I actually prefer the crisp edges without as much post-processing effects sometimes. Source engine games look great to me, just minimal crisp and clean geometry. I find a lot of modern graphics distracting, but it depends on the game. I do love really pushing graphics for a game like Skyrim.
Modern game engines don’t use the amazing SSAA (super sampling anti aliasing). Most have post processing anti aliasing like FXAA or TXAA which always makes edges look fuzzy. Source engine is one of those that still supports super sampling
Yeah that’s exactly it, MSAA isn’t too bad but FXAA makes edges look pretty blurry. Temporal anti aliasing is also really blurry looking sometimes but gives the impression that the edges could be crisp.
My 980ti is still a toss up between amazing or mediocre performance. The big issue is that I bought it for £600 which is a lot of money to me, and new GPUs are 3 times that, or more.
A 1080TI still plays every release at medium or higher settings. /shrug
Unless you’re worried about 4k or VR, I wouldn’t upgrade anyway.

I do 4k and VR on my 1080Ti with no issues, on the highest settings, too. That said, I don’t do a lot of AAA gaming, so take that as you will.
Have a 1060 for vr.actually works fine
