My 1080 Ti has been a legend and has carried my last two builds. That 11 GB of VRAM was huge back in 2017 and certainly helped it to remain relevant over the years, particularly since we’ve seen newer cards with much stronger GPUs and less VRAM struggle lately due to being VRAM limited.
I finally replaced it with a 9070 XT earlier this year, and while this thing buries it in performance and features, I’m questioning if it will see the same kind of longevity my 1080 Ti had since I’ve a feeling that its 16 GB of VRAM will eventually be what obsoletes it first.
I think the 9070 XT will be fine if you’re not on 4K for another 5 years (if not more).
I am on a 3080 and I am planning to stick with it for a new (Zen 6/AM5) build next year. It does all I need it to. I am much more CPU-bound for games and other stuff I do on my PC.
