| Norion said: I'm currently unsure if I should get a 3080 and then upgrade my GPU again and also do a full system upgrade in 2024/2025 or do a full system upgrade in 2022/2023. I have a PC with a 1080ti and 7700k I got in 2017. It'll last for another 2-3 years perfectly fine but man DLSS sure is tempting. Which option do y'all think is best? |
I'd wait for the reviews first and then decide. If you can make it last until 4000 series, then that card will certainly age better for the generation than 3000 series and 1080 Ti is still an excellent card. Not to mention pairing that with DDR5 and PCI-E 5.0 should be a pretty incredible leap.
Personally I am upgrading from my 1080 cause I want those next gen goodies like ray tracing/DLSS/4k and don't want to wait.
Really depends on the type of person you are. Depending on the resolution, the 3080 might get bottlenecked by the 7700k in certain games.
