Without fail, every video containing an RTX 3080 gets countless comments about the stock levels, or lack thereof, of those cards. Everyone is hyped about them, and for good reason. They are impressive cards that actually seem to offer plausibly decent value for money, but do you actually need one? Well I’ve got some now “last gen” GPUs, a 2080ti, 2080, 2070, and a 1070, so lets compare how well these perform at the different resolutions and see if you should actually consider upgrading, but first, if you haven’t already, consider subscribing for more videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

The obvious answer is no, you don’t need one, but there are some cases where it might make more sense to want one, so lets take a look at them. If you are playing at 1080p, unless you are using 240 or 360Hz monitors, you don’t really need more than an RTX 2080 or GTX 1080ti, give or take. Those cards sit right around the 144FPS mark, and are fairly consistent at it too. Here’s the set of 1080p benchmarks to explain more.

		GTX 1070	RTX 2070	RTX 2080	RTX 2080ti	RTX 3080
COD MW	1080p AVG	90	124	144	176	197
1% Low	76	104	118	142	155
BFV	1080p AVG	82	121	141	177	199
1% Low	71	111	128	152	127
Fortnite	1080p AVG	95	126	141	167	175
1% Low	76	92	105	87	116

At 1440p, it makes more sense to be stepping up to 2080tis and 3080s, especially for high refresh rate, ultra settings gameplay. Although in reality even a GTX 1070 is fine if you are willing to turn a few settings down so it’s not like they are necessities. Anyway, lets take a look at the 1440p numbers.

		GTX 1070	RTX 2070	RTX 2080	RTX 2080ti	RTX 3080
COD MW	1440p AVG	64	86	110	137	156
1% Low	52	71	92	117	124
BFV	1440p AVG	62	90	108	151	162
1% Low	54	77	99	128	139
Fortnite	1440p AVG	60	86	103	131	153
1% Low	51	70	83	93	108

At 4K it starts to make more sense going for the truly high end cards. A GTX 1070 just doesn’t cut it, and even the 2070 struggles. If you want a locked 60FPS, a 2080ti or 3080 are pretty much your only options, and if you are a mad man and want to game at 4K 144Hz, well the 3080 or dare I say it, the 3090, are your best bets. Here’s the 4K numbers.

		GTX 1070	RTX 2070	RTX 2080	RTX 2080ti	RTX 3080
COD MW	4K AVG	35	52	65	83	96
1% Low	28	45	55	70	80
BFV	4K AVG	35	54	62	85	98
1% Low	18	48	54	77	85
Fortnite	4K AVG	32	46	57	72	95
1% Low	18	27	30	51	68

What’s interesting is that if you’ve got a GTX 1070 and are considering upgrading, you are getting 2x the performance at 1080p, or nearly 3x the performance at 4K, at the cost of spending 4x what your card is currently worth. It’s a very sizable upgrade, if expensive. If you’ve got a 2070, it still might be worth it, if you are playing at 1440p or above, and must have the highest settings on. Anything above that and I’m not sure that, in general anyway, it’ll be worth the extra cash. 

For me, the way I upgrade my PC is basically if I notice a problem, I’ll look to solve it. If I’m actively noticing lagging or low FPS while gaming, yeah I’d think about a new GPU. I’d probably turn some settings down first, but still. I’m not one for frivolous upgrades, and in general that’s what I recommend to you. Is there an actual problem with your gaming experience, or do you just want the new shiny thing? I mean, that’s ok too, it’s your money, but the majority of people can rest assured that the 3080 doesn’t absolutely have to be in their PC right now.

Of course the 3070 is coming out very soon, so if you’d like to see a 3070 tested against this lot hit that subscribe button and let me know in the comments.
