I guess it just depends on what you want to do. Training AI? Probably better off renting computer at this point. Everyday use? I still have a 1070 in my main workstation that has survived three computer upgrades. I am looking to upgrade, but I’m not in a hurry.

The 1070/1080 are absolute champions of longevity if using a GPU... for graphics/gaming. I still have a gaming machine with my old 1080ti from 2017 in the house, for the most part it will play most of the latest games like Cyberpunk (albeit with no raytracing, but heyho) at 1080p/1440p at good frame rates. Every year that passes now I genuinely marvel at the useful lifespans of those parts, which has been completely unprecedented for me as someone who has been building gaming PCs since the 90s. The MacBook Pro I bought in the same year is officially classed as "obsolete" by Apple.
