i have a question, is it worth upgradingfrom a rtx 5060 to a rtx 5080 in terms of performance and cost, or should i stick with the rtx 5060 for now? (my CPU is a ryzen 9 5950x and i dont think i´ll be upgrading anytime soon) tanks :)

Do you play in 4K?

It may be justified. Borderline.

It is a giant leap in performance over 5060 but terrible FPS per dollar in the current climate.

Worth it to me, not at all. Worth it to someone else, absolutely. Depends on what you want and how bad you want it.

Depends on how you personally see it.
I bought a 5080 (from a 4070). Is it the most cost effective GPU? No
Could I afford it and only cared about performance? Yes.
If you value frames, get it.
If you value money, don't.

A large boost sure, but not worth it IMO. Not unless you play at 4k or maybe 1440 ultrawide, and certainly not at these prices.

The 5080 is 15% faster than the 5070TI or 9070XT, it's a lot higher in price, quite often near/over double the 9070XT.

It's a very bad time. The MSRP of the 5080 is $1000, good luck finding one for that price
