The 80 series has been so badly neutered these last two gens. It has nearly half the CUDA cores of the 90 series and I'd like to see them up the CUDA core count to what the 4090 is now. I feel like the 3080 was the last decent 80 series GPU we had.
If the 6080 has decent generational uplift, I could see myself finally parting with my 4090. I was sick at my stomach with what I paid for my 4090 ($1700) and considering that it could take me into the 7000 series, it actually feels like I got an OK deal.
I am very much hoping that AMD can offer a 4090 competitor soon, so I can easily ditch WIndows on my gaming desktop PC. I don't have to worry about the HDMI 2.1 headaches there like I do for my living room PC, which is where I REALLY want the SteamOS/Bazzite OS.
