plus, i have a 3060. and it's still amazing.

don't feel the need to upgrade at all.

Happy with my used 4070ti super i paid 150 for after trading in my 2080ti. There is nothing to use your gpu on unless youre a kid and haven't seen the pattern of every aaa game bring literally the same game every year.

me neither. best is a 1070. don't play newer 'demanding' games, nor do i have a system 'worthy' of a better card anyway.

Yeah, my 2080ti can run everything sans ray traced stuff perfectly, though I also haven't had any issues with Indiana Jones or Doom: The Dark Ages.

Akschually, Doom DA needs to have raytracing enabled at all times, and your vcard is in the first nvidia gen that has it. While 10xx and 20xx haven't shown much of a difference, and both series are still okay for average gaming, there's the planned divide vcard producers wanted. RTX IS ON ads visuals were fancy at best (imho) while consuming too much resources, and now there's the first game that doesn't function without it, pushing consumers to either updgrade their hardware or miss out on big hits. Not the first time it happened, but it gives a sense why there were a lot of media noise about that technology in the beginning.
