The launch legend. Still very playable, just power-hungry by modern standards.

Verdict — RTX 3080
Great card in its era. If you have one, keep it — it's still perfectly capable. Newer cards match its performance at half the power draw.
Verdict — RX 7800 XT
Best price-per-frame at 1440p for its generation. FSR is workable, RT is passable but not why you'd buy it. Very popular pick with informed budget builders.
