1080 is still pretty close to the best money can buy. That’s like a $750 card even today. You’re pretty much at the top of the capability curve.

It's a high-end card for sure, but "pretty close to the best money can buy" is a big hyperbole.

The RTX 2070S beats the 1080Ti by a comfortable margin, while the 1080Ti beats the 1080 by a strong margin as well. I left out the RTX 3000 as they are hard to come by, but it's beaten by the RTX 3060Ti which, at MSRP is a $400 card.

And the 2070S is $900.

The list prices are meaningless if you can’t buy them at that price.

I’m just saying, the 1080 is a very high end card even today. You can’t afford it in a budget or even a mid range PC.
