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.

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?

The igpu in the 7600x is not meant for gaming. It can’t even run 1080p RuneScape 3 on normal settings without lag. Only runs fine with minimum settings. Even a GTX 770 is much more powerful.
