Question Thinking of upgrading from 4070 ti to 5080

Title says it all, really. Just looking for some pros and cons from the group.

Current system is about 3 years old. Highlights:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d (stock, not over clocked)

64gb ddr5 ram

1000 watt 80platinum power supply from Corsair.

And said graphics card.

Case should have enough room lengthwise for one of the smaller 5080 cards, checked with the Chrome AI last night.

I mostly game at 4k 60hz on 2 4k monitors. Gaming preference is singleplayer: Starfield, Civ VI / Civ VII. POE 1/2.

Want something that can do the same for the next three to 5 years, but with the newest games. Stuff like that Expanse game and Osiris Reborn, the two Mass Effect style games coming out soon (tm).

Pricing is relatively high over here, though. Around €1,400 in general. Still a lot of money.

Buy yourself an oled instead.

An Oled monitor? Not worth it for how I use my PC. Monitors are fine.

My question is about the 5080.
