Not enough verified runs yet for a fair pool verdict — averages appear once each side has at least five.

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 4090

If you already have one, keep it — it's still a top-tier card. If you're shopping used, weigh it against a new 5080; the used discount needs to be significant to justify the older architecture.
