it is 2019, the 2060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2020, the 3060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2023, the 4060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2025, the 5060ti has 8gb of vram.
My 3060 has 12gb of vram...
You probably have to return the 4gb extra then.
My 1080 from 2017 has 8gb of vram. Still works fine.
If you play games that weren't released after 2022, sure.
Regular GTX 1080 here. Running Space Marine 2 at 60 fps on 1080p on mid-ish settings. And that's basically the most graphics-intensive games I've played recently. Games like Total Warhammer 3, Dark Deity 2, Factorio or Heroes of the Storm don't care about the GPU and play great at 1080p.
Speaking of, what is the next best cost-efficient GOAT in the generations that followed the GTX 10 series? I'm gonna be needing a new GOAT at some point in the future - would love to hear recommendations.
I'm also interested in the answer to this; as a fellow 1080p gamer, a quick research had me hovering around an Intel A770, the only one offering 16gb at my target price of around €300, but I'm open to suggestions.
you can absolutely run newer titles with a 1080/1080ti. maybe not at 4k max settings, but a little bit of compromise should easily get at least 60fps in most titles.
1080 is likely the all around goat in graphics card history
I am pretty sure you can run Animal Well, at 4k max. It came out last year also.
I was assuming the commenter I replied to was talking about unoptimized AAA games that overly rely on on DLSS.
animal well looks cool tho I'll have to check it out! love the art style.
I don't buy AAA, that much anymore. Also, you can play roms, build, play arcade, gamble, list goes on for this game.
