They really want to kill off the 10x series
And with no real reason. The 1080 Ti in my machine runs better than a 4060 I tested some time ago (the only thing changed was the graphics card).
And with no real reason
The real reason is planned obsolescence. Your old GPU working is bad for NVidia because it means you're not buying a new one from them.
Exactly. This is what I mean with “with no real reason”. It is a completely made-up reason just because I don’t make them any money.
I know it's a generation later but the 1660ti I bought secondhand just before the pandemic is also working like a beast. If I had a lot of disposable income maybe I would've upgraded but it's performing so good that I'd rather spend the 1500+ bucks on a different project like a NAS for jellyfin.
You have specifically identified why they wanna kill it off.
Mine already died from old age. Gave me 9 years of use. I am not even mad that it died. lol
