I would honestly say the 3080 is a tad overkill. 3070 looks like much better value for the foreseeable, and thats still a 2x upgrade on the 2070.

I say that because the 3070 can crunch though ultra 4k/60fps with RT, but don't suspect the 3080 can do the same at 8k. I'd say get the 3070 and squirrel away the £200 difference and put it in the jar that says "8k screen". Or save it for next year when the consoles get exclusives

I don't think anyone is buying a 3080 for 8k gaming. 

8k resolution in the context of a monitor on a desk is stupid anyway. You're at maximum eye resolve at that size and distance. Plus no 10GB Vram card is being aimed at 8k. It's just for better performing 4k. 

4000 series Nvidia might try to advertise 8k but really it's for high refresh rate 4k with a lot of extra post processing.

Officially no longer amazing.
