I have a 2070, which is similar in performance to the 1080.

I've not yet encountered a situation where the GPU was the cause of the drop below 60fps.

It was either a CPU issue (doing excessive stuff in simulation-heavy games) or a developer issue (not even the most powerful GPU could handle such bad optimization)

That's why Nvidia is coming up with bullshit technology like DLSS to justify selling new GPUs. You don't need that much power to play games nowadays. A GTX-1080 is good enough for gaming, even in 2026.
