Howdy yall. I'm looking to upgrade my current setup. I had SLI 1080s back when the 1080s came out but now no games support SLI, so I'm essentially down to a single 1080 and I'm struggling to play some new games.
Anyway, looking for a suggestion for a new "future proof" card that is compatible with my setup and if there are significant bottlenecks elsewhere. Im also not too keen on all of the different versions of each card. I assume my i7 needs to be updated as well but I'm not that bright. Willing to spend the $ but don't want something that's unnecessary.
Nobody else has said anything yet so just wanted to say that your i7 is probably still fine. CPUs tend to stay relevant in gaming for longer than the GPUs do. I only replaced my i5 4690k like a year and a half ago (bought in 2015).
