Going from a Gigabyte geforce RTX 4070 OC to a 5080 worth it for £1000vsPerformance gain?

Has to be this one as I get some technology benefit from work that is limited to £1000 from Currys.

Are you at 4K or something? Otherwise I can't imagine the £ to performance gain is worth it. Even at 4K I'd probably want more than 16GB of VRAM

I looked at the 5080 and opted to wait for the 5080 super. Expected to be announced in Jan.

That would be ideal but would be over the £1000 budget, so looks like I'm tied to a standard 5080 or nothing

No, just running my Philips Envia 49", 5120x1440 I think.

Currently rocking a pair of 980ti hybrids in sli, would it be worth upgrading to a 2080/3080?

Yes. Very yes. 3080 will probably be double the performance (I wouldn’t bother with 20 series), and SLI support these days is pretty poor and will get worse going forward.

However if your CPU is as old as the 980tis it may be your next bottleneck.

6700k is probably a smidgen younger.

it quite comfortably hits 60-70fps on a 21:9 on max settings.
i'm just finding it hard to justify the upgrade just for iracing

Can't imagine it'll be too much higher than £1000

If it’s the same as what my work do then you’ll get a voucher to use so whatever you get can be more than £1000.

after nearly 10 years of a stable solid overclock it finally ate the dust with frame rates dropping as low as 15 at 1080p before completely giving up on me

Well my new pc is getting built today, unfortunately I’m not there to see how it’s built and to lend a hand. Hopefully it all goes goes well. Think I ordered my first part very earlier in the year and last part few weeks ago.
