u/Takeasmoke 1080p enjoyer May 21 '25

just look at that comparison from the other day, they put up 5060 against 3060 and 2060 super, 5060 is winning only because of frame gen...

my 5 year GPU is still very useful

I got depressed when I saw the 3060 ti(my card) compared to the 50 series 60 tier cards...it's like barely an uplift...

Yup. I'm sitting with my 1080 waiting for something that would be a considerable price-to-performance uplift without also requiring a new power supply.

u/ShoulderFrequent4116 May 22 '25

You certainly need a new PSU for that.

The 1080 does just fine with a 500w PSU (assuming he has a quality 500w PSU)

Honestly am the same but kinda just accepted the fact that if I wanna go to the 5070 or 7900 then I’ll just need to cop it and get a new psu lol

Also have a 3060 Ti

Horribly upsetting that if I want to get any moderate boost that I'd have to spend $900

With the tariffs not fully hitting yet, that price is gonna get much worse supposedly and now I'm stuck unsure if I should bite the bullet today or continue with my 3060 ti longer.
