[Gamers Nexus] The Greatest GPU of All Time: NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 2024 Revisit & History

17 comments

Yep, I’m still rocking a 1080ti. It still plays games fine. I’m just now starting to look at new cards, but they’re ridiculously expensive. Is NVIDIA trying to kill pc gaming?
- Not necessarily killing it but the future is geared towards AI and machine learning. People and companies working in that sector don't mind dishing out 3K$ for a GPU, leaving desktop PC gamers in the dust.
  
  Aside from Nvidia, I bought a 7800XT last Christmas. No drivers issues at all and plays almost everything at 1440p/120fps on medium-to-high settings. Don't forget Intel's upcoming in the GPU industry as well.
  
  didnt they want to pull out again already? i mean intel.
  
  honestly we need an open gpu...
- Same.
  
  My 1080ti has survived three machines now. I keep looking to upgrade but the newer cards are so expensive now it’s ridiculous.
The greatest GPU of all time was and shall always be the ATi 9800 Pro.

I will be taking no further questions.
Still running one of those bad boys in my pc 😍 Really looking forward to my next upgrade tho, the 1080ti is often a bit overwhelmed by the games I play.
- When any of the next series of GPU's are released in 9 to 12 months, you definitely should buy a new GPU, considering the 4060 beats the 1080 Ti in everything.
  
  Almost everything. The 4060 has less vram which makes it fall behind in some circumstances.
I had a 1080 for 6 years, was a great card. I ended up having to replace it since it started causing crashes when under load.

I bit the bullet and replaced it with a 7900 XTX, here's hoping this one lasts another 6+ years.
- That's sounds more like a power supply problem.
  
  I thought so too, but the PSU tested ok
