I currently have a gtx 1080.

I'm looking at upgrading to a 2080ti or maybe even a 3090 as the 3090s are just a few hundred more than the 2080 and is a biiiiiiig performance jump up according to the shit I've been watching.

Is it worth it? the 1080 is becoming obsolete. I have a 4k monitor but play my games at 1440p because the 1080 (as well as just about anything else except maybe the 3090, but even it can't get 60fps doing 4k on maxed out settings for these high-end games I want to play. But at 1440p the 3090 or maybe even the 2080 or 2080ti would be enough.

Or is there an AMD option that is much better than the 1080 but cheaper than the Nvidia options? I don't know shit about AMD cards.

Prices are fucking absurd right now for both nvidia and AMD cards, and probably won't go back to normal until next year at least. Like what YoureJewish said, you'll have to be extremely lucky to find a new one at the standard MSRP. Stick with the GTX 1080, it's still a solid GPU.

Just out of curiosity, what games are you playing that you want to have running at 4k/60fps? And what is the rest of your computer's specs?

I don't actually want to play games at 4k. The specs needed to achieve 60fps at 4k playing Rust or Insurgency: sandstorm or even World Of Tanks are too demanding for my gpu I think. I don't think it's a cpu issue but I do think it is a GPU issue, and maybe even possibly be that I need more RAM.

Is World of tanks is still going strong?

That's the last game I played before giving up TV and gaming altogether, had some great times with the old clan on there.

Yeah, I think so. Great game. World of Warships too.

You can try creating a custom resolution like 3200x1800 and see how that goes. It won't be as demanding as 4k and will look better than 1440p. I think for Rust you should probably stick to 1440p but for those other 2 games you listed you can probably get 60fps at 1800p.

I saw your other comment on your computer specs, and judging by the hardware I recommend you wait until next year to do a full upgrade. If you got the shekels I recommend getting a 1440p/100Hz display or better as well. For online games, high refresh rate displays are far better than higher resolution ones.
