A 2080 would be a nice improvement for 1080p, and it has 8GB VRAM.

Newer generation is always better choice. For 1080p you can easily choose 3060ti with 8gb vram.

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.

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.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

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.

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.
