    It generally makes little sense to compare raw specs like bus width between cards. If anything look at memory bus bandwidth, which is a combination of bus width x clock speed. However that's just one aspect of a cards performance. If you want to compare performance, look at performance (i.e. benchmarks). You can already see for which games it is faster and which it isn't.
     
    Screen resolution is largely irrelevant in terms on memory usage, what does matter is texture resolution. The 4070 should handle games that require more VRAM a bit better than the 10 GB variant of the 3080. Having higher bandwidth should play a bigger role the more data needs to be processed each frame, but this depends a lot on how a game's engine works, so comparing benchmarks is the best option.

    The realistic performance difference between the 3080 and 4070 is what you see in benchmarks at those higher resolutions

    What is important in 99% of situations is bandwidth and latency. Bandwidth = Bus width * Clock speed.
    You drop buswidth, and raise clockspeed by the same ratio, bandwith remains static.

    Not to say bus width does not mater, but its ONE factor that only means anything when taking into account the other factors.  

    So long as the ram is able to feed data to the core with minimal interruptions, the bandwidth is fast enough, and going faster no longer does increases frames per second as the internal bottleneck elsewhere become more relevant to the overall average frame times. Given that the 4070 does not compute faster then the 3080, there is little reason to spend the money increasing bandwidth over the 3080 by keeping the same buswidth when faster clocked ram is cheaper way to get to the desired bandwidth

    What @Zando_but no ISO needed, MS has a tool for making a bootable USB stick installer for Windows 10 or 11 that just takes a few clicks.

    Yep. Copy over everything you wanna keep to those other drives, then make sure they are unplugged so you don't accidentally format. That's how I have done it, and plan to do it when I rebuild my PC coming up here soon, it's the best method if you're keeping data drives. 
     
    Also congrats! That's gonna be a hell of an upgrade, current Ryzens are very nice chips.

    OP probably got confused because the production value of our PC build videos is so amazing he thought he was at the cinema watching the latest James Cameron blockbuster.
     
    Understandable mistake.
