      I gave myself a treat and buyed a used 1070ti last month. Before a had the same 960 for like 8 years.

        I had a 980, upgraded to an open box 2080 TI from Micro Center for $800 in 2020. Might save up for an AMD 7900 XTX.

        It’s crazy how much the 10 series can do if you don’t mind 1080p low-med settings. It really was a great value.

          10xx was great.
          I ended up giving my old one away, but I could have resold it for more than I initially paid for, which is completely nuts.

      I thought I made a mistake buying a 2070, but then covid shortages and machine learning chips in the card made it worthwhile. With major warfare on the horizon, now might also be a good time to get one. If Taiwan gets invaded, it might be impossible to upgrade for a while.

        Right!?! Getting a GPU just before prices went nuts was good timing. I also got a nice used car just before used cars went insane mid-covid (certified pre-owned luxury was a good deal for a lot of car for me).

        I’m definitely gonna look into a new GPU within the next month or two now that you mention that aspect. 2080 TI ain’t quite holding up to newer games at 4K

          I’m more interested in getting a new cpu, as I still have 1080p monitors (I’m broke and don’t care about graphics much at this point)
