      I had a 1070ti since 2018 and it has run everything I have purchased just fine.

      I thought about checking out this ray tracing stuff the kids are into, but is there a card under $300 that anyone recommends? It also would need to be mini itx as I have a tiny living room gaming PC.

        Sorry but I’m not sure you’re going to get any good ray tracing experience for less than $300.

        AMD probably has the best general use GPU in that price range.

        Intel probably has the best (with a big asterisk due to driver and directx issues) gaming GPU in that price range.

        It’s just hard to recommend buying a GPU right now imo.

    • 1080 here. I’m really happy with the decision I made years back. Some games are terribly not optimized, but that won’t make me cash out for a new piece of hardware.

      And anything that’s actually worth upgrading from my GPU is going to be even bigger and block the front panel pins on my new motherboard I was gifted last year. Yep.
