That's the beauty of the pc space... graphics cards from 8 years ago are still relevant to this day (I envy people who got a 1080Ti in 2015 haha, I hope i get the same with my 3080, running games respectfully years into the future) Lately I found joy again playing video games, mostly portable ones, they have such a good "pick up and play" factor, no login, no server bullshit just play. And yeah my pc currently is very overkill for most of the games I enjoy, I just don't regret it because I use it a lot for game dev and 3D.
3080 gangg!! Haha yea i heavily agree with you. By portable do you mean the retro handhelds like the miyoo mini? Or pc handhelds like steamdeck or rog ally? Thats also another positive to buying expensive graphics cards that I didnt mention is that for certain power users (game dev and 3d) its 100 percent worth it to invest in. If I ever buy a new graphics card down the road (a 6080 perhaps), it will be a buy once cry later situation
