2k budget and a 4080... I lol'd
who told your friend he needs a 4080? nvidia is garbage and the only card you should consider from them is the 4090. everything else is clown shoes. my 3080 aged like milk almost completely irrelevant only 3 years after release. being out benched by 6800xt and up in many applications.
if your friend is going with an AMD chipset he should get an amd gpu as well this will allow features like SAM and resize bar. he should be looking at the 7800xt for 500$, 6800xt, 6900xt, 6950xt, 7900xt, 7900xtx.
Just because a card outperforms your 3080, doesn’t make it irrelevant. You don’t need the top bench score to have a good experience. People care too much about test numbers
