I'll be honest, this comparison was not what I expected. The battle between a used NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and a brand-new RTX 5060 Ti 16GB should be simple, but it's one of the most complicated GPU choices for under $500 right now. Do you chase the raw rasterization power of a legendary 80-class card, or do you opt for modern efficiency, more VRAM, and a full warranty? The answer is far from clear-cut, and the reality might surprise you. In this deep-dive benchmark, I put the overclocked RTX 3080 vs the overclocked RTX 5060 Ti 16GB head-to-head in 20 of today's newest and most demanding PC games at 1440p. We're looking at everything from Battlefield 6 and Black Myth: Wukong to Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 to see which card gives you the better experience for your money. We'll analyze the raw data, including average FPS, 1% lows, power consumption, and even ray tracing performance to see where each GPU shines. So, if you're trying to build the best possible 1440p gaming PC on a budget and are stuck between buying new or risking the used market, this video has the data you need to make the right choice.
