I'm upgrading from a 4770 to a 9600. This is my budget free living room PC build. I'm trying to keep everything even bottleneck wise.

Helldovers is starting to chug like I put water in my cars gas tank. My Gtx1060 is...old.

What GPU should I upgrade to? I was looking at 2080s for around $200.

Does anyone have any better ideas?

The same answer for the last decade, 1080 TI...

2080 is going to be like 8gb vram, which will immediately be an issue.

1080 Ti has 11g , only 1 less gig that the 4070 super...

~~It should support "super sampling" but~~ not all the shitty frame gen you don't want anyways.

It 100% sounds like a joke, but a 1080 TI is strangely still a good card. There's a shit ton of articles and YouTube videos talking about it, so dont just take my word.

You may pay a little more, but a 2080 will immediately hamstring you, a 1080 TI and you'll squeeze a couple more years out of it.

Or just get a 3060 12g so you have DLSS instead of FSR. Makes a huge difference IMO.

Yeah, for some reason I thought 1000 series had dlss 1, but they don't.

I did fantasize about a 1080ti. It would need a very large upgrade for power supply and I'm using a sff power supply. Just mentioning it.

I just checked 1080ti is about $50 less on ebay
