Nvidia did a great job releasing their new RTX 3080 today lmao. Guess I'll just blow my money on a used GTX 1080 Ti to replace my GTX 1070 and possibly even a better monitor. Such a huge corporation lets massive amounts of bots to ruin our experience!

I use a 970 that I used for mining (and is not really useful for mining anymore), my other PC has a 780 - still good enough for Metro Exodus.
I would have used one of the 1070s I have instead of the 970, but I have to get the DP->VGA adapter working since those cards do not have native analog outputs.
I can wait some months, I am in no rush to buy something to pay too much for it. I won't die if I don't get a new video card right now, even if there was a game I wanted to play and it did not run on the cards that I have.

My first gaming video card was a 3dfx Voodoo 2, but yeah, I regret selling it too. Some old games work better with a 3dfx card (though, I guess, I could just buy one one ebay).
I have a few 970s (I got them relatively cheap for their hashrate at the time). The game I play on a 970 is Borderlands 3, it runs fairly well and the 9xx series are the last video cards to have a native analog output. The newer ones no longer have it and while I have a hih frequency DP->VGA adapter it looks like the adapter requires EDID (information about supported resolutions etc) from the monitor to work, so now I have to build some kind of EDID-injector. However, since I recently resumes mining on my 1070s and RX580s there is no rush
