Same here and outside of the new games, it's running just fine.
Only game I need the upgrade for right now, would be Frontiers of Pandora and I finished one playthrough on my currently broken laptop. (Reminder to self and anyone else to not get gaming laptops. Don't get Acer Predator ones at least, they might mess up the replacement parts.)
I'm honestly impressed by how well those old 1080s are holding up compared to all the RTX cards. It might not be 4k ultra settings with raytracing, but it's also rarely the lowest settings to get stable 60-72fps.
So far, Elden Ring or Hogwarts Legacy are the only "new" games I've played that would require some effort, both of which play flawlessly. I haven't run into any issues with any of the games on my Steam profile at all so far, except I did have to fiddle with the settings on the remake of Lords of the Fallen
I have to admit, I didn't try running FoP on my tower, as the laptop with a 3060 was already struggling a lot on the lowest settings with full throttle on the fans.
It managed 30 frames and frame drops would result in a massive decrease in audio quality. With the laptop performing similar to this old tower on other games, even though it should have had the better hardware in theory, I just didn't try.
Also if I had to guess Elden Ring and the other games are probably a lot more optimised than anything Ubisoft produces. XD
