December 27, 20223 yr A 2080 would be a nice improvement for 1080p, and it has 8GB VRAM. Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
December 27, 20223 yr Newer generation is always better choice. For 1080p you can easily choose 3060ti with 8gb vram. C. Uygar Aircraft Maint. Engineer. at LTFJ
December 27, 20223 yr Lots of 'price to performance ' comparison articles out there. You need to do some reading and decide what level of performance versus your budget you want. https://www.techspot.com/article/2454-cost-per-frame-best-value-gpu/ [email protected] - ROG Strix Z790-E - 2X16Gb G.Skill Trident DDR5 6400 CL32 - MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X - WD SN850X 2 TB M.2 - XPG S70 Blade 2 TB M.2 - MSI A1000G PCIE5 1000 W 80+ Gold PSU - Liam Li 011 Dynamic Razer case - 58" Panasonic TC-58AX800U 4K - Pico 4 VR HMD - WinWing HOTAS Orion2 MAX - ProFlight Pedals - TrackIR 5 - W11 Pro (Passmark:12574, CPU:63110-Single:4785, GPU:50688)
December 28, 20223 yr I don't know about current availability or price, but 2080's were commanding very high prices not long ago. An RTX 3060 might be a good choice and some of those come with 12 GB of VRAM. Of course, before upgrading, make sure your PSU meets the minimum requirements for a new video card. I highly recommend PSU's that exceed the stated minimum as the 3000 series cards tend to be power hungry and can spike power consumption and fry a minimum spec PSU.

December 28, 20223 yr Like others here I'd skip the 20xx series and get something in the 30xx series I've found a good rule of thumb is if you want to see a measurable performance increase is to at least skip a generation. It makes your investment last a bit longer too. The next thing you might run into is your 8700k limiting you and thus the never ending upgrade process begins...but a 30xx, like a 3060 would do you well.

December 28, 20223 yr Not sure of the OP location, but in the US, the market is flooded with 30XX series cards. I just sold a 3090 FTW3 and it only fetched (net) $775.00. The flood of cards mid summer, plus the 40XX drop, has flat lined the value of 30XX cards.
