Is the RTX 3080 too much for POE?

Currently playing on a Ryzen 2700X (@4.2ghz) with a GTX 1080 @ 2560x1440 (@144hz max... which I never reach!), thinking of buying a 3080 to hopefully play that 2k resolution with near 144fps... Am I dreaming, could it be achieved? Would the 3080 be too much?

Your money. You can do with it what you will.

2080 is already more than enough for PoE, so long as there isn't any bottle-necking elsewhere in the system. But if you've got the funds, get what you want.

yes it's too much unless you want to play in 8k or something - unless u are playing a ton of triple AAA titles i think the 3080 is probably a little much. It might make more sense ot just buy an XBox Series X and don't bother upgrading your current PC

The 3080 is supposedly as good or better then the 2080 ti ya?

With my 2080 ti, I can reach my 180 fps cap in 3440x1440, and depending on how cluttered the map and fight is it can dip down to around 100 fps. So the 3080 might be slightly more then you need, BUT if you want one it isn't really a waste.

I think I'm going all in on the 3090 because whyyyyyyy notttttttttt

life is short buy and use

Why would it be too much? You don't buy it just to play poe, right?

The 3070 supposedly is. The 3080? Supposedly much better.

I already get close to 144 fps on 2k resolution with a 2080, I'm gonna buy the 3080 and hope to always get 144 fps on 2k resolution on it and every game I ever play from now on. Which was part of the reason I bought the 2080 but... life marches on without me

I play on 9700k 1080 gpu with 1080p and fps goes down on fights - 4133 ram. It can be seen from time to time with g-sync. I dont think 3080 will make 144fps at 1080p all time.

So no, imo 3080 is not too much.

A bit chat:
I have 1500$ prepared for newest GPU but I am not convinced this days to go for 3090 - decision will come with Cyberpunk fps tests. 3080 for sure. Around time of Cyberpunk release should be known what AMD brings so hopefuly price can drop a bit. Also next year most probably will be refresh of 3080 so there is a chance I will buy that one later too. Main reason why not to buy 3090 is its lost 1/3 of price if selling on bazar, meanwhile 3080 should lost around 1/4 of its value. Also it seems 3090 is for more creative people than just players and if it will have lets say 25% more fps than 3080 for 800$, than I think PS5 or buy something for family members would work better for me.
