    I guess once my 2080 croaks I’ll need to find a new hobby. I can’t justify spending double my monthly income on a “mid range” videocard. Not in the least because I need to eat and heat my home.

    Then again, any 50xx could probably be used as a space heater…

      A second hand dGPUs could be an option, or going with Intel dGPUs.

      2080 should still be OK for FHD gaming.

      This might not be what you want to hear, but console gaming. For the price of a GPU you can get a console and load up on games.

        A PS5 Pro costs like 800€ and is significantly slower, more restricted, and can’t be upgraded without shelling out a similar (and rising) amount of money for another console.
