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 9070 XT
The best AMD card since the 6800 XT. Raster performance rivals the 5070 Ti; RT is closer than ever but still a step behind. FSR 4 finally competitive with DLSS at Quality settings.
