Verdict — RTX 5070 Ti
For most people wanting to game at 1440p or entry-level 4K, this is the card to buy. Aftermarket pricing is often close enough to the 5080 to make that upsell tempting.
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.
