Is it worth upgrading to RX 9070 XT from RTX 3080 10 GB now

I bought a 2160p ultrawide monitor. My current RTX 3080 10 GB is struggling at this resolution (previously i had 1440p ultrawide and it was fine for that). I'm thinking of upgrading to RX 9070XT, since it's 37% faster in 4K (74 vs 54 FPS in 4K according to Hardware Unboxed testing). Other options (5070 Ti or 5080) are not viable since those cards are way overpriced in Australia. In your opinion does this performance increase justifies spending $1K AUD for 9070 XT? Normally I would wait for next gen, but with current hardware situation there likely be delays, stock shortage and unreasonable pricing.

Forgot to mention: another benefit of 9070 XT is 16 GB of memory, and i already hit the limit of 10 GB (in Diablo 4 for example).

Update: thank you all for your wisdom! All people said YES (without exception!) so I went ahead and bought ASUS Prime model for AUD $899 with free shipping. I think i can easily sell my 3080 for about AUD $400-$500.

Recently I've been asked to review PRs from colleagues in my company that were AI generated: those colleagues are bioinformaticians Python/R developers and they started submitting PRs to web repository (Vue.js) with help of Claude Code. These colleagues have no experience with JavaScript or web development, so they do not understand the code AI generated for them.

I reviewed and debugged a couple of those PR yesterday I had a sleepless night because of it. I could not sleep because I was thinking "what am I doing?". So I made a decision that from now on I will refuse reviewing vibe coded PRs in my company. If those colleagues want to work on web code and develop new skills I 100% support it. But I don't want to spend my time debugging AI code from a person who does not understand it themselves.

I'm probably not alone in this (please let me know if you had similar requests at work). This will probably become a common issues as time goes on. I think that in this early stage we need to set boundaries at work and let our leadership understand that this is not allowed.
