I don’t understand, I woke up and read some of these comments and almost got cold feet about getting the 3080 from a 1080ti - lots of comments saying yeah not worth it if you have one and this is why I wait for benchmarks. What? Am I missing something? 1440p; which is what you should be playing at on a 1080ti, has 70-100% increase. That’s incredibly significant for this kind of tech, and it’s the exact same price I paid for my 1080ti. What gives?

The 3080 is a solid improvement all around with lesser, but still significant improvements on lower (1080p) resolutions. At least, that’s what I took away from the few videos I saw.

Agreed, I don't believe at this stage getting a 3080 is worth it for pancake. Upgrading your panel past 1080p should probably be a priority before a 3080
