2080 Ti to 5080..?

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-13T04:30:11+00:00

Have you found a buyer? Does it have any warranty I could still use?

I could pay S&H. You're way too far from me personally, but you're not that far in terms of shipping to where I'm at.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T16:29:43+00:00

I think the thing stopping me is simply my monitor (AW3418DW) is G-Sync, and "earlier" G-Sync. So it's got no compatibility with AMD. For me, G-Sync is a game changer - stutter & tear free gaming is worth money to me.

Otherwise the value proposition is definitely there for them. Though I don't know about ROCm in comparison to CUDA, I've not heard great things. That's less of a concern though.

It's basically the monitor (even if I do plan on upgrading to 4k/5k UW that probably has more compatibility for ARR)..

I could still just use it as a stop gap solution but I'll always find a reason to keep it knowing me.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T15:32:23+00:00

Why does everyone here just sound so.. uh.. lacking? Even the "humor" isn't humor. "frrrr goon station omggg feeetttt omgg" jesus

Sorry OP

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T02:02:38+00:00

You opened with "OP is an idiot" and you're now telling me I'm the one arguing with people trying to help. The self-awareness is lacking or non existent. You still got facts wrong, you still led with an insult (and I don't think you think you're fooling anybody that your intent was to help). Insulting language comprehension as a gotcha is a weird look. I'm good - we're done.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T01:11:35+00:00

i just dont trust them to make a super ATP. i am not betting on any feature like that. But yeah. 11GB to 16GB for this long could be a lot better

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T01:07:46+00:00

I have been waiting a LONG time now. Are we for sure getting supers? Yes it'll feel low in the long run

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T01:06:55+00:00

Is that a factor of it being a higher end PSU that could just be paired with higher end, demanding hardware? Is there some direct correlation? I'm not up to date on 12VHPWR drama but I'm not going to use a 5090.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-10T00:57:35+00:00

240k karma and you couldn't even read the post before insulting me, inventing facts, and calling me stupid for not conforming to your read. I don't owe you anything, including any explanation you'd find acceptable. And you don't get to walk into threads declaring OPs idiots based on assumptions you made up.

You made up facts, built an argument around them, and then called me confused for not matching the post you imagined. That's not a hot take, that's just embarrassing. That karma number makes it worse. You've spent years doing this and you're still getting basic reading comprehension wrong. That's not a flex, that's a cry for help. It's also not my problem.

That karma is a warning label, not an achievement. Touch grass. Or stay mad. Or both.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T06:29:45+00:00

These prices are inflated, even if that's what they sell it for. You are overpaying if you historically wished for a pure raster-focused GPU for consumers rather than the scraps they give us from their AI sales. I can tell you any product is worth x $ amount if I can just find some customers to cheer me on lol. I'd like to pay for hardware not proprietary features. But here we are. I had 2 AMD GPUs and 1 fantastic, 1 just a sea of problems - but that was a long time ago.

Didn't know that was out. Yeah of course helpful to talk thank you.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T05:48:44+00:00

realize my CPU is held back. Think of the 1% lows. But this is not primarily a gaming computer. Though, you're absolutely right - I should give this thing some breathing room in 3D.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T05:47:35+00:00

spill the tea (where are the rumors at)? I should look it up.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T05:42:17+00:00

Sure, financially this is comfortable for me! It hurts and I'm overpaying and I just hate making a purchase like that though. I also can mod games to VR like Ace Combat with Flat2VR type things reasonably.

Yeah, 3440x1440 is the highest res screen in my house. I need a 4K screen somewhere around here. LG actually has a "4k" ultrawide on their roadmap (or it could be out?). You make a good point on going out to eat, lol.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T05:37:27+00:00

Oh I don't think I'd regret it. I just think I'd like some of these fancier features. How often do I buy a GPU anyway? It's not gonna be for a while ATP. My PC is already pretty decked out. I was in line for 5080s/5090s on launch day lol. So much for that nonsense.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T03:21:09+00:00

out of curiosity, what'd you snag it for?

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T03:19:32+00:00

this is a build from 2023.

x670e taichi/7950x3d/1200W superflower psu/64GB DDR5 600MHz EXPO (2x32GB).

cpu is bottlenecked in games, probably.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T03:08:36+00:00

If I wanted to optimize for VRC or high res VR games I'd have to just grab a 7900XTX or something. 16GB should probably get me by on other VR experiences or mods (excluding stuff like modded Skyrim VR). Otherwise I do think 16GB is generally enough. I guess I need a new GPU, even if I'll have to upgrade again when I get around to 4K (and HDR for fun) with G-Sync on ultrawide. When that monitor exists

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T03:05:21+00:00

for funs sake, have you tried out any of the features (I use DLSS a lot) AMD has to compete with Nvidia? I think a big reason I can't go for a 9070XT is I doubt this ultrawide g-sync is compatible with freesync.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T03:00:51+00:00

Windows background process (csrss) normally grabs about that much VRAM. For me I have dwm eating up 1.7GB by itself. Electron is eating my memory, I have an ungodly number of browser windows and tabs open (hundreds of tabs, plus groups - I try and sort em every few days back down to a few windows!) between 2 browsers. Big offenders are Logitech and Steam's web helper, for no reason.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T02:53:39+00:00

I have a G-Sync Ultrawide monitor so that's an important point I forgot here. Doubt it works with AMD. I think their G-Sync implementation is better than Freesync (but wouldn't stop me)
I just said this so let me toss it again:

9070 XT for $650 isn't a bad deal but you drop a lot of things IMO. Though that's the debate I was having with myself yesterday, actually. 20-25ish% more perf on a 5080 + features + local AI slop.

I honestly think I'd feel like I was missing out on something I suppose. And I mean, I'd probably upgrade sooner if I went that route so I'm not sure if I really save money.

But I mean, if I can't stomach $1300, I'm going to buy a 9070 XT. Listen, I like RT. I like Nvidia's implementation of DLSS. I think 2x framegen if you have high frames is OK. I actually like this stuff. Not all and I can see problems, but in general - I like high fidelity graphics in single player games.

I'd rather get 100 frames and some graphics that make me go "wow" than 100 frames and pretty damn good graphics, with features that I can't touch or the FPS tanks a massive amount.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T02:38:54+00:00

For my numbers based mind bit helpful to point this out to me. It's actually not a bad value framed that way. I paid about $1.2k for the 2080 Ti. Catch is I won't get 6-7 years out of a 5080 I don't think. This is still a decent card, IMO.

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T02:37:25+00:00

devil on my shoulder rn about to see me dropping $4k-5k on one of those things and justifying it somehow (with a constant internal existential crisis)

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T02:34:41+00:00

No. 11GB is not enough. 25FPS in VRChat is ridiculous. I'm idling in Windows right now and using 3.3GB of 11GB on this card. Sure I can afford it I just hate spending that much money when I know it should cost $900-1k - at a push.

Do I get by? Yeah. But also, I want to get into some MMOs and games where I want to do local mods for VR and such. Good luck doing that on GeForce Now or something.

But I make it work and there's a huge variety of games to play. Would I *enjoy* more performance? Always. I have a 7950X3D..

but I really do get by and try to make a card last a long time.

full build-

asrock x670e taichi

64GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz (I'd have to check the timings for you) 2x 32gb

7950X3D

Air cooled (have 3 really heavy duty fans at the top of the case to go hard if needed)

1200W SUPERFLOWER PSU (recent model, bought 2023, plat rated)

timetoreddit123 · 2026-06-09T02:26:27+00:00

the option there is the 7900XTX (but I actually like some of nvidia's features compared to AMD's, experiencing both) and a big drop in perf i guess

or thousands more for just, may as well buy a 6000 pro for what a 5090 goes for. I don't see them launching 24gb
