent games like elden ring. would you recomend upograding my cpu? it is an intel i7-4790 3.60GHz 4 cores. or should i just try to buy a 3060ti?
I am running games with no problem at full HD with my 1080ti. I guess I'll wait for the next-gen cards. If I had a 900 series I would jump to 3000 series but not from a 1080ti.
Reason 1 not to upgrade. The 3080 is 1300$.. thats nearly 300-400$ more than a 1080ti was when new and hard to find in stores.. i paid 860$ for my 1080ti 6 months before the 2080ti came out... I still have it. For the games i play at 2560x1440 i still get 144fps. Some games i do see a dip down to 70-80 sometimes. But is it worth it to uograde for 1200-1300$ ?? Hell no. F these overpriced video cards man
Thanks for this video Thiago, btw is it me or you still didn't made the giveaway of the 3080 that was planned for the 14th ofd october if i remember correctly? :)
Is gtx Titan x Pascal worth it for 300$? I want something for cad and solidworks. It is almost as fast as gtx 1080ti but it has 12gb of vram. Will it help or make no difference?
Im still kicking butt with 1060 no problems anywhere. I feel it is now a good time to upgrade to 3080. I might go with 3060 if I can't grab a 3080 by the time 3060 is out. I think people should avoid the 3070 even though majority will probably end up going that route.
my rig: Ryzen 7 1700X, 32GB, GTX1070 8GB, 650Watt PSU, 4k 60hz Monitor I can play most recent games in 1440p and high details at 50 to 80 frames (BFV, Warzone, Cold War Beta, etc) the 3070 cannot handle 4k ultra settings above 60fps. it´s 500$ for a performance level from 2 years ago... not worth it imo. a 3080 or an AMD equivalent would be the best upgrade for the buck (...and a new psu!).
I would like an upgrade from a 1070 mainly because I upgraded my monitors from 1080p 60fps panels to 1440p 140pfs monitors and it’s been hell for the poor baby. Edit: yeah! I even have a 1070 FE! And that boi gets hot almost instantly whenever playing any game that’s not like... factorio!
your video came out too late man. i sold my 1080ti cause i wanted a 3080 and was scared my 1080ti would drop so much in value and wanted to sell it before it did. now i have no card at all
I have the 1070ti and stay verry happy with this ,just I thingk Its gonna be just for assasins creed valhalla next mond ,good work for youre videos,Grtz from belgium
Wow a video perfectly for me, a 1080ti FE user. I had upgraded the cooler to an Arctic Accelero Extreme IV because the blower was extremely loud and the temps weren't too impressive. I think the 3080s beastly performance yet silent and cool when underclocked will be perfect for gaming on my 280hz monitor. It's no 360 but it's close enough to do the job.
Running a 2080, however, I am building a new system to give my current system to my wife for school. I will use my 2080 until next year. I am just wanting to get the 5900x to replace my 2700x.
Reasons to not upgrade to 3080:
1-You can't find any 3080
Ha
2- I'm broke n' can't afford it (if u are me off course)
3-Your govt. adds hella taxes on it

At some point over the next year it will be time for a new build, and I'm tempted to aim for a 3090... for a personal rig, it would still be less expensive than professional alternatives.
Already own 1080ti. Think il wait for 40 series.
I think I will be waiting for the 4000 series. My 1080 ti can play most games already at maximum graphics.
I'm waiting for a evga card of the new 3080 card possibly next year as I have the evga gtx 1080 ti ftw3 still a stellar card
I'll hang to my EVGA FTW3 GTX1080 TI wasn't going to upgrade anyway.
Running at 1440p soooooo no rush.
I upgraded from a 960M laptop to a 5700XT desktop to a 3080FE in said desktop. The performance upgrade I experienced in that 2-year span has been insane. I used to barely game at 1080P medium settings and get 30fps on my old laptop. Now I can game at up to 4K 60fps or 1440P high fps. So worth it if you can score one at retail price. I should be set to game at a high level for at least 2-3 years. Skip 40 series and upgrade to 50 series but we'll see.
I'll rock my 2070 super until it gives me problems. Zero reason to up a card I've only had for 10 months. Plus i play at 1440p because the tech for 4k gaming monitors just cost to damn much. So I think I'll be good for awhile longer.
Already done - 1080ti to 3090...built a new system end of 2019 and opted for second hand 1080ti over a new 2080ti. Put the leftover money aside saved a little on the way, stock shortage meant I had to wait so saved a little more and then blew it on 3090...😂
Man still rocking my 1080Ti with Arctic custom cooler TBH oced it gives me crazy 1440p performance. Would like to upgrade but just going to sit it out
I play at 1440p with a 1060. I play most games fine. I'll probably wait for the 4000 series. Now that I think about that I said the same thing about last year 🤔
Lol yeah maybe 40 fps on 1440p XDD
I bought a 1080ti last year and I’m probably going to hold on to it for another 2 years
Yea i play at 2560x1440. My entire pc is only 1-3 years old. Monitor case. Cooling everything 3800x ect. The 1080ti is the only old part i have if that makes sense. And tbh every game i throw at it i still get 144fps. Onky a few games i see maybe 80-90 fps. But 1300$+ for a new video card isnt worth the performance jump.
These new cards are more than a 1080ti was new its stupid. Maybe when i start seeing 60-80 fps constantly in games i play ill upgrade.. but not 80-144 im getting now
8:45 You have no idea what you're talking about. I own a 1080Ti from 2017 and it still handles every modern game in 4K maxed out or close to that. Haven't switched to Med settings any game yet.
3090 can’t even do some games above 60 FPS in 4K maxed out, we’re talking newer triple A games like Cyberpunk here
@@ClassicalTechnology I'm perfectly fine with fps if it's more than 45-50. On 1080Ti I often get 60 however. I don't do any competitive gaming, I'm just a casual gamer. And I don't use monitors, I use 70 inch TV as a monitor instead. I prefer screen size and real estate over 144Hz and tiny 34" anyday. And of course it's 4K at 100% dpi.
@@mikv8 it’s a great gpu the 1080ti, glad it’s still working well for you
I'm in the UK and fully planned on upgrading to the 3080 on launch, but like nearly everyone else I missed out on launch day. I am not pre ordering one as the prices right now compared to msrp is way over what it should be as the resellers have bumped up the price due to low stock. my final concern is that when big navi drops I don't want to have bought or pre ordered a 3080 only to have either big navi beat it for the same price or NVIDIA to release a refresh like they did with the super variants of the 2000 series for pretty much the same price as the original non super variants
I can still run 3440x1440 on most of all my games in ultra with my 1080 ti sc and games that supports sli even better. I'm gonna still wait fall next year for 3090 or ti in the future
Great video! Will my intel i7-8700k be a bottleneck to a new 3080? I'm not using a 1080 ti hydro copper card from EVGA with no issues. But I'm wanting to upgrade to a 3080.
What about about SLI is 2 1080ti better than 1 3080ti ?
for video editing and animation rendering in unreal
and also gaming
I would go with the faster single GPU, works better most of the time
@@ClassicalTechnology ok thanks
Damn, I remember when GTX 1080 Ti launched, time flies fast :(
Yep!
I remember too cause I bought a 1080 a week before the announcement.
I remember when the 9700 pro and ti4600 launched.. lol 9700pro changed gaming forever with its ability to runs AA and AF in games with no significant drop in fps
My no.1 reason: 4K/60fps gaming.
Right now, with my GTX 1080ti, i can play most of the new games in 1440p/60fps with Ultra or Very High details. For some games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, or Assassin's Creed Oydssey, i need to lower details even to medium to keep stable 60fps at 1440p.
RTX 3080 reaches easy 80-90 fps in 4K/Ultra in all games (ok, i know, in MFS not), sometimes even more.
I'm still trying to find a reason for upgrading my 1080ti, I thought getting a 4k monitor would force me to, but no.... Got R5 2600x thinking the gpu will bottle neck, nope, it's the cpu that's bottlenecking... The only reason I see to upgrade the gpu atm, is to see if there's a gpu around the same performance but with a better power consumption
Do you need to upgrade your power supply ( >750W) to power this GPU?
What's funny is I bought my 2060 earlier this year when all these new tech launches are already coming out
I currently have a 1080 Ti, and am still waiting on a backorder for a 3080 that I purchased almost a month ago.
Not a lot of people are talking about HDMI 2.1 30-series has. Do you think it's more comparable with Displayport now or even edging it slightly? Of course you'd need a display which has compatibility... but the new features it has and it's now higher throughput might deserve it a thought or two.
That's so true we can't even get a 3080 as bots are killing the service :(
6 months later: The wisest video ever posted on the internet
I had an AMD RX 5700 and just 'upgraded' to a GTX 1080 Ti. Big improvement. You couldn't get me to buy the new cards even for MSRP.
Excited for you to get your hands on a 3070 and give us your opinion on it and 1080p gaming. As mentioned in a previous comment of mine, I’m planning on sticking with my 1080p 144hz monitor, but in dire need of upgrading my old faithful GTX 970.
Anyhu, as always keep up the great job CT/Thiago! Cheers!
Thank you!
You should just get a 1660 or even a 2060. At 1080p youre gonna be bottlenecked by your cpu. Only upgrade when you want to play 1440p or 4k
I would like to ask a question. I am currently building my first pc build. For the gpu i use the 1080ti. Could you guys assure me that I’m making a good decision. My personal opinion is that the card still manages to beat the 20 series up to 2070 super and only losing in a few games released after the 20 series (control etc)
bro dont even worry about all that keep your mind on the 1080ti and upgrade to 3070 when prices become decent. if you play at 1080p bro you dont need better
I game mostly in 3D at 1080P with the now defunct Nvidia 3D vision. Since nobody has gotten that to work with the 3000 series, and it might be an eternity before they do (God bless those folks)... I decided to upgrade from my 1080 ti to a 2080 ti after the 3070 drops. They should hopefully go sub-500 again!. In my case the 3080 wouldn't yield much of a boost at all.
I think every other generation of gpu is probably the best overall upgrade path. You can get a good 4 years out of your gpu and sell it once you upgrade to help with the upgrade cost.
Good video but I disagree. 1 reason: 1080ti is still a beast and can run current games at 100+ fps at 1440p. So unless you have a 4k monitor you ll be fine another 2 years at least. 2nd: raytracing and dlss 2.0 are not an automatic visual upgrade, the technology is still new and can create more issues than benefits, especially dlss artifacts. Regarding raytracing, take a look at the comparison example on the nvidia official site: all those perfect reflections of the puddles are just really distracting. Our brain is wired to be attracted to shiny things and having em everywhere can be confusing and tiring. The eye needs some place to rest in between areas of detail. SO even if I love the new tech it will take a while before it gets properly executed by the majority of developers. Ue4 engine RTX tools, for example, are still evolving and most are not in the main branch of the engine yet. So in short: upgrading makes sense only if you take into consideration the games you play & the monitor you need to feed. RTX is the future, sure. I ll upgrade in the future then!
U probably a 1080ti owner who wants to defend its card lool, can run current games at 100+fps at 1440p?? Thats bullshit, really demanding games will not run above 100fps on ultra 1440p. I upgraded from 2070super to a 3080 so i know what i am talking about. In short if you have a gtx 1080ti/2070super or lower, it is definitly worth it to upgrade! At least if u play at 1440p or 4k
@@UnknownEnemyNL I don't need to "defend" a 1080ti, everyone knows is a great card. and I did not say I run all games with maxed settings. The same goes for your 2070 super, just cose you have the money and you can upgrade does not make it a smart decision, financially speaking, even if the 3080 is faster. That is the point I was trying to make + I am not fully sold on the need to buy rtx (and the consequent need to introduce dlss artifacts to compensate for fps loss)
Currently, i'm still using a 1080 ,with a i-5 6600k, on a 21/9 2k monitor, I'm really hesitating to update but don't know what...
Really interested in the 3060 to replace my 1050ti.
buy 3060ti to handle dlss and/or raytracing at 1080p/1440p.
3060 sucks.
hey i have a question, my cpu is overheating at 60 degrees celsius while idle, i have a huge 2 fan cooler master cooler, but it appears like i dont. i can send you a picture of the inside, just tell me where to send the picture
Make sure it is mounted properly and you have good airflow
@@ClassicalTechnology i have a atx case and a atx motherboard, but because the cooler is huge i cant put fans on top of the case or on the back. i have 2 intake fans and no exhaust fans because of no room. and yes the cooler is mounted properly, the case is clean, its a prebuilt from 2009 that has been upgraded.
I got my new Evga 2080 ftw3 for $440 from EVGA’s midweek madness sale. 1 year warranty and after I sell off my Thicc 3 ultra 5700xt for $370 I’m only paying $70 bucks for it. Plus when big Navi drops I’ll be able to sell off my 2080 for what I paid
Sold my 1080 ti about a month ago..now I'm cardless til next year I'm sure. Oh well!
I have a 1060 in my laptop, finally got the money and bought evry part except for a gpu, I've had my other parts for months
So wanting to upgrade my 1080ti strix w/c on my Acer X34P Ultra wide...My question is, would a 3080 be wasted on the 1440p ultra wide screen? Or would that be hitting the sweet spot? I have a Asus Maximus Hero X powered by an I9-9900KS...
acer predator xb271hu with my card GTX 1080 ti is ok combo or need new card ?
i skip 20 series and stick with my 1080ti, now my 3080 arrives first week of november, im so fucking excited.
It might necessitate a full upgrade for me. I've got a 5820k at 4.4Ghz and concerned about a significant bottlenecking. I'll check out more tests first then decide
If you're playing at 1440p then you'll be more gpu bottnecked
I want to get the 3070 but should i just go with a 2070 super? I kinda need to build my pc sooner that later and i know it is going to be hard to get a 3070. (I play mostly esports titles like Valorant, CSGO, and Rocket League) but also some triple A titles) And i game at 1080p. Nothing higher than that but i’m getting a 240hz monitor and I want to be able to hit that on most of those games
Me, an intellectual, waits until the 5080 comes out to replace my 1080TI with a 3080 since they might, just maybe, be in stock. Maybe.
Hehe
Congratulations, you are the first result when someone searches "DON'T UPGRADE YOUR 1080 TI UNTIL YOU WATCH THIS, RTX 3080 Worth it?"
Lol
I’m waiting til the stock normalizes, but I’m considering just waiting until I get a new motherboard with PCIE 4.0
i have a 1080ti fe and i do not want to upgrade but ive seen a frame rate drop with the release of recent games like elden ring. would you recomend upograding my cpu? it is an intel i7-4790 3.60GHz 4 cores. or should i just try to buy a 3060ti?
tbh I'd recommend trying to upgrade your cpu, it may be holding back your graphics card a bit especially with newer games
Lol i didnt even get a notification the recommendation was faster
😁
Great update 👏🥳
😁
I am running games with no problem at full HD with my 1080ti. I guess I'll wait for the next-gen cards. If I had a 900 series I would jump to 3000 series but not from a 1080ti.
Reason 1 not to upgrade. The 3080 is 1300$.. thats nearly 300-400$ more than a 1080ti was when new and hard to find in stores.. i paid 860$ for my 1080ti 6 months before the 2080ti came out... I still have it. For the games i play at 2560x1440 i still get 144fps. Some games i do see a dip down to 70-80 sometimes. But is it worth it to uograde for 1200-1300$ ?? Hell no.
F these overpriced video cards man
I have a 1060 with a 1440 monitor XD so yeah i will upgrade.great video like always
Thanks for this video Thiago, btw is it me or you still didn't made the giveaway of the 3080 that was planned for the 14th ofd october if i remember correctly? :)
I have an evga 1080 ftw. Upset about the delay but at least you confirm its worth it.
Kinda crazy I remember back when the 780ti came out and seeing TH-cam's get sLi cards even though I didn't know what I was looking at
Is gtx Titan x Pascal worth it for 300$? I want something for cad and solidworks. It is almost as fast as gtx 1080ti but it has 12gb of vram. Will it help or make no difference?
Im still kicking butt with 1060 no problems anywhere. I feel it is now a good time to upgrade to 3080. I might go with 3060 if I can't grab a 3080 by the time 3060 is out. I think people should avoid the 3070 even though majority will probably end up going that route.
i have an evga SC super clock 1080 Ti and a 4k monitor and i get 4K 60fps every game high/ultra settings no problem and this is in late 2023
Did the giveaway has been already concluded?
Upgrade from a 1070 to a 3070 worth it ? Or should i wait too ?
I mean if you can find a 3070 at or near MSRP, then I think it's a no-brainer. It's an insane jump in performance.
Definitely!
Yep
Okey thank you !
I don't have a 1080ti but I'm here for Another great video and it's here
Thanks!
my rig: Ryzen 7 1700X, 32GB, GTX1070 8GB, 650Watt PSU, 4k 60hz Monitor
I can play most recent games in 1440p and high details at 50 to 80 frames (BFV, Warzone, Cold War Beta, etc)
the 3070 cannot handle 4k ultra settings above 60fps. it´s 500$ for a performance level from 2 years ago... not worth it imo.
a 3080 or an AMD equivalent would be the best upgrade for the buck (...and a new psu!).
I would like an upgrade from a 1070 mainly because I upgraded my monitors from 1080p 60fps panels to 1440p 140pfs monitors and it’s been hell for the poor baby.
Edit: yeah! I even have a 1070 FE! And that boi gets hot almost instantly whenever playing any game that’s not like... factorio!
Upgrade if you want the RTX+DLSS features and 4k gaming. Of course, if you can get your hands on a 30xx series card lol. Harder than a Mew to catch.
I feel this video is made specially for me as i’m still on my gtx1080ti
your video came out too late man. i sold my 1080ti cause i wanted a 3080 and was scared my 1080ti would drop so much in value and wanted to sell it before it did. now i have no card at all
I just sold my 7700k 1080 PC :(
The biggest differance between these GPUs that I see is frame rate.
I have a 1070ti founders, hoping that I can get a 3080 FE
I have the 1070ti and stay verry happy with this ,just I thingk Its gonna be just for assasins creed valhalla next mond ,good work for youre videos,Grtz from belgium
Great morning video !
I need an upgrade. Even a 3060 would be a massive improvement, as I'm still on my 2gb GTX 660 from 9 years ago in my new build.
Built a new one, just waiting on the new GPU's to come out.
Bruh his voice is so calming
Very informative and bad ass name Thiago
Wow a video perfectly for me, a 1080ti FE user. I had upgraded the cooler to an Arctic Accelero Extreme IV because the blower was extremely loud and the temps weren't too impressive.
I think the 3080s beastly performance yet silent and cool when underclocked will be perfect for gaming on my 280hz monitor. It's no 360 but it's close enough to do the job.
ofc im trying to upgrade from my 1080. 3080 is like 3 times more powerful xD 200th in my queue so should see it within a month fingers crossed
Running a 2080, however, I am building a new system to give my current system to my wife for school. I will use my 2080 until next year. I am just wanting to get the 5900x to replace my 2700x.
