What the title says. I can tolerate rather old cards that still constitute a decent upgrade, such as the better 20xx series or amd equivalents and what not. I will buy the proper psu to feed it before I actually buy the card.

At this point you'll be paying 2 times as much for a 2080 Ti vs a $300 9060XT to get worse performance and spend more energy. It is a 7 year old architecture afterall.

I mean, do what want, no judgements here. The 2080 Ti was kind of a beast and it's impressive that it can run stuff as well as it does, but it's also at the level a lot of people would start considering an update. I'd get a newer AMD card with 16GB of RAM
