Nvidia made a power house of a GPU at a time when we were only just moving to PS4 Pro / XBOX One X.
At this time the 1080 Ti severely outclassed any games being released as they were console limited.
Moving on to late November 2020 and we see next generation consoles hit the market.
3 years have almost passed and 1080 Ti owners still keep bragging about how great the card is. Praise Jensen!.
In many internet discussions the 1080 Ti owners hailed their GPU as value king and nothing is able to touch it whilst not understanding the real reason why.
Moving on we see games now taking more advantage of RT effects, certain games coming along making the 1080 Ti look very old, many ignored it.
The 2060 being a very mid range Turing GPU and we all knew how much people loathed Turing because it was apparently not a big enough leap in performance whilst Nvidia were tackling a totally different beast other than pure rasterization.
The issues with people who own such cards, their emotions fuel them and blind them, subjectivity is why we buy things, many cannot raise their heads out of this and take a objective and distant view on the subject.
The only reason the 1080 |Ti was so great was due to software allowing it to be, conforming to old ways, the 1080 Ti is amazing all because it came around in a time where there was nothing to push it, overpowered for all software coming out, until games started to push forwards into next generation, the 1080 Ti is now an ever falling behind beast that can still hang in some titles, but this situation above is now much more common.
I will await the old "Nvidia planned obsolescence".
