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 know some folks are having timid issues with the 3080's VRAM, but I'm honestly not that bothered, mainly because it's one gig less than my Aorus 1080ti, but it's a new memory architecture, making it more efficient with it's memory than my 1080ti, and costing the same price as when I first bought the 1080ti.

I'm in the same boat, but I feel like I'll grab the 3080 nearly next year, grab the new hw that'll pair nicely with it and then bide my time with it until the 4000 series, and if that series isn't as good of a leap as the 3000 series, then I'll simply replace my 3080 with a cheaper variant, because by the time the 4000 series comes out, the 3000 series variants should be cheaper in some areas, meaning I'm not much at a loss, and I'll still be able to roll with the new technology in next gen games. 

I'm a bit like Yuri though. I've waited this long, and I do kinda want to mess with the RT in games and other things sooner, rather than much later on.
