But what about the extra 2-year warranty 5080 is giving?

I really hope they launch a 24 GB 5080 variant using 3GB GDDR7 dies at some point, that would make a 5080 actually worth it unlike now.

5080 card's potential is always locked behind 16 gb vram. 5070 ti card is more suited for 16 gb vram and hence for this reason and the cost difference, it is logical to choose 5070 ti.
