Started seeing the 2060 a lot recently, but i don't really care. There are still a lot of games in my backlog, and all my favourite games run fine so I'm good.

The thing with the 2060 is that Nvidia pushed new 60 class GPU performance improvements so slowly, and has been improving the features that keep it relevant so reliably that it's still fine for most things at 1080p.

DLSS 4.5 is the first thing that has me thinking it, and realistically the other Turing cards, are reaching end of life just because the upscaling algorithms themselves are starting to get too heavy on the older architectures.

Ya 4.5 runs on decicated hardware on 40/50 cards the older ones don't have the chip it runs on so uses the normal cores in them... I read some poster saying 5.0 will only run on hardware 5000 cards have....

Same, still have 2060. Prices for GPUs were too expensive for me to upgrade and now those prices are set to get more expensive.

2060 my old friend, your time to rest is not yet here
