I'm buying whatever the top end card is in the spring whenever they release, whether it's a 3080 or 3080Ti. If rumors suggest that the 3080Ti is releasing VERY soon after, I'll get that. Otherwise, I'm buying whatever the top dog is at the time. I'm tired of waiting to upgrade from my 1080Ti Strix.

Well there's really hardly anything to upgrade to. 2080 Super is barely an upgrade over the 1080 Ti. If I were you I'd just be happy that you got so much use of the 1080 Ti without being very far behind the curve.
If next gen is like last gen then 3080 might only be 5% faster than the 2080 Ti, but assuming it's sold at the $800 price point at least it would finally be a worthy upgrade to the 1080 Ti.

I know there isn't much to upgrade to, that's why I waited.
The only upgrade has been a 2080TI, but I never felt the cost vs performance was justified. We all have our own opinions on that. The 1080Ti is an amazing card, so of course I've been happy with it. After moving to 4k gaming, it's outlived it's usefulness, sadly.
Start using in game scaling options.
Or, Nvidia's CP now has one built in for games that don't.
So rather than 4k you're going to have to settle for somewhere in between 1440p and 4k, depending on game.
That's basically your only option until you're ready to upgrade.

Right, that's what I've been doing (1440P on my Sony 900F).
It wasn't a big deal the past year since it gave me a chance to buy a PS4 and play all the exclusives. But now I'm back to PC gaming and had to settle at 1440.

It looks and runs significantly better at 1440P than it does at 4k with half the settings off or down. The only obvious difference is a noticeable decrease in texture sharpness.

You may have to wait until Q4 of 2020 to get it if nV releases a 3080 only in the spring.

Compete with 2080 I can see. 3080? Not holding my breath.
you would think when it comes to MCM AMD would have huge advantage over NV since they have been doing it with Ryzen for almost 3 years now and APU's even longer
they just need to glue together 2,3 or more 7nm GPU's chiplets instead of CPU's chiplets or a CPU and a GPU

AMD is terrible at GPU competition, when they do compete it's usually a long time after Nvidia released their stuff, and Nvidia is already about to release the next one.

I'm staying hopeful they can pull off a surprise in the same way the CPU division has.

I feel this only really became the case starting with Bulldozer when the GPU division was raided to keep the CPU division afloat. If we drop back to the 290X even, back at the end of 2013, it was competitive with Nvidia's GPUs. After that Fury was barely competitive with the 980 Ti, and then Vega basically bombed (late and power hungry).
But you can see how that lines up, with Ryzen not coming out until 2017, and AMD just limping along most of the time between 2013 and then. So based on that, I think AMD can be more competitive. It's just that at this point they have a lot of ground to make up.

I hope so because Nvidia with little competition is as bad as intel.

Indeed.
