Ti aged better compared to a 1080 (which was the card I upgraded from). My 1080 was basically a 4k30 card for the majority of its lifespan while the 1080 Ti was a 4k45-60 card for quite a long while.The 3080 12G destroys the 1080, which it should. But I was shocked by how often it was destroying it while using less power to run a game. Like in MHW. Or Horizon Zero Dawn. I had to lower settings in HZD to get 4k30 on the regular and my 1080 8G would regularly hit above 200watts. Using max settings with my undervolt, my 3080 12G will regularly benchmark well below 200 watts and be a smooth 4k60 native. At DLSS, it would sit way below, around 150 watts, and have superior AA to boot.This card is amazing. The price is not. I wish I felt like the 40 series would be available to met in 2022, but I do not. I spent two years trying to get a card during shortages, parts shortages, scalpers, and online sites that refused to create queues to help smooth out the frustration. Not me, not again. I'd rather have what I can guarantee I can get now and probably get 4070-like performance with what I assume will be a modest increase in price over that later card but it's in my hands right now with superior memory bandwidth.Hopefully, this helps anyone else. TLDR; card is quiet, has great power limit to help you do
