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.

Honestly the presentation was very underwhelming. Improvements in raster seem fairly small and don't warrant an upgrade. DLSS still lacks in visual quality and has annoying artifacts, and I worry that the industry will use it as an excuse to release poorly optimised games. Counting DLSS frames as part of the frame count is just misleading.

NVENC is cool, but I don't use that often enough for it to be a selling point to me.

I've been enjoying the memes about the presentation though, because what the fuck was that mess.

I absolutely hate DLSS for the artifacts, I'd honestly rather lower resolution and quality to achieve a good framerate at this point.
