The counter argument to this is Intel’s B570 which goes for about $300 where I live (full out of pocket price).
That’s not too bad at all. I haven’t had a chance to try Intel’s dGPUs (to evaluate their driver quality), but this does seem to be a compelling option.
Issue is, I need something more powerful. B570 is slower than my 4 years old RTX 3080… I’d pay up to 800€ for RTX 5070Ti, but not 1200. Waiting to see how RX 9070XT works out, but I bet it’ll be around there with performance and price of 1200€ as well. Which is why all of it is stupid.
Some newer games are starting to run slow and I also have 240Hz monitor so I kinda need higher framerate. VRAM is probably slowly becoming and issue too.

But why do you want to change the 3080? Is it because of the VRAM?
