Three months ago, Daniel Owen, a big asset to our community, did a great breakdown of the 5070 Ti and 5080 from a value position standpoint. He did a bunch of benchmarks and averaged out the uplift to the 5080, and these benchmarks did include Path Tracing. The average of the benchmarks showed an average of 14 percent uplift (the 4K-only benches filtered out also had a 14% uplift) with a range of 4% to 21% uplift.

The lowest prices on PCPartPicker for the cards at the time he made the video?

5080 $1800

5070 Ti $1450

That's 24% more money for the 5080 for 14% performance uplift.

He surmised the 5070 Ti was a better value at that moment than the 5080. And acknowledged that for some use cases the more powerful card will in some cases get some users into a specific desired target, though that target could also often be achieved with some mild settings downgrades on the lesser card.

So, where are we three months later?

The current lowest prices between PCPartPicker and NowInStock (I'm not including the Founder's Edition lottery, of which I don't have a single friend who has won, and I've been in that lottery for months myself).

5080 $1400

5070 Ti $837

I'm leaving out Micro Center where you might save single digits in price, because many people don't have a Micro Center nearby.

So yeah, that's 67% more money for the 14% average uplift.

That's worth considering. I'm seeing a lot of posts around Reddit and other socials that it's a great time to get a 5080 because "the price is down". But is it really? Is this price performance difference something that hardly anyone should be ignoring at this point?

Buy what you want, but buy informed.
