Leaving aside that you gave away your 2080Ti, this approach only works (for those who haven't given away their current card) if your current card can cope with the variety of games you wish to play (at your desired image quality settings). I managed to keep two 780's for 7 years but they became noisier & noisier as they struggled with later games with my 1440 screen. Cyberpunk 2070, I haven't bought this game yet as I wait for new games to be half-price or cheaper (Star Wars Squadrons now on sale at Steam £13.99, was £34.99) but if you want to play the newer games at 1440 or more then GPU horsepower is what you need unless you are willing to compromise on quality. And yes, DLSS 2 is apparently a useful step forward but still a compromise compared to RT.
And my mind cleared up too, i was like trapped within the gaming industry. So thank you miners for freeing me up.

Not yours, those that are parked in farm of course...
Well you won't be getting my Asus Rog Strix 3080 OC LOL! And most of those who have been able to buy 3080's & 3070's might not want the aggro or circs connected with their GPU purchases. My gaming system was 7 years old (including two 780's) and it suited me to buy a new one therefore. I plan to upgrade my 3080 in 4 years, not before.

All we can do is wait and see and hope the mining bs goes away or dies down. Currently in Canada the cheapest card is the 3060 which is out of stock and it costs as much as I payed for my 1080 which I just can't stomach.
I admire your confidence, who says the next gen won't be just as scare & expensive?

My ASUS Rog Strix 3080 OC runs my PG35VQ monitor very nicely, Metro Exodus with RT (no DLSS) & max quality settings is a fantastic experience. Looking forward to playing the new enhanced version in due course.
