Any thoughts of maybe upgrading in the future to an even better gpu like a 3080 ti etc?
Just a random story: More than decade ago, I wanted a future proof PSU so purchased a Seasonic X-1250v1, for some 200+USD.
Looking back, the highest wattage I reached was either when I was running HD6950 with QX9650 CPU, or 1080ti with 7700K (current setup), probably never reached 500W. I plan on getting a 3080 or maybe next gen 4080(??) but by the time I get a new GPU my X-1250 might be end of its life. I wonder why a1250W PSU even existed in 2012.
