Insane how quick hardware goes out of date. Was the recommended CPU at the time, which feels like yesterday. Are you happy with the 3080Ti or wish you held off for the 4000 series? Considering a full upgrade but I'm still ok with framerates for the most part, starting to notice it in some games like Cyberpunk at 1440p though so may start with a new CPU as you have done.

True that, yet CPUs probably have the longest life cycle of any of the components.  Especially compared to GPU at least.  Now that I’m running 1440p I can probably upgrade GPU one or two more times. 

I don’t regret not going 40 series at all.  I actually only picked my FE up about a month ago.  It’s a golden sample I got a great deal on locally.  I felt as though 3080 Ti was the only natural progression from 1080 Ti where I would be getting an upgrade in every metric.  And not losing anything like VRAM capacity.  In fact 3080 Ti is exactly twice as fast as 1080 Ti.  

And honestly I just really love the FE cooler design so it’s the one I *wanted*.  When it’s retired it will go on display along side the legendary EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3

Funny, I know someone IRL that has a 6700k paired with that exact model of 1080 Ti you have 🤔
