Anyone own a PC with an RTX 3080/3070? How much did you spend?

[Yuval Levy]

That's what I'm telling you. It's not an extra 2-3 fps. It's an extra +10.8 fps (+9.7%) average across their 9 tested games. This is the difference between 60fps vs. 54fps, or 144fps vs. 131fps.

I wouldn't dispute that the 3060 Ti is a better value, though there are many ways to evaluate that, and the $300-$400 cards almost always offer the best bang-for-your-buck. I leave that to the buyer to assess for himself. I'm simply pointing out one should inform that decision with an accurate comparison of relative power.

Call me old fashioned, but I'm happy with 1080p

In that case, the 3060 Ti is all the more attractive to you. Only a few of the most demanding games in existence struggle to hold minimums above 60fps on the highest settings. These will increase as the card ages, but even the 3060 Ti is arguably overkill at 1080p.

Not that it matters. You can't buy anything. You can't even buy old cards.

I spent about 3k. 500$ was on pretty lights.. FML that was a dumb purchase.

I built a new PC last year for 1.3k but kept my gtx 1070. Then managed to snag a 3070FE for 499 at launch.

Just thought I'd give it a shot for like half an hour and got to check out after like 30 tries. Wasn't even sure if I should keep it, but luckily did. Didn't think the whole GPU situation would get this crazy back then.
