Hey guys, I've been mulling this over for the last couple of months and following Ampere news pretty closely. You can see my current rig in my signature. My questions:
1. How much more powerful does the 3080 need to be vs. the 2080 for the upgrade to even be worth it at all?
2. Assuming the performance gain is enough, how much do you think I should pay out of pocket (after I sell my 2080)?
FYI the only reason I am even considering this upgrade is because my monitor is a 120 Hz, 1440p ultrawide. Although the 2080 has served me well up to now, in the coming years it is going to start struggling a little with some titles (Cyberpunk 2077 comes to mind). I just recently finished RDR2 (absolutely amazing game btw) but I couldn't get near high or ultra graphics settings, not if I wanted to maintain 60 Hz minimum.
Also, I will not consider AMD cards because my monitor is G-Sync.
