NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

5 / 10 Expert Rating

Aged remarkably well for pure rasterization, but firmly a legacy budget-tier used buy now that RT and upscaling are mainstream expectations.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU

6.9 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable secondhand 1440p performer, best suited to buyers comfortable with an 8GB VRAM ceiling.
