I guess once my 2080 croaks I'll need to find a new hobby. I can't justify spending double my monthly income on a "mid range" videocard. Not in the least because I need to eat and heat my home.

Then again, any 50xx could probably be used as a space heater...

Playing games on ultra will heat your home!

A second hand dGPUs could be an option, or going with Intel dGPUs.

2080 should still be OK for FHD gaming.

This might not be what you want to hear, but console gaming. For the price of a GPU you can get a console and load up on games.

A PS5 Pro costs like 800€ and is significantly slower, more restricted, and can't be upgraded without shelling out a similar (and rising) amount of money for another console.

A pro is absolutely not necessary. The current generation will get new releases for years to come, and performance will be fine. You don’t need to upgrade until the next generation comes out, typically in 5-10 years, and then it’s once for that entire generation.

Even then your current games are usually backwards compatible, or you just have your old console to play those games.

If you can't have 60 FPS at the minimum I'm not interested in your motion blur cancer.

You don’t need to upgrade until the next generation comes out, typically in 5-10 years, and then it’s once for that entire generation.

That's still more expensive than my mid range PC setups and does not include the needed TV & expensive games.

Even then your current games are usually backwards compatible, or you just have your old console to play those games.

Or I could just play everything on the same system indefinitely without having to hoard clunky consoles & peripherals.

Plus the console is all you have to buy. No peripherals. A PS5 is less than a single GFX card and it comes with everything else.
