Should I Get a Used RTX 4080 or a New 5070 Ti?
Asked by

I'm in the process of building a new PC since my current setup is over 8 years old, sporting an RTX 1060 and running at 1440p. I'm considering two options: a used RTX 4080 available for around 900 euros (it's about 3 years old) or a brand new 5070 Ti that would cost me between 1100 and 1200 euros. Performance wise, I've read that the two cards are quite comparable, with the 4080 often coming out on top. Are there any significant downsides to opting for the 4080 instead?

1200 euros for a 5070 Ti feels way over the line—kind of like 5080 pricing. Don't let them fool you into paying that!

I'd lean towards the 5070 Ti because it comes with upgraded VRAM and the latest tech like improved encoders and ray tracing cores. Plus, it supports frame generation, which can be a game-changer for you!

The 5070 Ti offers multi-frame generation, which is quite handy. It boils down to how much that feature means to you and your gaming habits.

Euron00b: Yeah, that's just how pricing goes in Europe. OP might be experiencing typical high costs, especially in Sweden. Meanwhile, over in the US, people complain about $850 plus tax, which is about 770 euros!
