I already did my research beforehand and confirmed that 3080 is indeed good value and suitable for my needs.

But… its literally not in any way…

Ok, dunno why you’re asking for help when you already know better lol. I tried to help you

You sound set on buying the 3080, which is totally fine I guess. It’s not like it won’t render 1080p games with great performance.

You’re just going to be overpaying for an obsolete GPU that you won’t actually be able to utilize fully, and will be bottlenecked on VRAM before games can actually push it fully. Meanwhile there are newer GPUs that will also render 1080p games with the same performance for less money. The 3080 has already aged out and has no future proof value so you’ll just end up replacing it soon. So its just a really poor choice and poor value to buy one in 2025.

It had enough VRAM at the time and now is even considered one of the best NVidia GPUs ever made by some people

It’s wild how wrong you are. The 3080 was widely received as a total flop and NVIDIA was heavily criticized for it because it was obvious they purposely put too little VRAM to encourage more sales of the 3090… It is the worst X080 series GPU NVIDIA has released and only had marginal performance uplift over the 2080.

EDIT: lol you can downvote me but it doesn’t make me wrong

PC LOAD LETTER!?

Right, that’s kind of my point. I wouldn’t recommend a 3080 period, anymore, especially for 1080p gaming. It is a card that never really made much sense, even new, and in the last 5 years there are newer and cheaper cards that will match or beat 3080 performance for 1080p/1440p

Ok lol you do you. In that case, you can also completely ignore any CPU bottleneck potential. There’s no real downside to a CPU bottleneck for you, then.

Why is a 5 year old card designed for 4K gaming a good value and offers more than new and cheaper cards designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming?

The beflief is that Epstein collected and kept evidence that he could use to blackmail his wealthy and powerful clients, either on behalf of an intelligence agency which he had claimed to have ties to, or just to protect himself and gain personal influence and power.

This isn’t a right wing conspiracy, it cuts across the US political spectrum

I would definitely not recommend buying a 3080 in 2025 for 1080p gaming, unless it’s basically free.

You’d probably be much better off with something like 9060 XT 16GB, which would be good for 1080p now and good to use with a future 1440p upgrade, or 9070 XT if you want to splurge

The cheaper energy becomes, the more of a threat it is to literally all of the world’s heirarchies of power. The people at the top that benefit most from these heirarchies and who have the most control are also the most disincentivized from finding a solution that makes energy cheaper for all.

Keep making excuses for them. His own voters chose Mamdani to represent the party. It seems like Hakeem Jefferies is the one that doesn’t understand NY or how to represent his constituents.

solidarity fighting Trump is about the best endorsement he’s gonna get

We’re talking about a US citizen being arrested and deported for political reasons. They should oppose that no matter who the target is, republican, democrat, anyone. That’s not an endorsement, that’s just what they should do no matter what. I’m not going to applaud them for saying that’s bad. 🙄

An endorsement would be an endorsement.

Oh wow!!! Not wanting to violate the law by arresting and deporting an American citizen??? The absolute bare minimum and what should be the literal default for everyone in public office??? 👀

Dude.

Let me know when Hakeem Jefferies endorses Zohran Mamdani.

“Vote blue no matter who” for me but not for thee!!

We’ve also probably got viruses as a permanent part of our genome from some ancestor species.

We definitely have viruses as a permanent part of our genome. A type of herpes virus is present in the DNA of all living things descended from bony fishes

The funny part is the leak could only have come from inside his administration and party because he withheld briefings from his political opponents

Everything you just said applies to proprietary software but worse lol
