I was looking at my parts on pc part picker and I saw that the Asus rog 3070 ti OC was around 1200 which I thought was really expensive for an rtx 3070 ti so I looked for build guides and saw that and I saw that a Zotac RTX 3080 was around the same price but some people didn't like it so I decided to look for team red GPU's and to my luck I have found a 6800XT for less than that (MSI gaming trio) BUT I don't know if it performs better than a 3080 so that's why im asking here, if you have other suggestions for cards let me know! 

Thanks.

Do you plan to play at 1080 or 1440p? 6800xt.

Do you plan to play at 4k? 3080.

Do you plan to use CUDA or RTX cores? If yes 3080, if no, 6800xt.

 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

All of the resolutions above actually

as far as rtx goes I don’t know if it’s that essential 

 

1080p for the far left monitor with 240hz, 1440p for left and right monitors and 4k for middle monitor and the TV

It's a fancy lighting effect, there are comparison videos online.

 

But if 4K in big titles will be a thing you do, the 8GB VRAM eliminates the 3070ti and puts the 10GB 3080 in a very difficult situation

i dont think rtx should be a deciding factor here after all, it just makes things more shiny (if thats your thing, get a glossy screen 😅)

 

well and a 3080 "around the same price as a 3070ti"  should be a no brainer, but considering they're probably both massively overpriced … 🤷‍♂️

 

well "1200" for a 3080 sounds actually  not too bad.
