I'm looking for recommendations on the best GPU around $1200 or less, assuming money isn't really an issue. I want to know which GPU would perform best for various game types, including first-person shooters, RPGs, and all-around gaming. Any advice?

Honestly, if you're not too worried about the price, the 5080 is the way to go. But I'd also suggest considering the 5070 Ti. It usually costs 30-50% less than the 5080 and only offers about 10-20% more FPS, so you really get a good bang for your buck without sacrificing too much performance.
Totally! Plus, you'd save quite a bit of cash doing it that way.
I'd say the 5080 is your best bet in that price range. It just performs really well across all game types.
Skip Nvidia and consider going with AMD! I recently got a 7900XTX for about $1000. It runs everything at max settings and has been fantastic for gaming and experimenting with local AI.
For sure, the 5080 is a strong pick. But honestly, if you’re keeping it under $1200, the 5070 Ti is close enough in performance for the price difference.
Exactly! More money for other upgrades if you go with the 5070 Ti!
You can always invest that savings in a better monitor or peripherals!
If budget isn't a concern, go for the 5090. However, if you're sticking to under $1200, the 5080 is a solid choice. It's really powerful for both FPS and RPGs, offering great performance without the need to overclock.
Yeah, I agree! The 5070 Ti is a great value and still handles most games easily.
