I bought a 1080 quite a while after they launched. I still have it. I have thought about building a new PC lately, and it seems to me that newer cards are ... not as much as an upgrade as I might have been led to believe? Especially given the cost. If I did build a new PC today, I am not entirely sure I would buy a new video card. The performance/value ratio doesn't seem as appealing as jumping to the 1080 did at the time back then.
- tomnipotent 4y agoThe 3080 to 4080 gain is the same as the 980 to 1080 jump (~27%).
- checkyoursudo 4y agoWell that's not too bad maybe. I probably will upgrade sometime relatively soon. It just hasn't seemed as compelling, but that could also be my enthusiasm has waned since I was younger. Hard to know, I guess.
