What graphics card to choose

    Hi Guys,

    I have a 1080ti which has been going good for me for years. I run 4 screens off this, 3 x 27" that are 1440p and 1 x 34" a dell ultra wide.

    As graphics prices have gotten crazy I have held off on buying a new card. I play lots of games and the 1080ti still is fine for that on my center screen which runs a 1440P.

    However of late it's starting to get hot and one of the screens which is on the HDMI port keeps failing off that port. The card I suppose is starting to show its age.

    I'm thinking along the lines of a 4070ti - something like this, however memory seems a bit low compared to AMD cards.

    Is that card worth it, the memory seems a bit low compared to the AMD

    Can an AMD handle 4 screens as I see must of them only have 2 DP and 2 HDMI while Nvidia have 3 x DP and either 1 or 2 HDMI.

    When I buy a card I'd like to know it will last a few years before needing another upgrade. Gotten great mileage out of the 1080ti but hard to choose a replacement.
