I've been using my MSI Gaming X Trio 3080 since it launched at retail price, and it's served me well. However, it's been 5 years, and games are getting increasingly demanding. While I'm okay reducing the graphics settings for Monster Hunter Wilds to boost my frame rates, I'd like to upgrade my card for better performance. My girlfriend has an older card (maybe a 1060 or 1070) that struggles with newer games, so my plan is to upgrade my GPU for myself and pass my 3080 to her. Given the crazy GPU prices right now, is it really worth making an upgrade? If so, what's a good price-to-performance upgrade? I'm considering something like the 5070 Ti or 5080, but the idea of a 5090 feels like overkill. I'd really appreciate any advice!

You might want to look into the 5070 Ti or the 9070 XT. Those are becoming the go-to options, especially with the current prices. They should give you about 45% better performance compared to your 3080, which is a solid upgrade!
Thanks for the tip!
