That combo is still rockin me today
I had the 8700k paired with the 1070ti, pretty much was my dream setup man. that combo lasted me 5 and a half years. they still ran strong but I had to upgrade eventually due to my rendering works

Loved my 1080 Ti. used it for almost 4 years, then it went to be used by three different friends as upgrades for them, before now settling in to be used by my cousin as a free upgrade to him, since he'd been using a GTX 970 yet.
I miss that card, but it's better in use for him than it would be collecting dust on my shelf.
Damn that card got passed around lol, can’t believe it’s held up that long

It slowly dropped the clockspeed every day until it reached 800MHz and then never gave a Video signal again... Rest in Shelf... And peace.
@@Technicellie thats the weirdest way i have ever heard a GPU die lol
It is absolutely crazy considering how old this GPU is and it can still play games at 1440p with reasonable settings and fps.
Amazing what happens when you focus purely on hardware performance ey? I still use mine and get above 60 on ultra settings for some current games.
that only means that games did not improve in graphics and innovation is stagnating.. imagine being able to run games in reasonable frame rates (above 100!) and resolutions (in 1440p!), even on ULTRA settings, on a GTX 580 from 2010, in 2017.
@@SamWulfignYeah. The funky AI features coming out recently are cool and all but nothing beats raw performance when it comes to longevity.
yape! And if you use FSR is even better!
Although it was a massive upgrade going from it to a 7900xt last year, i still could play every new game at 1440p 60fps+ with help of FSR!
And I paid more for my 4070ti than that card ^^ At least from what I understood 1080ti was cheaper on launch even in my country.
I picked up a watercooled GTX 1080 ti for 300$ at the start of the pandemic and I could not have been happier with it.
Start of which Pandemic?
NPC look away rhetoric such as that pivoted to crypto scams while small businesses were forced to close, and people forced to participate in medical trials to keep their jobs..
But hey you got your 'work from home' Zoom call larps and Door dash, so now we're neck deep in war profiteering and 34 Trillion dollars in debt, I guess the main thing is you got were happy with your purchase.
Copium
holy crap that is expensive better to get the Rx6700xt before or after the pandemic the GTX 1080ti is a huge mistake a 2/4k card now praised for it's weak 1080p performance awesome.
It is a damn old card and what comes next year the Praise of the RTX 2080ti because it can play still games in 1080p ?
@@allxtend4005the 6700XT was $800+ by the time it hit shelves, it was during the pandemic
@@allxtend4005 You're trolling right? Also the 6700XT wasn't released until 2021 which was 1 year after quarantine/pandemic started so you saying the OP should've have a bought a card that wasn't even announced yet and even when it was released the 6700XT was a bad deal and overpriced for a while even at MSRP (HUB didn't recommend it until the price dropped in late 2022). So getting a possibly $800 1080 Ti, since watercooling always costs more, for less than half the price only 3 years after it released is a deal. That's like buying a 4090 for less than $700 in 2025. Not gonna happen next year unless it's damaged and suddenly becomes useless for AI.

true so many trash games being released like for example starfield who even plays that garbage 😂@@tyler6602
The 1080 Ti served me amazingly with high FPS 1440p gaming from 2017 to 2023. Very few GPUs have had such longevity. A real monster, I don't think anything will come close to that level of longevity again.
The 20xx cards with DLSS enabled should see their performance longevity surpass the 1080 ti imo, the ability to customise your settings without much loss in image quality is gonna be invaluable in budget builds of the future I think.
thats how the 290x was for me. used it from 2013 to 2017.
@@ahiwalter9153 2080 Ti was thrashed too badly, when it wasn't even a bad card.
What gpu did you replace it with carl?
@@Bk_owns a 3080 Ti that i got heavily discounted.
I only replaced my FTW3 1080 Ti less than a year ago with a 7900 XT. The Ti is all cleaned, freshly pasted and tucked away in the original box as my back-up GPU!
Im just now upgrading my 1080 Ti to a 4080 Super, and it's still alive. Built my kids a new pc with the 1080 Ti. That thing gonna run until it dies, if ever. Has been my favorite GPU of all. Currently overclocked at +100 core and +500 mem. Running strong.
Edit: My replies keep disappearing for some reason. For those asking, I play at 1440p and have 165hz monitor. So, I would like to max it out with as many settings as possible. Hence the 4080 super. I can't justify the cost to performance ratio of the 4090, so I'll stick with the 4080s until something worth comes along.
what did you get and at what resolution are you playing?
@@jakacresnar5855 I chose 4080 Super. I have a 165 hz 1440p monitor, so want to try maxing it out with most settings enabled. I was going to use an i7-14700k. But after all of the recent drama with Intel (excessive heat/failing cpus/lower gaming performance than AMD with more power draw), I initiated a return on Amazon and am going r7 7800x3d. I once went from FX-6300 to i7-6700k and experienced much better performance, so blindly thought Intel was still on top (CPU wise). It seems like the tides have turned and AMD has Intel beat for CPU gaming performance. The 3d cache really does make a difference there. It will be a purely gaming build, so I don't care about getting higher benchmark scores or productivity stuff. Can't wait to get everything set up.
@@jakacresnar5855 You can play at any resolution. Even 4k albeit at lower fps.
At this rate, I'll be hanging onto my 1080ti till it dies.
@@jakacresnar5855I typed a long reply and it seems to have been lost lol. In short, I got a 4080 Super. My monitor is 165 hz, 1440p. I'd like to max it out with the most settings possible. Currently returning my i7-14700k after all of the recent drama with Intel. Going for R7 7800x3d instead.
Man, what an incredible card it still is. For anyone who still has one working, they are still sitting pretty with performance all this time later
Yup! That would be me. Mine is still going strong.
1440p, 90fps in most games, I couldn't be happier with it. If newer GPUs don't drop in price, I'll be using this thing till it dies.
@@UltimateGattai Same here...
Yeah still running it!
1080 ti is the goat. No contest. This this was a beast. 20xx, 30xx and 40xx are underwhelming af by comparison.
I had _the_ beast; EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3. Sold it off last year to upgrade to a 3080 Ti.
Still using my 1080 Ti FTW3, stupidly reliable even today considering I run 1080p
Still rocking my 1080 Ti EVGA too, absolutely love.
I upgraded from an Evga 1080Ti to a Zotac 4070Ti Super Trinity Black a few months ago. I paid around $720 for it, which ironically is around how much I paid for my 1080Ti in 2017. It's amazing that I was able to get just under 7 years out of a graphics card.
Still rocking my Gigabyte OC black 1080Ti today. Might upgrade to a 3080 later but it handles 1080p like a beast like it did in 2017.
@@RoadRunner592 4070 Ti Super is just at the borderline what I would consider as an upgrade. Personally I would never upgrade to anything lower than 4080, but seeing that the new gen is comping up soon. I would rather upgrade to either a 5070 or 5080.
Just picked up a 1080Ti today for $170! So excited to test it out and do some OC & modding on this beast
great 2nd hand deals out there now! got in late and have been using 1080ti last couple of years.
Had mine for 5 years, no complaints, now it lives out it's days in my dad's "office" PC...rest easy my friend, you were the best!
not just the performance but the silicon is incredible.
1.2V ~2150MHz and still running a couple times per week.
Pascal sort-of carries the "overclocks like mad" torch that the Maxwell series did
I ran my 1080ti all the way until Sept last year. That EVGA 1080Ti SC Black was a BEAST. Used it to push 3840x1080p which is a hair more draw in pixel count than standard 16:9 1440p. Most games I'd run a mix of High/Ultra to try and get a solid 60fps in more demanding things.
It's now mounted to my wall above my two monitors. I'll never get rid of it.
I'll run my 4080 FE for at least 6 years as well. And just turn settings down as I go until I'm ready to upgrade again.
The 1080Ti is the last anomaly card Nvidia will ever make. Which is why it will always remain the GOAT.
I'm still rocking my GTX 1070, and am still getting totally playable experiences (usually a minimum 60+ FPS at 1080p) in all the games I play.
As somebody who was affected badly by the huge covid and mining price hikes of GPUs: my 4 year old 980Ti died in early 2020, I downgraded to a 780Ti then almost purchased a launch day 3070 but the website crashed and I lost it.
I've only owned a 1080Ti since mid 2022, as my 780Ti also died so I made an 'emergency purchase' for the 1080Ti, and I've been very happy with it.
The only problem 1080Ti owners have is the upgrade path, everything within a reasonable price margin has less VRAM and you don't want less VRAM with games from the past few years.
A 2080Ti is tempting since they have more productivity performance outside of gaming than a 3080.
A 3080 is tempting as it has a huge gaming performance increase as shown in this video, but you loose 1GB of VRAM unless you find a 12GB model. However the power consumption is scary to see. Now 1GB doesn't seem like much but I've used over 10GB of the available 11GB before so it is possible to be an issue one day.
Honestly the 1080Ti will keep on lasting until they die and I probably will not upgrade unless forced to again.
Best decision ever in 2017!
I have had mine since 18th of August 2017
i7 8700k @ 4.80GHz (1.235v Adaptive LLC 7)
Kingston HyperX Fury 4x8GB DDR4 @ 3333MHz CL16-18-18-38 (1.35v)
MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G @ 1835MHz +500MHz Memory (900mV)
I have been tinkering with the FSR 3.0 FG Mod by LukeFZ too for a longwhile and its truly amazing how much life the GPU still has.
Dragon's Dogma 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077, Dying light 2, Remnant 2 they all runs insanely well.
Also that FAT 11GB GDDR5X memory + 352-bit bus is such a clutch, GPU was so ahead of its time.
ALSO all my drives are SSDs, so it genuinly feels like such as high-end machine still.
OS Storage:
1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe
Game Storage:
1TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD
2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD
2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe
I don't really get why you wouldn't upgrade though.
Clearly your PC cost you a lot back in 2017, you got 32GB low latency ram. 5TB of SSD game storage. That's an expensive build on the SSDs alone.
But why then are you still rocking a card that struggles with 1080p 60hz on the latest games.
Idk would it not make more sense to spend less on SSDs and buy a 1440p high refresh monitor.
Like no hate if you just don't want to invest loads into a PC. Nothing wrong with 1080p 60hz if that's all you want to get out of it. Or maybe you mostly play older games. It just feels like you could have a epic 1440p 144hz modern gaming PC if you didn't buy as many SSDs and sold what you have now and just put a few hundred $ into a new build. Which again, not everyone wants to spend money on it. But you clearly spent a lot as is on an overkill amount of SSDs so you're willing to invest money into it.
Idk I'm just confused as to the reasoning lol
What a legend, nice. 👍👍
@@HoneyTwee Because upgrading it wasn't worth it. The only worthy upgrade is when you get twice the raw fps (without gimmicks) and it was actually giving me more FPS in older titles than newer cards ( newer cards are never optimized for older games like for example Homm5/6, CSS, Gothic 3 etc. etc. ) so I got up to 1k fps 1080p ( all settings low) in CS:GO with my 1080 Ti. At that time no card could match it. Though I believe the 4080 series cards can now match it. However I will only upgrade to the next gen RTX 5070 and up. Only then it would be worth an upgrade for me.
@@HoneyTwee I totally understand where you are going with this.
As for the SSDs they all weren't bought at the same time, only picked them up when they had really good deals.
Example:
Samsung 1TB 970 Evo Plus that I use for my OS I picked up for 169.90€ back in September 2021 (this was on the more expensive side as it was a local retailer).
Samsung 2TB 870 EVO for 169.90€ in March 2023 (same retailer)
Samsung 1TB 870 EVO for 72.84€ in May 2023 from Amazon during the period were prices dropped for SSDs.
Samsung 2TB 970 EVO Plus for 103.14€ + 11.46€ SSD-Heatsink both from Amazon in August 2023
As for the Monitor setup I have:
1x Asus VE247 24" 1920x1080 60Hz 2ms (DIY Wall Mounted as 4th screen)
3x Acer Predator GN246HL 24" 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms (monitor arm listed below)

@@korana6308 in newer games though the new cards are really really performant.
You're talking about double the FPS. Even cards like the RTX 3080 are double the FPS. Whilst cards like the 4090 are double the FPS again. (4x the FPS and that's not even ray tracing performance, or the fact that newer Nvidia architectures benefit from 4k, or the fact that newer games often see way way more frame rate increase due to newer cards being more optimised for in newer titles)
it's very much not uncommon to see GTX 1080Ti at 1440p ultra getting 30fps whilst the $450 7800XT gets 150fps.
Sure cards like the 4080/4090 costs a lot of money, but the 1080Ti was $900 adjusted for inflation. These are both very expensive cards for their time.
You can't give credit to the expensive 1080Ti then crap on the modern expensive cards for being expensive.
Also the RTX 5000 series likely won't be much better. Minor architectural changes and minor node shrink. Unfortunately as I'd love another 80% performance jump in 1 generation to make path tracing actually viable for developers.
Still have the 1080Ti MSI X Trio running in my rig. Really can't complain about my experience even today.
I regret not getting the GTX 1080 Ti instead of my GTX 1080 in 2017
Sorry for laughing meant to be a grin to buy one now. Its alot about money. They are both good cards and all my mates had and have 1080ti cards. Still rocking a 970 here and cry too. Thinking 7900xt as I haven't got oodles of money
Gtx 1080 is still fine for entry level 1080p gaming.

There will never be such a card again since Nvidia will never allow it to happen ever again.
And by such a card I mean a good card at a good price that is not only good for the moment its purchased but also for the future.
Yeah… 1080ti was / is bad for busines!
There's also Intel coming up soon with their next gen cards, and AMD def had their "1080Ti moment" with 6800XT/6900XT, albeit with a caveat of lower quality upscaling and worse raytracing.
Watching this video through a 1080 Ti, still my main rig's GPU. I have been planning to make a new build even before corona times. But crypto craze prices, then the poor generational upgrades, and again, prices, well, here using the very same build now ~7 years old, still kicking :-)
I'm in the same boat. In 2017 I built a new Ryzen 1700x paired with an EVGA FTW3 1080ti. I would have upgraded a long time ago, but like you said, crazy prices, or underwhelming hardware. Well, the only upgrade I did was to pull out the 1700x, and insert a 5900X, which doubled my framerates. It will have to do until sanity returns to pc gaming.
R7 5800X + GTX 1080Ti +165 Hz, QHD Monitor
-> I am very happy with the QHD performance
so many things are wrong first of all QHD monitor with 165 Hz is not working very good with a GTX 1080ti because tihs gpu is not having even 100+ FPS performance in 1080p nowdays.
You dont belive ? Go and play Newer games on Ultra settings and yes this card was a Premium high res and FPS card back then but now it is old has no futures build in the drivers and no Future itself.
I have myself a 165 Hz WQHD monitor and my GPU is 4x or even more that powerfull then your GPU and i can say even for me 165 FPS is not in every game, and before you say something the monitor just deliver so much Frames as your Frames get it does not matter if you have a 165 hz monitor and get 60 or 80 FPS because you get then 60 - 80 Frames displayed, still dont belive it ? go buy good Monitors with Build in Hz and FPS counters.
@@allxtend4005 what kind of a weird first phrase is "so many things are wrong" ?...
I only said I am using a 1080 Ti with my QHD Monitor and that I am perfectly satisfied... So what's your point mate? And where do you see that I say I am playing the newest games on high settings with 100+ fps? Or that I want to?
Which GPU do you have?
And having 165 fps in every game 🤦...
I got a 165 Hz Monitor to have the opportunity to choose between high fps and solid fps (70-80) depending on the Game I am playing. Expecting 165 in every game only because it's a 165 Hz Monitor... Well that indeed is naive.
And the last part of your text is Bs... Where have I ever mentioned something like that?
I'd be interested to see the 980Ti release price/performance and performance increase over the 780Ti, vs 1080Ti release price/performance and performance increase over the 980Ti - as I am of the mind the 980Ti was the last great card. EVERYONE talks about the 1080Ti, the GPU price increase that started at the 10 series was like 50% LOL.
I payed 700 for my 980ti and 780 for my 1080ti. The 1080ti was a slaughter to the 980ti and close in price. The 1080ti is goat. I still have both these cards and the 980ti is slightly better than a 1060 6gb in performance. The price increase didn't start till the 20 series btw.
With only 6GB of VRAM, 980Ti performance would very poor on average.
I had a 980Ti so I skipped the 10 series. The 6gb of VRAM on the 980Ti really hold it back these days. 11gb on the 1080Ti for about the same price as the 980Ti make it the GOAT.
So I actually did something similar to this when the 3080 came out, because I wanted to know if it was actually as great as everyone thought it was or if it was just being propped up by how bad Turing was. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find reliable 7 series data to compare with at the time. As an aside, the GPU price increase from 9 series to 10 series was 50 bucks, not 50%. 970 -> 1070 : $329 -> $379 and same thing for 1080 and 1080 Ti.
The conclusion I came to is that the 1070 and 1080 Ti (and 1080 once it dropped to $500) were the real deal. The 980 Ti was actually fairly bad in comparison. The 970 was just so good and so cheap that the 980 became one of the worst value GPUs in the past decade and the 980 Ti was meh and barely beat out the 2080 Ti which wasn't exactly known for stellar value.
In case you were wondering, by my calculations the single best value GPU in terms of FPS/$/year relative to my baseline of the 970, with year being how long it took for that generation to release, is the 1070. It would be really interesting if someone with access to more data could add the 7 series GPUs though and see how it changes.
980Ti performance is similar to that of the gtx 1070 but with 2gb less vram it will hit the texture wall even earlier.
I was using the Radeon 7970 for a looong time before buying the GTX 1080, now my kid is still using the 1080 without any problems. I just love how the high end GPUs from the old days keep up for so long!
Best thumbnail I’ve seen in CZcams all year.
Why most latest reviews not include or rarely include 3060 (most common gpu on steam), not to mention 3060 12Gb 1:55 ?! 😔
Because 12GB card is actually ~ 25% SLOWER than a Ti version with 8GB of memory!
because its about NON-TI 3060 8gb and 3060 12gb, that has 2 times more users then TI version and top usage chart on steam. In some regions cost reasonably less then TI and additional VRAM can be useful for work, like it was with 2060 12Gb.
While 3060 12gb is up to 10-15% faster then 3060 8Gb in tests, since use 192bit bus compared to 128 bit
Hey old man Steve! Nice to see ya!😄👍
I have to say you look like Daniel Baldwin in that thumbnail!!
Cool video!!
THAT was the GOAT. I had the pleasure to own it and felt the need to change only when 4000 series came out.
This is one example when they do not choke the card with tricks like memory bandwidth, ridiculous bus bits etc... it was fury unleashed.
Mi also had eceptional ASIC and with a custom air cooling from Acrtic could overclock very well.
Gave it for free to a friend of mine still using it.
These results are insane if you think about it. Nearly 60 fps at FHD high/ultra 7 years later in modern games? Man, can you imagine back in 2017 what a 7 year old card could do? It probably couldn't even run above 30 frames at 1080p low settings, truly the GOAT
Still have my GTX 1080 Ti paired with the also legendary i7 2600K powering my Windows 7 machine for older games which pretty much all run at 4K 60 max settings, awesome stuff!
no way that i7 2600k can push it fully
Oh man Steve, I've been so busy with my PhD thesis defense I've haven't been able to see anything on youtube and today I opened the app and just 17 seconds you released this gem! Thanks mate!
Still using my original EVGA 1080ti that I bought on release. Haven't taken it apart yet to replace thermal pads/paste and it still runs pretty cool and does what I need it to do!
Same here!
Bought mine in 2016 together with amd 1800x and I'm still using it in 2024. 2500€ for 8 years of pure joy. I just recently started thinking of replacing the computer together with a 4k oled upgrade.
I freakin love this card, the EVGA 1080ti SC2 served me well these last 7 years but its finally time to pretty much build a whole new rig with the 5080 later this year.
Nice to see David Bellamy on your thumbnail
That's why i bought the 4080 super, going to age just as well.
💯
Extreme doubt
I did the same, coming from 1080ti to 3080 12gb to 4080super, but i don´t concur with you, 4080 super is not a 1080TI alike. Maybe the 3080 12gb. I bought the 4080 super because of VR and RT(even that i don´t like the path tracing games, only quake 2 :) but i must have the best hardware with the money i have. 4090 to expensive ). Now i can play almost at ultra, at native Resolution (HP G2)using openxr, in all car sims.
Before I upgraded to the 4080, the 1080ti is was an incredible beast of a GPU as I've had it since I bought my first custom PC back in 2017 and did me so well over the years.
Love your theme tune. Never change
Still using mine... and could not be more satisfied in any computer component I ever purchased over the past 25 years.
Currently on the 2 Fan version of the Gaming X reviewed here! Intend to keep it for another year for 1440p on slightly older games.
Watching this on my PC running my GTX 1080 Ti makes this revisit extra special :)
Perhaps for a video with fewer cards to compare per video, perhaps compare generational improvements for the cards still supported by drivers. For example, 960 vs 1060 vs 1660 vs 2060 vs 3060 vs 4060 and so on for the different tiers (60, 70, 80, 80 Ti, Titan/90)
It would be cool to see a long term value comparison between buying the top end and waiting to upgrade or upgrading to the middle every time.
Had one since release. Got it for £500 and has been running 1440p ultra wide gaming until this day! Legendary card. RIP EVGA
I've got a pair of EK blocked EVGA 1080TI SC2's sitting on my bookshelf that made for a raster powerhouse back in the day.
Thanks for the revisit.
Just got a msi gaming x 1080ti since I sold mine years ago. Putting this beast in my LAN pc. Love this card!
I was saving up for an uppriced 1080 Ti when a friend in the gaming industry called me. He knew I planned to upgrade my outdated 970 and told me he was looking at something incredible and that I needed to wait for the next generation and get either an 80 or an 80 Ti.
A few months later the 20xx series was announced. I pre-ordered a 2080 the day that sales started. It was also the same price as the 1080 Ti would have been.
Still have my GTX 1080 Ti after upgrading my motherboard, RAM, and i7 13700K. Wanted to upgrade my GPU but the scalping and poor cost to performance lately made me hang on to my 1080 Ti and spending all of that money on every other aspect of my build.
I really like the look of the Montech king '95. That is an awesome looking aquarium like PC case. I also really like the optional front panel change up that allows fans at the front. Test that case please?
When buying a brand new PC 2 and a half years ago I was looking for second hand GPUs (it was the shortage era due to mining). The plain 1080 was around 500 euros and the Ti go figure. FInally I bought a simple 1660 for +300 euros that I still own and has served me like a charm. Middle 2023 I bought a brand new 6700 XT for a little more than I paid for my former Nvidia card.
Still rocking my 1080Ti since August 2017. Out goes the stock Zotac 1080Ti Amp fans and in goes 2x 120mm Corsair SP fans cable tied to the heatsink. Great temps never hitting more than 60 degrees. Btw, i'm not gunning for max FPS since my games are mostly simulation games like Railway Empires2 and are always on V-Sync on 1440p. As long as it can keep me on 60 FPS i don't really see the need to upgrade. There will never be any other cards like the 1080Ti. Da GOAT!!!!. Long live the KING!!!!
siiick. another 1080ti revisit. these have been dropping in price recently and i been looking at old benchmarks to see how they stack up today. its still a beast imo great for a beginners pc build.
7970 is the best card ever released.
Still rocking my Aorus 1080ti coupled with an i7 8086k that I built at the end of 2018, I picked up a 1080ti because there wasn't much difference in non RT performance compared to the 2080 and there was no stock of the 2080 anywhere when I built the system!
11GB VRAM is what helps this card handle modern games IMO and I just find myself using a bit of upscaling now to keep settings on ultra at 1440p.
why the 1080 ti 11gb is legendary and it was the biggest NUKE bomb gpus of all time , well back then HDR 4k native 40-60 fps single player gaming on a 55 inch OLED TV was a dream come true + VR Gaming vs the 980 ti 6gb , and for our surprise it managed every single game back then till 2019 - 2020 with MAX OUT SETTINGS with zero problems in the biggest eye candy AAA games like FARCRY 5-6 / RESIDENT EVIL 2-3 -VILLAGE / HORIZON / HELLBLADE / NEED FOR SPEED / METRO EXODUS / battlefield 5 -1 / assassins creed odyssey-origin / red dead redemption / Star Wars Battlefront 2 / watch dogs / Devil may cry 5 / plague tale / final fantasy 15 , and the list goes on , in comparison the current gen RTX 4090 will give you only 30 fps on Alan wake 2 max out without the vaseline DLSS + framegen ..... , and normally the 1080 ti = rtx 2070 super but with superior vram in 4k it equals the rtx 2080 and better than a ps5 in raw performance but sadly like everything in life , gaming studios follows the trend and new tech , so they started to use new instructions in the render pipeline and new methods like mesh shading plus GREEVIDIA stopping the true support of it's old architectures like always , which is why you see the 4060 is gaping the 1080 ti in newer games especially the latest games based on mesh shading like alan wake . so yeah legends never die .
I love the commentary in the Helldivers part lol
Upgraded from a 1600X to a 5800X3D but I'm still running my 1080Ti :-D
That thumbnail is so good!
Old man Steve! Been enjoying the "our boring lives" section of the podcast!
I appreciate their work, as always. Although, I wish they'd done a temperature comparison. Say, even just against the 4060, at the same fan RPM. There's got to be enough people with cooling or noise concerns (or even just curiosity) out there to justify some amount of comparison, surely?
Just had a Gigabyte 8Gb OC extreme edition 1080, tipple fan and was also a beast. Retired that for my current Gigabyte 7900XT 20Gb thou I don't believe I'll get 8yrs like I did with my old 1080.
Awesome content, appreciated.
Wouaaa ! I'm amazed by the fact this 1080ti can run smoothly Star War Jedi Survivor in medium 1440p with FSR 2.0 at 60fps (and more !) for a GPU who have 7 year ... impressive ! With FSR this card continue to be usuable ! People who paid it in the past made a very and strong deal for the time they can use it. Sorry for my poor english ! (I'm french !). Love your review video, keep up the good work !
please include this data in all future GPU reviews. :D
I recently had a fan go out on my 3080 and put my 1080Ti back to work to keep the managed democracy going. Dropped down to 1440p and all was well. Never an issue with that card.
I owned two of these for 5.5 years water-cooled MSI Seahawk version loved it so much lasted soooo long 😂 now on two 4090s and expecting similar longevity but it's not nearly the same value proposition
Same card here! I ran it for over 4 years before replacing it with an RX 6900 XT. It needs to be refilled but otherwise still works fine. Eventually I'll get around to that and then put it in a spare PC. Definitely one of my favorite GPUs.
That hair dye works well. The 1080ti was impressive. Another card that is definitely old now but the rx580 held up well, drivers would come out and keep improving performance, i had a good few years out of it, and sold it for what i bought it for and i definitely had it longer than i thought i would.
"That hair dye works well." lol
Yeah! And I am still holding on and playing via my GTX1080Ti. Totally stable and well performing. Don't need more than that.
Cheers.
I remember owning one of these, I'm impressed that even with modern titles it still holds up
Still got a 1080 Ti in my gaming setup, I barely use it anymore anyway and it still serves me well enough for 1080p/1440p. Best computer hardware purchase decision I ever made.
I bought mine when covid hit and and still use it everyday. Evga Geforce GTX 1080Ti FTW3 i7 8700k 32GB 3200ram. Still runs like a beast. Undervolted it a few weeks ago.
I'm still rocking my GTX 1080 TI I plan on upgrading when the 5000 series come out later this year or next year
I hate most intros.
I love your intro.
It's so peaceful.
I thought the GOAT was something like the voodoo 2 or the ati 9700.
I think 1080ti is GOAT because it can still run most of the games, but there was a big problem with it, the mining boom prices which made the 1080ti unnacessible most of the time, that's why we don't remember it back from the day.
I have googled earlier best gpu's of all time, and yes, the 9700 PRO was on the #1 spot, and i would say the same, it was the card that changed everything.
I still have and use that Galax HoF 1080Ti you looked at all those years ago Steve 👍
Back to you Steve....thanks Steve
Good to see Steve went with a natural picture of himself this time, no digital de-aging 😘😂 j/k, love the work!
Recently upgraded from my 1080Ti to the 7800XT. Nice to see I'm keeping my power usage the same....
Still rocking my 980ti and Ican enjoy all my games without issues, love it!
HU is in my top 3 tech channels...
You are legendary!
Love you guys...
What are the other 2?
The 1080ti has a ton of overclocking/undervolting headroom too so can be power efficient even now. I bought a crappy blower 1080ti for £115 and it can do 1900mhz at 0.9v and +300mhz on the memory which is slightly faster than stock and only draws 200w while gaming at around 60c. Its still pretty efficient when tweaked considering the 3060 can draw 175w with similar performance and is much newer.
pascal´s still kickin´ - great to see
I still have this GPU in my system and it works great for me since I'm still gaming at 1080p and mostly play older games from 5+ years ago. Unless this thing burns itself out I don't see myself upgrading unless I start playing some newer games where it can't quite give me 60fps.
When i got my new rig i had my 8600K + 1080TI rig up for sale then took it down an hour later, best thing i ever done because that rig is still gaming away @1440P no hassle.
Theres even times i wonder why i got a whole new rig :) its still that good.
Still using mine since 2017, although I'm considering upgrading to a 4070 ti super
I just replaced my EVGA 1080ti in February there after 6.5 years of faithful service, and it's staying with me as a backup, what an incredible card.
Interesting this video popped up. I'm about to finally put my Aorus 1080 ti out to pasture this weekend and install a 4070 ti Super. The 1080 ti has been faultless for me for nearly 7 years. The longest I've ever had a single component in my PC.
I have "upgraded" since but did not sell or trade in my 1080ti hybrid. I kept it for nostalgia. I wish I had held on to my AGP voodoo cards.
It stands with how I feel about the ATi 9800 Pro from a long time ago, Voodoo 2, and the original 8800 GTX. All legendary cards, for different reasons.
I was using two gtx1080s in SLI back in the 1xxx series days. Good ol SLI..
My very own card getting another revisit! Thanks Steve.
Shame the PUBG benchmark was dropped, it's the main reason I'm still running it to this day.
