Right, but a 3080 is about the same as a 4070 and the main advantage the 4070 has besides being more energy efficient is frame generation. The 3080 is a powerful card that happens to not support newer software enhancements which I suspect is intentional, and it had all the performance that I personally needed but it's locked out by design, again my suspicion. I just upgraded from a 3080 to a 4090 (arguably the best 4000 series value besides maybe the 4070) because I saw the writing on the wall where if you don't have upscaling along with frame generation (fake frames), which I call the combo "fakescaling", you're not going to have a good time going forward. Games are being made in UE5 engine without the optimization that you find in fortnite which would have made the 3080 run great in Immortals of Upscaling, I mean Aveum. So the only way the 3080 being 3 years old is a problem is that game designers or publishers or whoever is to blame are leaning heavily on the latest nvidia software enhancements so they can do less optimization so they can get the game out the door as fast as possible for maximum profits. So you're not wrong, but saying the problem is the 3080 being 3 years old isn't entirely right either. The problem is that the 3080 is locked out by nvidia combined with the greed of whoever's responsible for Immortals of Upscaling, I mean Aveum, being unoptimized.
