          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.

        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)

      The more you buy, the more you save!
