Same boat here. I'm stuck with my 1070ti.

That's an 8GB card. For gaming (DLSS, etc.), you can still get newer 8GB cards like the 3070 which represent solid upgrades over the 1070 Ti on the used market for under $300. Still not great since similar cards were available at similar prices new a couple years ago, but at least not trading at multiples of MSRP like higher-end cards.

		Even 8GB cards might start going up. I recently bought a cheap one so I can auxiliary models on it (think smaller LLMs for memory consolidation / decision models etc). Locally, multi-gpu is pretty cool. You can essentially have one GPU drive the others and do increasingly powerful things when you combine them.
