I don’t know how far down the line that upgrade might be, but I’ve recently used both a 1080 and the latest-gen (see reply below) an AMD igpu (7600x) and I gotta say the 1080 is still significantly more powerful. Maybe if the upgrade is soon hold off on selling the 1080 until you see if you’re satisfied with the igpu performance?
It’s not even about performance; I just don’t play anything that can justify a discreet GPU and I’m imagining the idle power draw is gonna be significantly better on a CPU with an integrated GPU than a CPU+GPU.
You said “discreet GPU”, that would mean something like a GPU that is careful, guarded, and keeps your secrets.
I think you meant a “discrete GPU”, which would mean a GPU that is distinct and separate from the rest of the system, so not built into the same silicon as the CPU or motherboard.

Personally I’m getting rid of my GTX 1080 in favor of an AMD iGPU next time I upgrade, so it would seem to me that it’s the right path.

Alright, I’m gonna be that guy:

My GPU is very descreet! I store my diary on his VRAM and he never blabbers to anyone.
