@Ganoncrotch
I am not sour at all about buying my pc. I actually had a 970GTX that broke down on me and I knew perfectly well that a 1060GTX wasn't much, if any, of an upgrade. There was a time when I did upgrade my gpu every 2 years or so and sure, I wanted to get a 2070GTX instead. But here's the thing. A 2070GTX would have cost me about $450 extra and to me, that just wasn't worth it. I mean why would I, when a 1060GTX can run anything at max settings in 1440p already? I am sure a lot of pc gamers who spend $500 or more on a gpu feel some buying remorse like I had. It's like owning a super car that can go 300mph, but you have nowhere to drive it. Not saying they are completely useless and if you're into VR, or want to play with triple monitors at 120FPS, then I'm sure it's great. But for the average gamer like me, a 2070RTX would be complete overkill at the moment.
Now, unless Permalite is correct and the 1060GTX will run all games fine next gen, I'm aware that I will have to upgrade when the next gen kicks off. I'm not sour about that, in fact I would love to see graphics take a leap that force me to upgrade, instead of playing ps4 games in 4k at 300fps. However by then a 2070GTX will probably cost me around $100 on ebay. That's the beauty of pc, you can always upgrade when it's needed. The whole point I'm trying to make here, and why nobody could name the OP a single game that really takes advantage of his 1080TI, is that we'll have to wait till next gen before we will need to.

When you say "max settings" are you saying.... Max Settings* meaning Max but not with max AA or lighting... shadows on medium, particles on low?
That's 1080p ultra and the card isn't reaching 60fps (unlike the older 980TI which again... was designed to be high end) unless you're suggesting that your graphics card somehow renders 1440p faster than it does 1080p? I see some bench's for the 1060 at 1440 they're not pretty, but ... I think you have to know that right? you can't think that card can do something like metro exodus at 1440p/ultra?
21-27fps
Switch would have a better cut at running the game if optimized right. But then Switch would know not to be trying to run the game 1440p/Ultra on hardware that wasn't designed for that.

Ouch, no need to insult my 1060. I know it's not great but it works good enough for me right now. Next gen, I'm sure I will get me a 2070GTX somewhere down the road.
