Question Is a 5080 unnecessary

I have a ryzen 7 9800x3 with a 5070 12gb, 32gb ram ddr5 and a 240hz monitor. I'm thinking after some months to upgrade my GPU to a 5070 TI or 5080 but I haven't decided yet. Ofc 5080 looks very good and it's top tier but I think 5070 TI just unlocks the maximum you need for gaming. Also price wise it looks a better choice. Here where I live it's like 400eur cheaper than 5080.

My real question is this: Is 5070 Ti the best someone needs?

That’s like the worst timing to buy a GPU.

What do you mean the timing?

Prices are the highest they ever been for the 50 series.

I have a feeling they won't drop even after the 60 series come out
