IS 10GB ENOUGH? 3080 or 6800xt ?

I have not seen my 5700 use it's full 8GB on 1440-4k.

Depends on the game. My 5700XT exceeds 8GB used in Breakpoint when at max settings. Have to drop down the shadows by 1 level for the game to not crash in certain areas.

Sorry, 6.7GHz. https://hwbot.org/benchmark/hwbot_x265_benchmark_-_1080p/rankings?start=32&cores=6#start=32#interval=20

 

EDIT: He also switched from air cooling to watercooling and added a mild overclock after I originally posted this link, but he only went up 1 position by doing so.

Why? 240hz is a gimmick, past 165hz the frametime windows becomes too narrow to be meaningfully perceptible so any 1440p165hz panel is a better purchase for the money, you'll even be getting IPS or VA for better image quality on top of it.

 

If you still want 240hz no matter what because CSGO and what not then yeah get a 3070 and put all your money into a CPU and memory config to push that many frames. You know i7/i9 or this new Ryzen releasing soon.

360hz is a gimmick.  240hz is actually useful.  165 to 240hz is more noticeable than 144hz to 165hz.  And 240hz strobed with vsync on or FPS capped to 240 fps (Motion blur reduction) is better at keeping the monitor from dropping frames when moving the mouse fast, than 165hz is.  (this is a very easy test to do if you have a monitor capable of both 60hz (single strobe) and 165hz strobing--then you can test this at 60hz, 120hz and 165hz and compare how fast you need to move the mouse for "frames" to start dropping in smoothness.  Unfortunately, only overclocked original "Z" series Benq monitors (144hz overclocked to 165) are capable of 60hz single strobe--all of the newer Benqs double strobe at 60-85hz.

I'll accept the compromise, being honest!

Appreciate the reply as a whole, I'm usually less pick there and more image orientated hehe but I understand it perfectly, cheers!
