A GTX 1080 or more so the GTX 1080 Ti is juuuuuuuuust fine for a 2022 build, not even shabby. I think it will still be fine in 2023. The people who bought it on launch (and still have it) made a really good investment.
I disagree. Pascal owners love their cards for good reason - but I keep seeing people swearing by these ancient graphics cards as if they were special. You simply need to experience Ampere if you think that's something to write home about. You'll find more than adequate a match for a GTX 1070 on an RTX 3050. Maybe even a 1070 Ti; and that's on the games that Pascal can run decently (DX11).
I know I may sound harsh calling Pascal ancient - but it's really an architecture from 2016. That's well over six years ago, more than half a decade. To put that into perspective, that's the year the iPhone 7 and the Galaxy S7 launched. See how these two mighty flagships compare to even midrange phone like a Galaxy A33 5G today? Tech has gone forward so much, and I am all too happy to acknowledge its age. Even if some people aren't willing to, but then again, many would defend using Windows 7 in this present year and I think that is completely

End of the day, you know what's best for your own personal needs. I can respect that. But I personally won't recommend a Pascal architecture graphics card for a modern build.
