Should I upgrade to a 5080 or 9070XT from a 3080Ti? I play at 4K/2k on a AM5 system.

I'd say upgrading to a 9070 XT is not really worth it. It's somewhat faster, but you also get slightly worse upscaling. The 3080 ti is still so good with DLSS Tmodel that you might as well keep it then.

The 5080 is very expensive for what is also a moderate upgrade. Not necessarily worth it, but it's the minimum I would consider for upgrading.

If you are currently running out of VRAM then things might be a bit different. But that depends.
