I can't imagine this being a problem within 2 years (definitely new generation by then with lots more ram and smaller process). 3-4 years is probably safe too but getting harder to predict. If you are at a 1-2 year upgrade cycle anyway, there's no reason not to get the 3080, if you need/want the performance that is.
Can we clear up compression once and for all? I seem to remember the 980 or possibly the 1080 had a compression scheme that suddenly improved bandwidth but that's not what we're talking about here? I see tons of people making outrageous claims about this new memory acting like twice the amount. Even I understand that that's bunk, but has there been any real reduction whatsoever of the actual space assets take up while in GPU RAM, and is that even possible?
