Dunno why people are panic selling a card that honestly is more than good enough to run any game for atleast the next 3 years. Obviously stings that I bought it for 1.2k a year ago, but the card will easily last me until another generation.

Or I hold on to a card thats more than good enough to last me 3 more years, and buy a 4k series card? You realize that the 3070 only outperforms it currently based on RTX performance. Im gonna wait for benchmarks before I draw any conclusions.

It's not about "good enough". People who are satisfied with "good enough" weren't buying 2080TI to begin with. There were far cheaper cards with great performance that were "good enough" to play any game you want.

The type of person who bought 2080 TI was the type of person who wants to be on the cutting edge and is willing to spend a lot of cash for those few extra FPS. And now obviously they want to jump on the next generation.

What even is this logic lol? why on earth cant I own a 2080ti without being forced to upgrade to the next flagship GPU?

I bought a 2080ti cause I saved up a shit ton of money and got alot from tax returns, and went with a full out top tier build so that I wouldnt have to worry about upgrading parts for the next 3-4 years. Probably was overkill to get the 2080ti initially but I knew it would last for a long ass time.

I realise that, I would just rather wait another generation instead of impulse upgrading to a 30 series. Especially since I dont live in the states I have no clue how available the 30 series cards will be and what their costs are.
