I'm still using that 1080Ti and currently see no reason to upgrade.
FF VII rebirth will require an RTX 20
but I think that's down to lack of optimization
Rebirth also says it requires 12 gigs of vram, my 3080 is crying.

Okay losers, time for you to spend obscene amounts to do your part in funding the terrible shit company nvidia.
Okay loser, so what GPU should we buy then?
A used 2080.
That would be a downgrade for me. And you know, same company...
"Used" is not "same company" because you're not buying from said company.
You still gotta use their shitty NVIDIA experience app (bloated with ads that make NVIDIA money when you open it), and you buying a used NVIDIA card increases demand (and thus prices) on all NVIDIA cards.
If you are a gamer and not doing AI stuff then buying a non-NVIDIA card is entirely an option.
GeForce Experience app is dead thank goodness with no account or sign in required anymore.
Good fucking riddance

Nvidia Core i5.
I think it's going to be a long time before I upgrade my graphics card with these prices.
More Shenanigans. Moooore !
No thanks; I'm good. Still feeling the sting over buying my 4080 Super last spring. Also it's doing me just fine for my work and for games.
I'm waiting for that new Intel gear.
