Regular GTX 1080 here. Running Space Marine 2 at 60 fps on 1080p on mid-ish settings. And that's basically the most graphics-intensive games I've played recently. Games like Total Warhammer 3, Dark Deity 2, Factorio or Heroes of the Storm don't care about the GPU and play great at 1080p.
Speaking of, what is the next best cost-efficient GOAT in the generations that followed the GTX 10 series? I'm gonna be needing a new GOAT at some point in the future - would love to hear recommendations.
I'm also interested in the answer to this; as a fellow 1080p gamer, a quick research had me hovering around an Intel A770, the only one offering 16gb at my target price of around €300, but I'm open to suggestions.
you can absolutely run newer titles with a 1080/1080ti. maybe not at 4k max settings, but a little bit of compromise should easily get at least 60fps in most titles.
