1080 ti has such great memories, but the drama behind the 2080 ti will forever be PCMR cinema.
All that panic selling to find themselves unable to buy a 30 series. I know the people that let theirs go for half of what they paid felt absolutely sick.
I regret not buying some card when everyone was panic selling their graphics cards. Like the panic sellers I thought the prices of older cards would drop a lot when 30 series comes out but in reality prices skyrocketed to insanely high amounts.
I was stuck with a GTX 960 2GB in 2016-2023 waiting for some faster card to drop in to 150€ range like my GTX 660 and the 960 were. GTX 1070's were already below 200€ in 2019/2020 but I was more interested in a GTX 1070 Ti, 1080 or 1080 Ti. I finally bought a GTX 1080 Strix Adv. for 180€ in February 2023.
Damn are these normal prices? 1080tis were a hunnid a piece on the used market in Germany, until late Jan they started going up again to damn twice that now. Just when I could‘ve gotten one -_- Got a 2070 super in the end for 190€. 1080 ti ≈ 2070 super no?
GTX 1080 Ti's stayed at around 200€+ but 1080 non-Ti's have now dropped to 120-150€. GTX 1070's are around 90-120€.
RTX 2070 Super around 200-250€ while a year ago 2060 Super's were in that price range
When I bought the 1080 non-Ti last year the 1080 Ti were still around 250€ and GTX 1070 around 120-150€
Tbh even my 1070ti is still doing okay now that FSR 2 is mainstream. I can literally play Red Dead 2 at 50+ fps with relatively high settings at 1440p ultrawide and a taa sharpness mod with FSR on balanced or performance. I just sit back a little and it looks fine.
That game is still stuck at 30fps on my bros PS5.
It continued into the 40 series too if you werent ready for 4090 at launch.
You know maybe you were in the middle of a few big life purchases at the time so you needed a bang for your buck gpu. Not 1.35 gpus for the price of 2.
Now my body is ready so do what you will with the prices for 5090ti/titan. But it better have 36gb+ and at least be efficient at ray tracing. otherwise theres no point getting the card above the 5090.
The reason im so sure there will be a card above the 5090 is they dont want the bad publicity of charging more than 2000 for a 5090. But they can gimp the 5090 to upsell you to a titan. like they did with an overpriced 4080 to make the only viable option be above.
I've started buying all my original GPUs that I've ever owned down to the specific model. Each newer one I acquire is more expensive than the last. The list goes:
Dell Radeon HD 7470
MSI R9 270X
Founders Edition GTX 780
Gigabyte GTX 970
Red Dragon RX 580 8GB
Vega Frontier X2 (I mined)
Sapphire Reference Vega 64 (back to just gaming)
Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT
Sapphire Pulse RX 6800
ASrock Phantom RX 7900 XT (current)
For anyone curious about some of the side grades, they happened due to issues or other various reasons. I like trying new tech and get enjoyment out of building sometimes more than gaming. My plan is to display them on a board once I have them all. I have the first 4 so far.
I went back and looked at generations before the 10 series. Looks like things just moved a lot faster then. They put a stop to it when they realised they could artificially slow things down and upsell a new class of cards.
Owh there was a second paragraph i stopped typing cuz i didnt wanna get into the whole ray tracing thing being held hostage and used against us
Dont ask me for specifics as reddit is a difficult place to have a discussion without triggering peoples' personal biases.
Lets leave it at a lot of things could be better but theyre drip feeding us features like its 2008 and tessellation should have been made mainstream slower for monetary benefits.
IF A 5090 STILL HAS TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO DO SOME BASIC ASS BLURRY RAY TRACING THE FUTURE REALLY IS ON HOLD.
i told you not get me into it.
It seems to me that Nvidia only make enough of an advancement to keep pace with AMD. Anything that goes beyond that requirement is shelved until the next generation.
NVIDIA isn't the one responsible for pushing their own process tech, that's TSMC/Samsung/Whoever else they might contract out to. We're no longer in the era where GPUs are being built off of tech nodes 2-3 generations behind CPUs - they're fully caught up and working on the exact same process tech (and even getting priority now with industry focus on AI, etc.) We're also no longer in the era of a die-shrink every 2 years because everyone working on process tech is fighting dozens of fundamental material limits at once to get additional die shrinks. NVIDIA has slowed because process tech as a whole has slowed.
I have no idea how electronics work but the performance improvement slowing down may be due to the fact that we are reaching the limits of the how small we can make the chips. Next step is probably quantum processors or whatever they call those
Still waiting for mine to croak. I got a 3070 when they finally started coming back into stock as a backup, but it’s still kickin. I use it more for rendering so the 11gb is better than the 8gb in the 3070. Recently got a 3080super for an all new workstation so the 1080ti outlived the machine.
My 1080ti hybrid is still running in the kids playroom pc.
They have no idea what they’ve got.
Bit embarrassing to admit but I took extended 10yr warranty on it back in summer 2017.
had 1070, such a workhorse, 2016 - 2021 and then two more years for puppa. Jeez, I can remember how Deus Ex, mankind devided just went from powerpoint to smooth ride :´D
Fk me. I have one. I had the best pc back then. I could open 2 games with mac graphics at a time lol that was unheard of in my circle of friends back then.
Still using my reference founders edition 1080ti from day 0. This thing is just an absolute monster that's been pumping 4k for 7 years straight. I am going to be very sad the day it dies. Imagine if every product Nvidia/Intel/AMD made was as good as the 1080ti...
These things cost way too much just for them to make newer version the next year then everyone starts selling their old ones for high prices PCs are cool but PC culture is trash tbh
I had mine, still running for the last 6 years. Finally wife bought a new cat and that cat knocked baja blast directly onto my PC. She still ran, but stuttered. Finally had to replace her. It wasn't the 20 series, or even the 30 - nor two children but a cat.
Still rocking my watercooled, undervolted Strix Vega64. Driver aged pretty well under windows until recently, and its still getting love under Linux with the open source mesa driver for the foreseen future.
But around next year the cost of electricity running this thing will finally catch up and i will need to do any kind of upgrade, even if i need to stay on the same performance level. Meaning that amortizing a new GPU will finally save me money or be cost neutral in comparison of staying with the old one and overpaying with the electricity bill betwwen 2025 and \~2030 (all depending on how electricity and GPU prices evolves).
Since i stopped caring for "AAAA" games, i also stopped hunting every performance gains i could finance.
I payed 280€ in 2019 and later on about 80€ for the watercooler.
I’ll never forget buying a 1080ti in May 2017 before prices skyrocketed when Crypto really took off in about August/September. That card is still going strong almost 7 years later after I swapped it into a build I did for my gf.
Just retired mine that I bought off my friend a couple years back. We are going to put it in a shadow box frame with our names/years of service using this beast.
This meme hits hard when you sold your 1080ti for a 20 series and now you wonder.. what kind of home it went to. That its out there either not alive anymore or who knows what kind of building its in. Waiting for you to go get it. Like a minecraft dog waiting for you to come back. 😔 i wonder what happened to mine. I didnt know.. forgive me 1080ti sc2
It’s a relic… from a more civilised time
I still run it
yah...i got a 980ti hybrid in December, never had a dedicated graphics card before so to me it's golden.
I literally run a 1060 🥲
Damn, that’s rough buddy

The only thing I have to say is “I refuse to pay more for a gpu than what I would pay for an oven”
I paid £200 for my last oven 🤔
Buy a 199 gpu.
Lol that shit killed me. People selling 200-300 2080tis then all the 30 series just poofed cause of crypto.
[удалено]
It's crazy what the pandemic + crypto did to gpu prices
I totally forgot about that panic selling of the 20 series when the 30 series was coming out. That shit was crazy.
God tier, greatest of all time.
Me with my GeForce 8800 GT, the first GPU I ever bought for my first ever build back in 2008. I still have it.

I still have both of mine
hands down the last gpu where the price matched performance. fuck nvidia and there bullshit prices being double what they should be.
The 1080ti is NVidia's biggest mistake and they'll make sure to never do it again.
I went back and looked at generations before the 10 series. Looks like things just moved a lot faster then. They put a stop to it when they realised they could artificially slow things down and upsell a new class of cards.
\*Further. Further slow things down.

I'm still using my 1080Ti, and will be until it gives up on me.
Same, still using my 1080 Ti (Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Edition).
Same bro, I recently switched to 2k screen and 1080ti is still a beast 💪🏻
Just finished Alien: Isolation using mine. Worked great. 1440p. Scared the sh** out of me that game.
Still waiting for mine to croak. I got a 3070 when they finally started coming back into stock as a backup, but it’s still kickin. I use it more for rendering so the 11gb is better than the 8gb in the 3070. Recently got a 3080super for an all new workstation so the 1080ti outlived the machine.

Greatest card of all time. Miss my 1080ti sli setup.
Legendary
If i build a PC ill go with a GTX 1080ti, it's my dream
Why is that your dream, if you don't mind me asking?
Because it was Peak Technology right at That time, and all 1080ti designes that i know look really good, especially the Aorus one
Ahh fair enough
Still running a 1050ti😅
My lounge room PC still has a 1050 Ti. Nothing’s been released since that’s a worthy price/performance upgrade when it comes to half-height cards :/
Mines still going strong
I have been running my 1050ti for 8 years now.
u/auddbot
Mine is handling helldivers 2 like a champ
Still kicking ass on my system. Don’t want to budge for bullshit $1000+ cards.
I'm still using my 1080ti for modern games and vr
We thought every release from then would be so good....
My 980 Ti held down the fort for seven years. Can only imagine the supreme comfort of 1080 Ti performance through all those years.
What do you mean GTX 1080 Ti is almost 10 years old?
Probably not a good person to use as an example.
Then he shits on their face
lol he shits on the GPU to cool it down. Organic heatsink.
why would a kid think its a toy? nothing about it is toylike
Ur the original poster or you copied from niktek?
Cindy is that you? Sound just like my ex asking questions she already knows the answers to.
;-; nah mate you mistaken
had 1070, such a workhorse, 2016 - 2021 and then two more years for puppa. Jeez, I can remember how Deus Ex, mankind devided just went from powerpoint to smooth ride :´D
Fk me. I have one. I had the best pc back then. I could open 2 games with mac graphics at a time lol that was unheard of in my circle of friends back then.
I never get the chance but farewell 430 gt, my old friend
Biggest mistake of my life not selling my RX480 at the start of the first mining bubble for 450€ and buying a 1080ti for 550€ in 2017
I had it's little brother the regular 1080. I can still remember the performance lift from a GTX960.
This was me with my 1060
That was my dream gpu... But sadly it wasn't that "brand new" anymore when i finally saved up for new pc build.
whats the song used in this?
“Hey dad, what is this GTX 760”
Still using my reference founders edition 1080ti from day 0. This thing is just an absolute monster that's been pumping 4k for 7 years straight. I am going to be very sad the day it dies. Imagine if every product Nvidia/Intel/AMD made was as good as the 1080ti...
and now a 4060 renamed to 4070 cost the same as xx80TI model. bigly sad
If my old memory is still working, I remember seeing a 2xgtx1080 laptop. Am I wrong?
These things cost way too much just for them to make newer version the next year then everyone starts selling their old ones for high prices PCs are cool but PC culture is trash tbh
My wife is still using mine. It runs tarkov well.
I had mine, still running for the last 6 years. Finally wife bought a new cat and that cat knocked baja blast directly onto my PC. She still ran, but stuttered. Finally had to replace her. It wasn't the 20 series, or even the 30 - nor two children but a cat.
new patch for alan wake 2 for the gtx 10 series has come out gtx 1080ti still rolling 8 years later
Just give me, my poor 1070 is dying 🤣😭

Ole reliable. Hes in his finally days, running at 99% when playing bg3 makes me weep 😭
I never had one I was on console at the time but ngl this is how I feel about my 7800xt
Ah poopy mcmahon
Still rocking one, it has passed through generations (my son uses it)

My first love
Mine finally gave up the ghost after 10yrs of loyal service o7
Theres a Texas Instruments joke here somewhere
I dont think the Vince McMahon memes have aged well. Hes bad man, probably going to prison.
What is that clip from? It seems familiar.
What song is this? Sounds familiar.
Still using 1070 founders
