I can literally run most modern games still on a 1080Ti, if you are getting 3060 levels of performance at a much better price, sign me the fuck up.

The price is comparable to a 5060, the domestic design is the neat part.

nvidia's 50 series is the ai bullshit ones anyway right? i probably wouldn't take one if it was free

My 1060 6GB yearns for retirement but I'm gonna keep playing modern games on it until it kills itself given the average cost of any upgrade

yeah but how does that 1080Ti run if you smoke a lot of weed near it? checkmate, liberal smuglord

Nah, I paint an American flag on my PC, keeps gay thoughts out of my hard drive, should work for weed too.

As I said, pretty well.

i don't pay attention to the industry anymore but if you're running 1080p 60hz you'll probably be good on an old card for a while and the main benefits to more power are high res or refresh rate

Correct. It's my other core components that are usually the issue at this point. That doesn't mean I am not looking at things for the future lol.

I'm running a 1070Ti. I play BG3, Bioshock, and couple of others and it's been great for me.
