I play Red Dead Redemption 2, Max Preset at 4K with an RTX 3080 paired with a R7 5800X. (No DLSS) I've never seen it drop below 60. It's still more than capable in all games at 4K. In Cyberpunk 2077 all settings are maxed (except SSR set to high and quality DLSS) and I score over 70 FPS with the in game benchmark. It's a total beast!

I got the 12gb version and I can ultra most games on 1440p with no issues. I do think we're going to be needing 16gb minimum VRAM within a year or two though
But 1080p is very outdated. Last year I switched to 1440p and I'll only use a resolution below 1440p on a portable device. Granted I got an RX 7800 XT but I recommend Nvidia-users to find a way to buy GPUs that have enough VRAM just to cushion. @@madboi1591

3080 was probably the best card I have ever owned. Used it for 3 years until I upgraded to the 4080, which is still a great card, until the 4080 super dropped, and I wanna upgrade again.

Just got a watercooled 3080 fe 10gb for £400 last month, yes very worth it, can be undervolted and limited to 80% power for cheaper everyday use for most games I’ve played with zero performance loss at 1440p
Honestly for 400£ there is not much to choose, maybe 7700xt or 6800 which performs a bit worse. But its a bummer that you didn't find one for 12gb that would be a steal. I bought my 3080 ti for 480£ in summer of 2023 and it was decent with graphite pads and liquid metal it never hits 80 degrees.
Got a 10GB Vision and there's absolutely nothing in the 40xx series that is worth upgrading to... due to the shady memory bus on the lower cards, none of them are worth it... apart from maybe the 4080ti and 4090... even then, the premium is not worth it for such a small bump...

I have only played GTA V at 4K so far. I had to drop the settings slightly below maximum at 4K to pin it at 60 FPS which is the refresh rate of my projector. It stays very cool and is probably better for my CPU thermals this way.
