Only reason I recently moved from that very card was to play with stable diffusion, otherwise yeah the 'need' to boost things for games and whatnot just isn't there. Might be just that I''ve never been a major twitch type gamer though, more Civ/StarCraft style.

Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them

Yeah, I only have a 1080p monitor so the only times my 3060 feels limiting are with stable diffusion and in VR

So I've only used those tools on Linux and found it works quite well. Perhaps its a problem related to the windows environment?

The setups I saw kept demanding 8GB of vram at the time, the card I had was only 4 so it would constantly give an out memory state.

Oh the 1080ti has 11GB of vram.
