Is there any GPU that stands out to guys as a giod value, or do you believe that everybody should skip them?

I'm liking the 5070 Ti with 16GB 256-bit transfer speed 896 GB/s for $750USD. The 5080 for $1000USD has 16GB 256-bit for 960 GB/s. I don't see value for the extra $250.

The both have 2x 9th Gen NVENC encoder. The 5080 has 2x 6th Gen decoder, 5070 Ti has 1x 6th Gen decoder. I can use that for OBS recording while watching other videos.

I don't think a 6090 or future card will be enough for 4k without some short of DLSS or frame generation shenanigans, because by the time those cards releases, graphics would have "evolved" to a point where they will be, once again, no longer enough. The eternal obsolescence cycle...

I prefer the FE because is the only 2 slots card that will be available at launch and I don't have the need for the extra fans and size. FE are normally on par, if not better than they AIB counterpart as long as you stick to air cooled.
