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.
1080ti is still a beast
.....
.....
I have never felt more called out.
They can pry my 1080 out of my cold dead 12fps hands!
My 970 seems as old as the wheel if you read this kind of threads.
I really need to upgrade my rig…
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.
I am still holding on to my 1060 6gb, and honestly, if not for AI stuff, I wouldn't even consider upgrading.
I remember when the 1080ti was top of the line. Good times.
My old 1080 still handles a stream now and again.
My 690 still works for many games. 🥲
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 recently upgraded from a 1080ti to a 7800XT. Sold the 1080ti on ebay, so hopefully it will continue on with a new life.
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
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.
I have one of these I ended up never using because I didn't realize my power supply wouldn't handle it. By the time I decided to build a whole new PC, I ended up having enough saved up to get an RTX 3080. Video cards were super hard to find at the time so I decided to hold on to the 1080 in case of emergency. Do graphics cards matter much in something like a dedicated Minecraft or 7 Days to Die server? If so, I might build one with it.
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.
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
Same but RX580 so a bit less behind.
I will never give up my rx480
Me just now. Just got 7800 xt after all these great years.
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 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.
*980Ti
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.
My 1070 is doing fine, thank you very much. I haven't felt any need to replace it.
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.
