    Just like I rode my 1080ti for a long time it looks like I’ll be running my 3080 for awhile lol.

    I hope in a few years when I’m actually ready to upgrade that the GPU market isn’t so dire… All signs are pointing to no unfortunately.

      Same here.

      Only upgraded when my 1080 died, so I snagged a 3080 for an OK price. Not buying a new card untill this one dies. Nvidia can get bent.

      Maybe team red next time….

        I’m extremely petty and swore off Nvidia for turning off my shadow play unless I made an account for my 660, had to downgrade my driver to get it back without an account. I only have an Nvidia card now because I got a 3080ti for free after my rx 580 died.

          Fuck yeah man, I love that conviction. If only everyone were so inclined, the world would be a better place.

        1080ti has had the longest useful lifespan of any GPU ever.

        Im still running mine but Im likely to buy a 5090 very soon as Im making the leap to 4k gaming and vr from 2k.

          The 7900 XTX is looking like a pretty good option for a fraction of the price. I think i might go that direction. 24GB also helps future proof it a bit.

            I had a 7900xtx briefly but a fan died and they refunded the card rather than fix the fan.

            They haven’t really been available since then due to stock issues.

            It definitely seemed like the better option than the 4080.
