Same, I’ve been saying I’ll upgrade when the prices become sane since shortly before the asteroid hit and killed off the dinosaurs.
But, it’s amazing how well the 1080 has aged. I can still play most of the games I want to at 1440p while still keeping the frame rate at at least 60 fps average, and only rarely dipping below 40. Admittedly, I sometimes do have to turn down the graphics settings, but not so they’re immersionly-breakingly-bad.
My next card will definitely be AMD, but I want to make it a good one. So, I’m annoyed that the 9000 series didn’t even have an “enthusiast” tier.
That I agree. I’m eyeing for AMD cards for some time too, especially after Nvidia stopped updating drivers for 10xx series. However if I sell 1080, it can barely cover something similar from AMD, so I’ll wait longer it seems since I want this to be an actual upgrade.
1080 but no ti.
