A 1080TI still plays every release at medium or higher settings. /shrug
Unless you're worried about 4k or VR, I wouldn't upgrade anyway.
If you care about refresh rate it matters, not a lot of people can stand 30-40fps with hard drops to single digits just to be able to play a game.
I'm curious. What game do you think drops to single digits fps on medium settings with a 1080TI?
I was playing Darktide on a 1060 with minimum 30fps recently, and that game is optimized like absolute trash.
Starfield.
1080 is the minimum card, the TI is decently more powerful (30%), but you’ve got to make concessions on medium to get 30fps, and there’s drops.
To be fair though, that's a VERY new game and they cared so little about optimizing it that they went out and said "you're probably going to need a new computer to play this" ..
I hear the 1080ti runs Doom just fine 😛
My 1070 handled Doom Eternal just fine with pretty high settings. I'm sure it helps that I only use a single 1080p monitor for games, but it was still pretty enough for me.
*Edit - I picked up on the sarcasm after posting this reply. Oh well.
That's Bethesda's fault. There is no fucking reason that game can't run well on a 1080ti for how mediocre it looks.
Sounds like I'll never want to even play it lol
Cod MW2/3 are total crapshoots with frame rates, even on a 3080 and set to performance it can still just turn to crap. It seems to run more stable and on higher settings on 2070 laptop. I don't understand. (I tried to get as much hardware running DMZ as possible for friends and family, lots of machines)
That's how I akways played games :(
I do 4k and VR on my 1080Ti with no issues, on the highest settings, too. That said, I don't do a lot of AAA gaming, so take that as you will.
Have a 1060 for vr.actually works fine
I actually prefer the crisp edges without as much post-processing effects sometimes. Source engine games look great to me, just minimal crisp and clean geometry. I find a lot of modern graphics distracting, but it depends on the game. I do love really pushing graphics for a game like Skyrim.
Modern game engines don't use the amazing SSAA (super sampling anti aliasing). Most have post processing anti aliasing like FXAA or TXAA which always makes edges look fuzzy. Source engine is one of those that still supports super sampling
My 980ti is still a toss up between amazing or mediocre performance. The big issue is that I bought it for £600 which is a lot of money to me, and new GPUs are 3 times that, or more.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, when humanity is wiped out future species will find a Nokia on half battery and a fully working 1080Ti.
1070ti gang here. no problems playing anything on medium/high.
I don't do 4k though but VR is fine.
I feel like I'd need a display that can do 4K before I upgrade
Same, but I also don't really care about 4k; 1440 is just fine for me.
I have a 3060, which is a bit faster overall, and it struggles sometimes with my reverb g2. It's a pretty high resolution headset though.
yeah my VR headset is a couple years old as well and not the highest quality it's the Odyssey.
I guess I practice good enough gaming lol.
1080ti is still a beast
.....
.....
I have never felt more called out.
They can pry my 1080 out of my cold dead 12fps hands!
If my 1080 gives up in the near future, I'll probably just give up AAA gaming. BG3 is literally the only game in the last 5 years I have loved which would require more than a potato to run.
Honestly I have a gtx1080 and I can run BG3 at close to ultra settings for around 30-60fps. I think my actual issue is my CPU I have an i7 3770 which came out in like 2012. And I have like ddr 3 ram from 10 years ago as well.
Same here but with an i7 6700K. If I happen to find a decent deal on something like a 12th gen i5 or i7 and chuck in an extra 16gb ram then I think I'd be all set for another couple of years. Although I still don't desperately need an upgrade, everything works well enough except for maybe that one nightclub map in Ready or Not with more npcs than my cpu can keep up with.
My SO upgraded to a Ryzen 5600 and 6600 GPU from a 1050TI and some integrated old CPU and saw massive improvements for BG3. I don't know the integrated CPU but I think that made the difference for this game. Loading in went from crashes or naked people to no issue at all.
1070 gang
1070 is comfy AF, been on one for so long now and I haven't seen any reasons to switch yet
I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to a 3060ti. I'll move the 1070 into a different PC.
>me still running a 970
My 960 runs Unity games like Overcooked at 4k, so I probably won't be upgrading any time soon. With a toddler I don't have time for AAA games anymore, but I'm guessing the frame rate would be painful.
970 here too. A true hero o7
Having to run -400mhz on the vram to prevent mine from crashing all the time but I'm hanging in there 🥲👍
Oh that's a odd problem. What do you think caused that?
I thought it was driver problems at first because it happened so infrequently, but it has gotten worse this year.
Found a load of errors, which went away after the down clock and it's been stable since. It must be just age related degradation, temps were never high but I know the repeated temp changes have an impact.
Couldn't this be related to psu?
Same problem as mine! I thought I was the only one. I’m using msi afterburn and tuning down power usage to 90% sigh
I bumped the power up on mine, I might be wrong but I assumed more power but less speed would allow it to keep stable and it seems to be working so far.
I had a 1060 3G version and it just couldn't hack it anymore. Picked up a 20 series this year and it was such an improvement.
1060 6g still flying
Yeah. I'm about 90% sure that if I had gotten the 1060 6G and I hadn't gotten a really good deal on a 2080, I'd probably still be using the 1060.
For now though, I don't suspect I'll be replacing the 2080 anytime soon.... So when the 50 series comes out, this meme will be me with my 2080.
Anyway, this moved you for the better card! Congrats :)
Same here. Works great and does all I need it to. It would be nice to have a new GPU but I'm driving this one until the wheels fall off.
I just upgraded from my 1060 6g. Got a 7800xt.
Depends on the games. My 980TI can still rock 3440x1440 in most of the games I play.
The fact that what I play is mostly metroidvania shouldn't be an issue, right? 😅
My 980ti still holds up pretty well at 1920x1440 (high-end CRT monitors were beautiful things, restart production you cowards) for most 3d games I play on Linux, but it is starting to have performance issues in some games, and I'm getting real sick and tired of the dumb shit Nvidia keeps pulling with their Linux drivers. The current driver gives me horrible black flickering in a lot of games, and of course they arbitrarily lock me out maxing out my CRT monitor (which don't have a fixed resolution, only a balance of resolution vs refresh rate, and it keeps blocking me from a whole range of refresh rate/resolution combinations). So I confess I am starting to eye the higher-end AMD 6xxx GPUs, and I would definitely try and grab one as cheaply as I could if I ever got a 3440x1440 ultrawide.
Incidentally, how are ultrawides for having two or three windows open side-by-side at the same time?
It's still a decent card, probably can still do well at 1080p max settings in most games. Very similar to a 3060 in terms of performance, which is the card I have.
I'm playing D4 at 4K on medium settings. No complaints. This is on a 3yo laptop with 1080ti in an external enclosure hooked up via Thunderbolt.
This is how I've always felt, running on old second hand unstable rigs. But it's better than nothing.
Haha, bold to assume new rigs are stable, speaking from a ryzen 7 7800x3d and 7900xtx. Thing can barely fucking boot everytime I power it on.
Really? Wow. I've assumed new rigs to be more stable. Guess I was wrong then.
Mine is a FE and still chugging along great. I did replace the godawful stock cooler with an aftermarket cooler with a GIANT heatsink. Temps never go over 60 anymore.
Similarly, I repasted and replaced thermal pads on my 1080ti SC2 and it is still performing beautifully at 1440p High settings on most things
I'm actually considering upgrading to a 1070 (i have a 1050ti)
I have a friend that's always "waiting for the next one" who finally got a 3080 and meanwhile I play games with him on my trusty 1050
Just get 1080, trust me
used 1070 are half the price of used 1080/ti and more than good enough for me
I was considering upgrading to 1070ti but would probably go with the 2070super so I can use dlss (I also have a 1050ti)
Check your regions rx6600(xt) pricing, both cards are much faster than a 1070.
oh actually, I'm so used to amd cards being ridiculously expensive (both used and new) in ukraine that i didn't even consider them. Prices are way more fair here in poland
I will replace my 1060 tomorrow for a 4060 ti. Really looking forward to it!
Congratulations! My 1060 6gb was a trooper and my favorite card ever
I just went from a 3770k with a vega 64 to a 7800x3d with 7900xtx. Pretty big jump!
I still have a i7 3770 from 2012 and a GTX 1080. What does it feel like now to upgrade?
Running Cyberpunk with Ray tracing on high settings was pretty neat. I could only get medium at best before. The 3770 is still pretty solid for a medium teir hpu even after a decade. But will bottleneck pretty much most cards over the 1080.
My 970 seems as old as the wheel if you read this kind of threads.
I really need to upgrade my rig…
Im going to switch my 1060 only becuz of wayland
Literally the same thing I did, switched from 1060 6gb to rx 6600 just for wayland.
It's not worth it tbh
Is it not possible to run Wayland?
It does run, but not as fine as it would on AMD or Intel
50% chance it will be ok. It worked perfectly on arch linux with hyprland, but the same set up on NixOS is having some troubles
My 660ti is finally showing its age...
Still got life in her yet
I have a 670. Beat you by three months!
In all seriousness, they perform about the same. But I can't really play any recent titles bar Indie games.
Still loving my 1070!
Same, it works perfectly fine still! My only gripe is the Nvidia drivers on Linux + Wayland :/
The context for the Lola video was when the internet lost its shit when the new Space Jam came out and Lola had no tits.
Dude has mastered the live-action anime style.
Quite intriguing isn't it?
Even the base 1080 is still a very capable card. I recently gave mine to a friend when I upgraded to a 3060. And looking at the market, the Pascal generation will remain the goat for the foreseeable future.
My 1080TI is still running fine
My original cpu I installed in high-school, well...
I’m expecting some good build opportunities in Spring 2024. Plan is to build two desktops, one AMD-heavy with the Arch-based Steam OS and another Nvidia desktop with Nobara and space for windows 12.
Storage on a self repairing raid array on a PCIx16 adapter is looking amazing, but hardware raid configurations are still preferable to software configs and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.
I remember when the 1080ti was top of the line. Good times.
My 1050ti is still working nicely for everything I play, but I would like some rendering speed improvements in blender so maybe I'll upgrade in some years
radeon rx 480 gang
I'm still rocking my 380
Gave up my 980ti for a 6700xt and am very glad. My i7 2600 (non-k) will be used till it truly shits the bed, going to frame it
I spent more time with my 2600k than I did with my threadeipper 1950x.
I remember when a new generation came out (I forgot which) and I just overclocked the 2600k till it matched the stock benchmarks for the new chip. It truly was a monster.
I overvolted it a few times, but that ain't pretty. Wish I had the k version
I just ordered parts for my first build since 2011. I've had my Sandybridge i5 at 4.5ghz most of this time... until the fans died and it overheated, replaced the fans and it was fine, brought it to 5ghz somehow so it could live out its last days in glory, it's been two years. That'll do pig, that'll do.
My 690 still works for many games. 🥲
I knew a guy at NVidia and got a screaming deal on a 980ti hybrid. Just replaced it with a used 2070 this year.
I replaced my 980ti two years ago. It was heartbreaking…
I will never give up my rx480
Same but RX580 so a bit less behind.
Only reason I recently moved from that very card was to play with stable diffusion, otherwise yeah the 'need' to boost things for games and whatnot just isn't there. Might be just that I''ve never been a major twitch type gamer though, more Civ/StarCraft style.
Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them
So I've only used those tools on Linux and found it works quite well. Perhaps its a problem related to the windows environment?
The setups I saw kept demanding 8GB of vram at the time, the card I had was only 4 so it would constantly give an out memory state.
Oh the 1080ti has 11GB of vram.
Yeah, I only have a 1080p monitor so the only times my 3060 feels limiting are with stable diffusion and in VR
980TI still going strong! I don't play anything too demanding anyway and Ive taken real good care of it so fingers crossed it'll keep going till I can afford a new rig!
I also have a 980TI. I think mine might be dying though, sometimes my PC shuts off and sometimes it doesn't start up. One particular time I got it started again by removing my GPU. I just want it to last another year but we'll see.
Ha! Just ordered a few new components yesterday!
So long, beloved 1080, you were da real MVP o/
Which one did you have?
Why is no one talking about FSR3 and frame generation here?
Idk fam FSR doesnt even look that great to me. Upscaling is OK but meh. Im on 1080P though, yet. Theres other cool tech though like sub-surface scattering, and its nice to finally be able to let all models load in a scene.
Frame generation doesn't improve latency, that's why I don't care about it.
Me just now. Just got 7800 xt after all these great years.
I mean, I dont often play games, but my 2016 laptop handles them (not very well). It has an i5 cpu and a radeon r7 m440 gpu (that has no updates since 2years ago) and I can somewhat play fortnite (its probably the most demanding game ny laptop can play, pubg runs at like 10fps).
I would think a pc with a 1080 can probably play games kinda well.
My 980 still plays anything I want fine
You don't need more for d2r and it's the newest game anyone needs to be playing.
I was running a 750ti until a few months ago.
Finally had to bid it adieu this year. Probably should have years ago, to be honest.
What did you upgrade to? How are you liking it?
I'm running a Radeon 6600 now. It does well enough, but my needs are modest.
I was running a 1050 (it was a laptop, if I had a desktop I might have upgraded sooner) until a few months ago. I only wanted to upgrade if games just wouldn't run anymore even on low settings.
My 1070 is doing fine, thank you very much. I haven't felt any need to replace it.
Just replaced my trusty 1080 non TI with a 7800XT. Thanks for carrying me through the GPU drought, you were da real MVP. I even installed an extra case fan, directed at the GPU to support it's wee fans during the dark times.
i have some 2009 ordi prebuilt, but i very recently got an ThinkPad T495 (2026 Linux will be installed on my laptop)
I fucking love my 1080ti and I will never, ever get rid of it. It's part of my first custom gaming PC and I have promised to frame it whenever the time comes I can't use it anymore.

My 1050ti is still working nicely for everything I play, but I would like some rendering speed improvements in blender so maybe I'll upgrade in some years
radeon rx 480 gang
I'm still rocking my 380
Gave up my 980ti for a 6700xt and am very glad. My i7 2600 (non-k) will be used till it truly shits the bed, going to frame it
I spent more time with my 2600k than I did with my threadeipper 1950x.
I remember when a new generation came out (I forgot which) and I just overclocked the 2600k till it matched the stock benchmarks for the new chip. It truly was a monster.
I overvolted it a few times, but that ain't pretty. Wish I had the k version
I just ordered parts for my first build since 2011. I've had my Sandybridge i5 at 4.5ghz most of this time... until the fans died and it overheated, replaced the fans and it was fine, brought it to 5ghz somehow so it could live out its last days in glory, it's been two years. That'll do pig, that'll do.
My 690 still works for many games. 🥲
I knew a guy at NVidia and got a screaming deal on a 980ti hybrid. Just replaced it with a used 2070 this year.
I replaced my 980ti two years ago. It was heartbreaking…
I will never give up my rx480
Same but RX580 so a bit less behind.
Only reason I recently moved from that very card was to play with stable diffusion, otherwise yeah the 'need' to boost things for games and whatnot just isn't there. Might be just that I''ve never been a major twitch type gamer though, more Civ/StarCraft style.
Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them
So I've only used those tools on Linux and found it works quite well. Perhaps its a problem related to the windows environment?
The setups I saw kept demanding 8GB of vram at the time, the card I had was only 4 so it would constantly give an out memory state.
Oh the 1080ti has 11GB of vram.
Yeah, I only have a 1080p monitor so the only times my 3060 feels limiting are with stable diffusion and in VR
980TI still going strong! I don't play anything too demanding anyway and Ive taken real good care of it so fingers crossed it'll keep going till I can afford a new rig!
I also have a 980TI. I think mine might be dying though, sometimes my PC shuts off and sometimes it doesn't start up. One particular time I got it started again by removing my GPU. I just want it to last another year but we'll see.
Ha! Just ordered a few new components yesterday! So long, beloved 1080, you were da real MVP o/
Which one did you have?
Why is no one talking about FSR3 and frame generation here?
Idk fam FSR doesnt even look that great to me. Upscaling is OK but meh. Im on 1080P though, yet. Theres other cool tech though like sub-surface scattering, and its nice to finally be able to let all models load in a scene.
Frame generation doesn't improve latency, that's why I don't care about it.
Me just now. Just got 7800 xt after all these great years.
I mean, I dont often play games, but my 2016 laptop handles them (not very well). It has an i5 cpu and a radeon r7 m440 gpu (that has no updates since 2years ago) and I can somewhat play fortnite (its probably the most demanding game ny laptop can play, pubg runs at like 10fps).
I would think a pc with a 1080 can probably play games kinda well.
My 980 still plays anything I want fine
You don't need more for d2r and it's the newest game anyone needs to be playing.
I was running a 750ti until a few months ago.
Finally had to bid it adieu this year. Probably should have years ago, to be honest.
What did you upgrade to? How are you liking it?
I'm running a Radeon 6600 now. It does well enough, but my needs are modest.
💀 what goshdarn movie is this from
It's from a video by the brilliant James Lee: https://youtu.be/A7PJQa1RfM0?si=_AAwpY_rJC1o-j4P

*980Ti
I was running a 1050 (it was a laptop, if I had a desktop I might have upgraded sooner) until a few months ago. I only wanted to upgrade if games just wouldn't run anymore even on low settings.
My 1070 is doing fine, thank you very much. I haven't felt any need to replace it.
Just replaced my trusty 1080 non TI with a 7800XT. Thanks for carrying me through the GPU drought, you were da real MVP. I even installed an extra case fan, directed at the GPU to support it's wee fans during the dark times.
i have some 2009 ordi prebuilt, but i very recently got an ThinkPad T495 (2026 Linux will be installed on my laptop)
I fucking love my 1080ti and I will never, ever get rid of it. It's part of my first custom gaming PC and I have promised to frame it whenever the time comes I can't use it anymore.
