Getting a single 3080 that matches it or better will be a good feeling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no lack of performance right now so no need to upgrade yet. my GTX 1080 is already maxed out at 100% in the games I play @ 1440p/144Hz (144 FPS in Project Cars 2) with the card running OC'd @ 1936 MHz (default clock is 1633 MHz) and runs at a max of around 50°C that's with most settings on ultra (not Micro Flight Sim cos GPU killa) I want a GPU that will run all settings on ultra (@1440p/144Hz) with room to move (not running at 100% all the time) and theoretically it will run cooler and therefore last longer not that my 1080 runs hot (cos water cooled) for me an upgrade to a 3080 would be a massive jump in performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of these factors aren't in play, it indicates a potential issue. There is nothing on the market yet that will run every game at a minimum of 144Hz with max settings on 1440p, as there are a few outliers such as rdr2, Microsoft flight simulator, Crysis, BeamNG.drive etc. All that bizzo aside you're farken spot on that a 3080 will be a good upgrade. Hell a 1080ti would be a good upgrade At 1440p you shouldn't need to upgrade a 3080 for at least 5 years. By then 4k 144Hz will be affordable and there will be a whole new round of upgrades to discuss! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
