1080ti vs mid-tier current gen for video editing

[compgeek89]

So I have a 1080ti paired with a TR1950X and 64GB RAM that I use for video editing right now. With the inflated GPU market, my 1080ti is worth more than I paid for it two years ago... I'm considering selling it and attempting to snag a cheaper current gen card when they come in stock to "upgrade" and save money. My question is, will an RTX3060/TI or comparable AMD card be superior to the 1080TI for video editing? I really am having a hard time comparing apples to apples, so I'm interested in any feedback [H] users may have on this. I'm not dissatisfied with my 1080ti, but if there's a good opportunity here, I'd like to take it. Time isn't a huge issue, I can wait a few months to get the new card if needed.

You are looking at paying what you are selling yours for. I have been seeing 2060's go for 600. If you can go without, I'd say sell and wait for the market to return to normal.

I would suggest making sure you could secure a card first. That being said if you want Ray tracing and equal or better performance, you are at minimum looking at a rtx 2080, or 3060ti, maybe 6700 xt pending reviews. The sky is the limit from there.

Just keep the 1080 Ti for now. Think about upgrading to whatever the equivalent of a 1080 Ti is in 2022.

If you are video editing at 4k, the extra memory on the 1080ti can help with stability in some programs.
