I'm gaming at 1440p/144Hz and nearly everything I play is over 100fps/max settings. There's no lack of performance right now so no need to upgrade yet.

 

my GTX 1080 is already maxed out at 100% in the games I play @ 1440p/144Hz (144 FPS in Project Cars 2) with the card running OC'd @ 1936 MHz (default clock is 1633 MHz) and runs at a max of around 50°C  

that's with most settings on ultra (not Micro Flight Sim cos GPU killa) 

 

I want a GPU that will run all settings on ultra (@1440p/144Hz) with room to move (not running at 100% all the time) and theoretically it will run cooler and therefore last longer

not that my 1080 runs hot (cos water cooled)

for me an upgrade to a 3080 would be a massive jump in performance

A gpu should always be running at 100% unless it is CPU bottlenecked or frame rate limited. If one of these factors aren't in play, it indicates a potential issue.

 

There is nothing on the market yet that will run every game at a minimum of 144Hz with max settings on 1440p, as there are a few outliers such as rdr2, Microsoft flight simulator, Crysis, BeamNG.drive etc.

 

All that bizzo aside you're farken spot on that a 3080 will be a good upgrade. Hell a 1080ti would be a good upgrade :laughing:

 

At 1440p you shouldn't need to upgrade a 3080 for at least 5 years. By then 4k 144Hz will be affordable and there will be a whole new round of upgrades to discuss!

not true

turn settings ingame from ultra to high and GPU will run at 70-80%

some games even run 80-90% with everything on ultra

Well I caved. Have ordered myself a eVGA 3080. Unsure when the stocks are going to get in so may be a while before I get my hands on it anyway.

Got wayy too caught up in the livestream hype.. should be a nice upgrade to my 1070 and last until I build again
