I’ve noticed that the RTX 5080 has been surrounded by some controversy regarding its performance, especially since it doesn’t seem to outdo the 4090 in raw power. I’m debating whether to buy it now despite its issues or to wait for a potential ‘super’ version or even the next generation of cards. What do you think?

Before jumping into a purchase, think about your current needs. Do you truly require better graphics performance? Would a cheaper card, like the 9070XT or 5070TI, meet your gaming requirements? Weigh the potential woes that come with the 50 series. Only you can decide if the upgrade is worth it and which model fits your needs best.

I get what you’re saying about needing to make the right investment. Here in Brazil, the 5080 costs over 10 months’ worth of minimum wage, while the 4090 is a bit less. Makes you think if it’s a worthwhile generation to invest in.
