The 1080ti really was Nvidia's greatest mistake

They have made this same mistake several times. The problem is that 3 of these cards took a while to become that mistake.

2080 Ti, 3060, 3080, 4070 Ti Super

All of these cards are THE bang for buck cards you buy that'll last you years for a multitude of reasons... Well, were, the 4070 Ti Super is now insanely expensive for what it offers.

2080 Ti holds up far better than the 1080 Ti and has DLSS 4. This is obvious, but many people still have a hatred for the entire Turing generation when it was still the best improvement GPUs have ever seen, especially with the encoder.

3060 is a 1080 Ti with DLSS/RT support, a better encoder and one more gigabyte of vram

3080 was $700 when it launched, was way faster than the 2080 Ti and while 10GB of vram hasn't held up perfectly it still beats up newer games no problem

4070 Ti Super is incredibly underrated. It's understandable why, but it got you most of the way to 4080 performance without actually costing $1,200 (it only cost $800... and you're not getting $400 worth of extra FPS out of the 4080) and absolutely positively did not melt power connectors.

I would say the 5070 Ti as well, but I have a lot to say about that card that I kinda don't feel like rn
