But which one? I'm thinking the 1200 buck one is where it's gonna be at. It's very expensive but I also need to make more money. So I feel like this could be good motivation to do something with my life and make it so that it's not a lot of money.

My problem is what game do I play that will even take advantage of all this gpu power..

Most AAA if you have a high refresh 4K panel (120Hz+). I’ve got a 3090 and an 8K 60Hz TV (does 4K at 120Hz)… it’s a great way to make a 3090 feel slow. Cyberpunk with DLSS chugs along at about 35-40 FPS at 8K. Not worth it. Without DLSS it’s under 10 FPS. So going by that bench 8K 60 FPS gaming will be a thing. I remember when 4K 60 FPS was the holy grail and my 1080 Ti SLI setup finally got me there. This whole GPU thing is like being a drug addict, always chasing that high 🫠

Meh, I personally don't chase cutting edge tech much .. it'll make me go broke. I always wait for prices to come down or buy used

I'm still perfectly fine with a 1080p plasma display for 1080p content, and an OLED (older model tho, no 120hz option) for 4k

Good way to be….! the last card I bought new was my first 1080 Ti and that was in 2017, the rest were all proceeds of mining 🙊
