I'm considering upgrading my graphics card since I'm facing VRAM issues with my current RTX 3080. While it's great for 4K gaming when VRAM usage is low, I've recently hit a wall with some games needing around 13 GB of VRAM, which is causing serious lag. I'm torn between getting a 5070 Ti, which offers 16 GB of VRAM and is more budget-friendly, or going for the more expensive 5080. I'm worried that in a couple of years, 16 GB might not cut it, forcing me to upgrade again.

Honestly, the 5070 Ti seems like the best option right now, especially since the 5090 is priced way out of reach for most folks. With only 16 GB of VRAM being the top spec, it’s pretty much the only choice unless you want to break the bank. Plus, it's a huge upgrade from your 3080 even without considering VRAM.
Right? I’m with you on that. The 5070 Ti will save you some cash now, and you can always upgrade later if you need to.
