Is it worth upgrading from a 4070 Ti to a 5080 for 1080p gaming?

Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading from my 4070 Ti to a 5080. I can sell my current card for €550 and get the 5080 for €1060. Here's my current setup:
- i7 14700k
- 4070 Ti
- 850W Gold PSU
I mainly game at 1080p with a 240Hz monitor, and FPS is really important for me. I've seen benchmarks suggesting about a 35% performance boost with the 5080. For instance, when I play Arc Raiders on Epic settings, I hit around 150fps—would I see an increase to around 200fps? Additionally, I'm curious if my PSU will handle the 5080, and if my CPU will bottleneck at 1080p with that card.

You might want to downscale the graphics settings or utilize DLSS on your 4070 Ti instead. If you're set on an upgrade, though, maybe consider a 1440p OLED monitor instead of just upgrading your GPU? That could give you more visual quality without breaking the bank.

GamerChick88: I'm already using DLSS, but lowering settings makes everything look pretty bad, haha. I get your suggestion, though!
