No it wasn't (better than the 1080 relatively compared)

I would say it went downhill when the 80 cards started looking like 70 cards (around the 40 series). At least the 20 series was a 20% boost.

It was my favorite too. It was my first high-end GPU, got it shortly after the TI released I believe (I got the non-TI version), it kept doing what I needed it to until the end of last year when I replaced it with a 9070XT. The 1080 now lives mostly unused in my home media server.

not even comparable...

I had the 1080... and didn't need to upgrade until the 50 serives was released . handled everything at max, and probably still does.

that they were not comparable, and the 1080 was a better all around card. cost wise, and performance wise.

The 1080 was on the market longer and was cheaper, the 2080 was 20% better on all metrics on average. I think you're throwing a fair amount of bias in there due to your experience with the card.

Yes but when you compare the difference between 980-1080 and 1080-2080 its night a day
