I currently have a GTX 1080 and just got myself a 3440x1440 165Hz monitor. I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to keep up with modern AAA titles. What graphics cards should I consider? Should I aim for something like the 3080, 3080 Ti, or even newer options like the 4000 or 5000 series?

Anything from the 5070 Ti and above should be good. The 3080 is somewhat outdated now, especially with newer models being available that offer better performance for your needs.
Before deciding, what's your CPU and other system specs? It's important since those will affect performance too. Just so you know, I’ve got a Ryzen 7 3700X with 32GB of RAM, and I’m planning to upgrade my PSU as well since a GPU upgrade is on the way.
It really depends on your budget! If you're looking to keep it under $1000, that narrows things down a bit. You might want to aim for something in the RTX 5070 series or higher, as those should handle gaming at 3440x1440 better than your current setup.
Honestly, with ultra-wide resolutions, you'll need some serious power. The RTX 4090 is a beast, but it can get quite pricey. The RTX 5070 is also a solid choice, offering good performance and DLSS 4 support for those AAA games.
