Upgrading from 1080 to 3060 – is it worth it?
Hello,
I wanted to buy a new graphics card, but my budget is only around €200-250, which is why I'm looking for a used one. As mentioned in the title, I currently have a 1080, which is starting to get a bit tight for me. I just want a graphics card that supports RTX and has at least 60fps at FHD on the highest settings. It would also be cool if it had more than 8GB of VRAM, as I want to have some provision for the near future (about 3 years). Is it worth it? Or does anyone have an alternative?
PS: I have the Ryzen 7 5800x and 32GB DDR4 if needed

Hello,
These requirements do not fit your budget. And the upgrade to the RTX 3060 is not worth it, because the power jump is too low.
From an RTX 4060 in absolute minimum, you can talk about it. An RX 7600XT or RX 6800 are the better choice here. You just have to save a little more.

The upgrade is only worthwhile from an RX6800 for a good Nvidia card you need over 500€ (4070). Your other parts would definitely get clear with the RX 6800. You just have to look with the power supply.
If you mean the 3050 8GB, no that would be almost a downgrade
The 3060 12GB is just about 20% faster, which is not worth a bit
Interesting becomes so with an RX 6800

Okay, thanks, ne 6800 isn’t in
Sell your 1080 for vil 80€. Then take your 250€ and buy an RX 6750XT or if you still have 50€ more then buy an RX 6800. Among them, the cards are barely faster than your current ones.
I would go more on grid power – only if the card should last for 3 years.
A Nvidia card I would not buy, there are mMs no recommended card in the price range below 500€. Only the RTX 4060ti – where only the 16GB version is halfway what deaf – it also costs 440€ +.
RX 6750XT – 329€: https://geizhals.de/xfx-speedster-qick-319-radeon-rx-6750-xt-core-gaming-rx-675xyjfdp-a2754679.html?hloc=at&hloc=de
Okay, thanks a lot, I’ll try. Only it’s stupid to sell the 1080 because I don’t have a replacement card and I can’t use the PC for a time.
You’ll have to accept that. Or go in advance.
Hardly the few FPS are not important enough to justify a change. Must be at least one RTX 4060 TI, ARC 770 or 7600 XT to get a clear jump.
Okay, thanks
Hello!
Then save about 550-650€.
You are currently getting an RTX 4070 super (12GB).
This would be very suitable for very fast zooming at FullHD. This is also an excellent player for your CPU.
And until then, keep the GTX 1080, because this is not even so bad after us.

Sell the 1080 and put the money on your budget
Dür 349 get ne new 4060 ti
All of it would be bullshit.
But also I would not buy this in the 8GB version – only if these 3 years were to be enough. 8GB Vram are too little in some games nowadays. And the 16GB variant costs min. 439€
Yes, the ,16gb version is a little more expensive. Otherwise, AMD would of course still be a possibility.
Yes, I already wrote to him. But here he should say goodbye to Raytracing in three years. They’re just too slow for Raytracing. What he wants is ne RTX 4070 or 4070S at the price of an RX 7600 or RTX 4060…
