Oh yeah, I’m not saying the 4S is a good phone nowadays, but I still consider it the best phone of all time when you consider when it came out, what its competitors were, etc. Similar to the Nvidia 1080 GPU.
What I’m saying is that Apple made sure to turn it into a bad phone three years after its release, while the 1080 is still a decent GPU several years later.
This took me down a rabbit hole, thanks for the link. Time to start saving my dollars. I didn’t realise just how much of an upgrade a new GPU would be for me.
Bought a laptop with a 1050ti back in 2018, still use it to this day. Though I don’t game on it as much as I used to. I’ve upgraded everything else in it that I could
1080’a going to be used until it dies. Don’t have a grand to spend on a card
I would nominate the Gtx1080 (actually the 1060 6gb too) as the best of the best GPU ever made.
The price/performance ratio at their launch was insane and even 7 years later, they’re still valid options for budget gamers.
That’s one. 1080 GTX. And it’s been about 6 years dutifully chugging away
Literally just replaced my 1080ti after about 5 years, absolutely loved it

My 4S became unusable after the … iOS 6? 7? update; nothing would remain running in the background and apps took several seconds to start.
Switched to Android and never looked back.
Edit: looked up a few dates and I think it must have been iOS 8.

Be an absolute irresponsible moron and finance one like I did :) who cares about debt when you have FRAMES am I right?.. right…?
Please pay off your credit card debt.
Oh don’t worry, I have. In fact my credit rating rocks because of my irresponsible-ness - just the way capitalism intended
You don’t need to. If you look at the relative performance table, you can get a feeling for a cheaper upgrade path (if you need it): https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080-ti.c2877
