I have an 8gb 2080, and it's starting to be a poor performer. I'm planning on buying a laptop some time later this year if I can save enough, and I was looking at 8gb 4060 machines. I can barely afford $1k for an 8 gig vram laptop, I'd never be able to afford $3000 for a laptop with 16gb vram.

I hate to be that guy but that's a side grade at best, and a downgrade depending on the wattage of that 4060 (depends on the laptop). 4060 is one of the worst price / performance cards made recently. Do you need a laptop? With a 1,000 or less budget just swapping your current 2080 to a better card will get you better results.

Techpowerup average results for 1080p and that's the desktop variant of the 4060, the laptop one is at minimum 10% slower.

Oh, I get it, but I can't game with a 35lb tower and 27" 1440 display in bed (main use case) or a hotel/staying at family's house. Also, my desktop is an 8700k now, as my AM4 board died.

My Titan X with 12GB VRAM is still going fine

Sir, you are out of horsepower before ram becomes an issue

2060 Super 8GB holding up fine

I game in 4K with games from 2005-2015

2016-now I'm not interested in much but the few games I like I play in 1080p

Everything else (retro, ect.) I play on my CRT monitors

I'm honestly surprised how well it still does. I'm not getting 4k60fps by any means but I can still play 2kish/30ish fps modern games with it.

No 4gb option in poll. I'm still on 4gb vram. Somehow still managed to play Horizon Forbidden West lol. 4gb cards like 1050Ti, 1650,3050,3050ti are still pretty popular as per steam hardware survey.

Actually in hindsight I forgot there are two Titan X's... one from 2015 and the newer Titan X(pascal). If you've got the XP one that's definitely very usable to this day.

my 3080 10 GB has been fine on everything @ 1440p save Diablo IV on Ultra.

this forum is not a good place to discuss performance amongst the wider gaming community. half this forum will tell you anything less than 120 fps is unplayable

less than 16 GB of VRAM? trash. unusable, can't play games
1% low below 60 fps? unplayable, terrible performance

3060 still on life support!

The parity/VRAM pressure will be ramped up even further with PS5 Pro getting additional 1.2gb memory allocated to games. Choose your card wisely.
