Depends on how long he intents to use it, no?Yes, you'll NEVER get close to fully utilizing all the "power" the card has available. No need to spend $700 on a GPU just to have it sit at ~50% usage when you could spend a couple hundred less for the same framerates.
For...If I may ask, are there objective reasons for stating "3080 is overkill for full HD" or did someone important say that and everyone just repeats it? I mean, we had graphics card improvements when full HD was basically the only resolution as well, games just became more complex regarding polygons and whatnot and GPUs had more stuff to do even without the amount of pixels changing. I'm a bit confused why this is apparently now the only thing that matters.
At 1080p the RTX 3070 will be more than enough. If your monitor refresh is less than 120hz. the 3070 is overkill.not planning to get 4K monitor, should I go for 3070? my budget can get me 3080 , but I don't have to buy something I don't utilize it fully.
thanks
not 1080p, i want 2K, with refrsh rate 165hz,At 1080p the RTX 3070 will be more than enough. If your monitor refresh is less than 120hz. the 3070 is overkill.
Ok, you must be talking about 2560 x 1440 which is more correctly termed as WQHD or 1440p.not 1080p, i want 2K
2K is a commonly used term for 1440p. I can't believe you've never seen it before. By your own logic, then, we should all be calling 4K, 2160p, right?Ok, you must be talking about 2560 x 1440 which is more correctly termed as WQHD or 1440p.
I rarely see the term 2k, mostly 1440p, but you're right. My bad.2K is a commonly used term for 1440p. I can't believe you've never seen it before. By your own logic, then, we should all be calling 4K, 2160p, right?

For some reason people are using resolution and refresh rate more than anything these days, when they talk about GPU choice.If I may ask, are there objective reasons for stating "3080 is overkill for full HD" or did someone important say that and everyone just repeats it?

Soooo.
Back to the original question... Will the 3080 be overkill for 2k/1440p/WQHD @165hz? Is anyone able to answer this?
Yeah man. Just go with the 3070 which is plentySoooo.

I have a 1440p 144Hz monitor.
I do not “need” 240Hz.

check this benchmark
just low end or competitive games run over 140fps ...and in a year or twoo new games new graphics...1440p 144hz not that easy ..
This doesn't mean I "need" a 240Hz monitor. I have an Asus PG279Q, it's smooth as butter. Just because a gpu can output high frame rates doesn't mean I need to buy a new monitor. That's not how this works.
You can.I didn't think you could go overkill with a graphics card?
