I will probably be buying a 9070 XT to replace my 3080. I don’t need to be sold on its capabilities.
It is categorically not beating a 5080. It does however go toe to toe with the 5070 ti.
I went from RTX 3080 to RX 9070 XT and it's a huge upgrade. I didn't quite expect it to be this large. I know it's not beating RTX 5080 in all of them there are some and some where it's very close. Which is crazy considering the 600-800€ gap that it had back then. It has now fallen to "just" 400€ gap, but I can't justify a whole low-mid end graphic card value for few more frames. It's insane.
That's the exact upgrade I made. Totally worth it, and I get to ditch Nvidia finally.
