Question A 3080 to play at 1080p, overkill?

[spardason]

Hello, si i was wondering if a 3080 is too much to play at 1080p, i have a 27 inches, 144 mhz monitor and i dont feel like buying another soon, is that GPU too much for that resolution? because i've noticed some extremely demanding games lately, please advice me, my current gpu is a 6700xt

Yeah, you're overdoing it with that GPU on that resolution. A new larger resolution panel would be in my list of to-buy to stretch that card's legs.

This table will give you a general idea you would have to try to find the games you actually play in benchmark tests to know for sure.

I guess it depends on how close your current GPU can get to the 144 in games you play.

What's your PC specs including psu, board, cpu, ram, etc ...

6700xt is overkill for 1080p. 3080 is massive overkill for 1080p. As someone who’s owned both cards, buy yourself a 1440p 27 inch monitor, save the rest of your cash and pick up something like a 4070ti later.

I owned the 6700xt and it’s fine for 1440p. I just got money at Christmas and got a good deal for a 3080. I will say if you are looking at used I’ve seen some 3080s for about 500 on eBay lately. But a bigger graphics upgrade for you at the moment would be 1440p.

Nobody knows the OP's specs. He could be using a 2500K for all we know.

Well, I guess I'd have to admit, I use the 3080ti now and I also play at 1080p in a window, I use to play every game I could at 3440x1440, but I just like being able to drag my mouse out of the game without tabbing out, Windowed fullscreen I quite using, too many games can't seem to get that right so I just don't even try, but yeah the 3080 will be a little overkill for 1080p but if you need or want high fps, well why not.

1080P 3070 or 3070TI will be fine.
