which is better

If I just want to video edit what is the best card gpu I can get for $1,000 us before tax? Was thinking 4080 or one of the new 5000 cards.

The upcoming RXT 5080 is $1000 MSRP, but who knows if it will be possible for a regular customer to find them at that price.

Wait until the 5080 launches next week.

Pick up a used 4080.

Maybe at 2026 / 2027

I was originally thinking that just didn't know how big of a bump up it would be to go with the 5080 over the 4080. Like if it was worth it or not. I mainly want something that I know will last a few years before I replace stuff.

We dont know yet.  The 5080 hasn't launched or had any reviews and we definitely can't take Nvidia's word on it.

Review Embargo is next week

That's up to you dude. If you're a crybaby going "ugh why can't I do 4K Ultra 240fps?!?" then you'll never be happy.

 

I have an RTX 2080 Ti which launched September 2018 and I'm still happy with its performance. Sure, I can't do 4K Ultra/High on every game, but I am perfectly happy with 4K Medium/Good settings as long as I can hit a stable 120fps.
