Checked out the overview of the new Nvidia GPUs and as expected no reason to upgrade from the 4080. There's nothing with similar specs that saves significant on TDP or gives a performance/VRAM increase for the same TDP. The 6000 series will probably be interesting again.

Not meant to be overly negative. It's just tradition at this point that upgrading from one Nvidia GPU generation to the next is rarely worth it. Ever since the GTX cards I always skipped a gen or two before investing again.

@memoriesin8bit I'm still on my 2080 Ti and I've yet to feel the need to upgrade

@aeva I get that. If it weren't for my 1440p displays that overwhelmed my 1080ti way more than I thought, I would probably still have that card. Otherwise I would have maybe gotten a lil 4070. But then a [REDACTED] project came up at work that made me go for the 4080. And in hindsight I'm happy cause that bit of extra VRam gives me some headroom for Linux gaming (Wine/Proton overhead inflates that a bit).
