vlatkozelka wroteYes I can generalize, I've never lived through a worse time to upgrade than now. When I upgraded from 750Ti to 970, that was and upgrade! And it cost me 300$.
But upgrading to 1080 / 1080 Ti is worthless, so is to an i7 > 4xxx . Of course I'd get boosted performance, but for somewhere around 1600$ ... no that's not an upgrade that is worth it.
An exception, like I said in my first post, are content creators, who will get a good return of investment when their rendering time lowers.
Grab a 1080ti and you will feel how positive this upgrade will be -
A card like the 1080 Ti will also provide longevity—the previous generation 980 Ti still posts similar numbers to a GTX 1070, and it came out in mid-2015. That means the 1080 Ti should still be going strong in 2020, and possibly later if you're willing to tune performance of more demanding games a bit. -PCGamer.
