Late gamer here for pc building. I’m a late bloomer into pc building so I have to deal with current market prices.
5090 tuf for 3,500 USD that’s with taxes included
Or
5090 Astral for 4,200 USD that’s with taxes included
Or 5080 Astral for 2k USD taxes included
So I just swapped to a 5080. I’m used to playing low frame rates at max settings with my xtx in most modern games in 4k And I’m blown away at the fact of using INT8 FSR 4 max settings with medium ray tracing I’d get 40-50 fps on cyber punk I’d experience slight stutters with the 5080 DLSS and path tracing on I get the same amount of frames and holy there are no stutters at all. Mind you I have seen loading screen stutters and other micro stutters from having an xtx on various games like arc raiders/marvel rivals. All those stutters disappeared with the 5080. Most games I’ve seen a 30-40fps increase in everything I play.
Was this a W on my end? Also here are my user bench marks.
7900xtx to 5080, talked to the peeps at micro center and was able to work out this deal through protection plan.
Probably might have a better time in editing work!

Does anyone have a good recommendation link to watch to over clock the 5080? Lmk please thanks
If your offended by this idc money is not an issue to me grown men pocket watching. Can’t sell this abused xtx for $900 on private sale. In reality it would be $300 private sale if i wanted to let go it it fast and yet I’d still sit on it for months.
