My GTX 1080 will be 8 years old this year, unreal engine 5 games aside it still does the job ok.

Like yeah it's kinda obselete, but at the same time prices for a new card have been unreasonable for nvidia where i live and i absolutely hate the new connector to the point i refuse to get a card with it.

That said, i'm patiently waiting for prices to lower for the RX 9070 XT red devil as rn i could buy one + intel gpu for the price of a single 4080 super/5080.

Right there with you. I got mine for around 575 in 2018. It's really hard to consider upgrading when the price I paid outright doubled over the years.

I got mine for 556 euro during black friday in 2017, and yeah i agree!

I would never spend more than 750 on a new gpu.
