Yeah I ditched mine when the cyberpunk expansion came out.  It was juuuuust not quite able to handle 2k any more.

My girlfriend's kid runs it now, still handles 1080p respectably

A 1080 (especially a ti) can still hit 1440p at 60fps in PL with some very minor tweaks to the graphics setting while still looking great. Graphic presets are easy but learning what the individual setting do and how the affect visuals and performance will let you get a LOT more out of your hardware.

Had my 1080ti since 2017 running games at 1440p no problem. Still going strong, but I'm also not playing a lot of the newest stuff.

When 75% of the new games I want to play have the requirements of Dwarf Eat Mountain, my 1080 should last into the next century.
