Having a 3080ti and crying about it is humblebraging because you want someone to pitty you for having a better GPU than 97% of the population.

It's like crying your 2022 Mercedes needs new tires while people drive around in 1995 Volkswagens.

I have one, for the longest time I thought of upgrading cause bigger number equals better? Is it really that good?

I mean, a 5080 is better than a 3080, but the 3080 is still very, very capable. There is not a single game that can't use it.

It's comparing a 2020 Ferrari and a 2025 Ferrari. The 2025 is better, but the 2020 is still very, very good and there is no extreme need to upgrade. If you can and want to, that is okay, of course.

There are very few GPUs that are faster, without spending way more money, unfortunately.

Performance progress has slowed down a lot these last few years.

I was contemplating upgrading mine too but right now I don't thinks its worth it. 3080ti is only slightly weaker than a 5070 and you can enable frame gen on 30 series cards now. So the only worthwhile upgrade is the 5080 but it costs about 2.5 times more than what I payed for my used 3080ti
