I have a question for you guys. I have a 1080p panel. It is not leaning toward any GPU company (not freesync or G Sync). I have an RX480 right now and I'm looking to switch companies and upgrade to a GTX 1080. From what I have asked on these forums in the past, anything above a 1080 would be a waste of money for me (TI or above...even the 1080 I've been looking at is maybe too good for a 1080p monitor). My question is, why? So if I get a GTX 1080 and stay at 1080p, I'll supposedly never have to upgrade again (unless the card fails and I need to replace it)? Any upgrading of my panel that I would do would be to 4K most likely (when/if 8K comes to pc monitors...unless it already has somewhere, and 4K becomes more reasonably priced) and of course I would need to upgrade my card then to a TI model or maybe a second generation RTX card. Until then, though, I shouldn't have to upgrade beyond a GTX 1080 if I stay at 1080p, right? Even if games start saying minimum requirements are an RTX or whatever AMD is coming out with when Navi finally releases?
