@@imo098765 That's what I said man. I don't expect increases like this maybe ever again. The headroom in manufacturing just isn't there anymore. We once again are hitting a wall here but this time we run against the boundaries of physics itself. There is just no way to go much smaller hence why they start to stack chips. But then we will run into thermal limitations too. Maybe we get some sort of paradigm shift in form of a new material be it Carbon nanotubes or bismuth or whatever but I don't see silicon improving that much more. Sure the marginal architectural improvement here and there and even a few more node shrinks to maybe sub nm nodes but not much more. We'll see but given that the clocks start rising once again and power consumption at an all time high I don't think they can go much further with current tech. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Very nice comparison. I bought my 1080ti back in early 2018 for $500. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Managed to skip right over all the gpu shortages and its held its own.

I'm really glad I saw this video, and want to thank you for creating it. I'm waiting for various parts to arrive in the post for my new PC build. I haven't built a PC in years and had to do way too much research for it. I was quite happy with all the parts I chose, but was unsure if the 3060ti I was forced to buy (I didn't want to crap out on any of the other components, or sacrifice future upgrade-ability) was actually a decent card or not. I'm happy that it seems to be an upgrade compared to an aging flagship. I know that probably sounds weird, but in the past, I have seen new midrange cards that fail to outperform older (and therefore cheaper) cards. I was really worried that this may have been the case with my new purchase. I am relieved to see that I didn't waste my money on an immediately outdated GPU Very informative video. Thanks again.

The 1080ti was just the absolute king of kings. I can't believe how incredible it was when it was new. I mean, the 3090 is impressive, and I'm sure the 4090 will be even moreso, but they're not on the same level as the 1080ti. It could run everything 5 times over, and it was a hell of a bargain. You have to get a third mortgage for a 3090 and it's not that much better than a 3080 or especially a 3080ti. The 10 series in general is still the peak of graphics cards in my book, a very, very solid lineup.

Personally, if I had a 1080Ti, I wouldn't be upgrading just yet, it seems OK still, and since my monitors only support a maximum of 1080p, playing at that resolution would still be perfectly fine. It's also interesting that the 1080Ti has a higher base and boost clock, as well as more video memory (albeit GDDR5 instead of GDDR6), but the RTX 3060 outperformed the 1080Ti. I was honestly expecting both GPUs to perform at a similar level. In any case, this doesn't really matter to me, since I won't be using a desktop PC anytime soon due to lack of space - my HP OMEN 15 with i7-8750H and GTX 1050Ti will still do the job nicely, assuming the CPU doesn't cook itself. HP were not known for providing adequate cooling to power hungry chips; in fact, I'd say the heatsink is barely suitable for the i5-8300H or the i7-7700HQ, let alone the more power hungry i7-8750H.

For example, last december I upgraded my CPU(+mobo,ram etc) from a 4790k, to a 12700k. Let's just say, there's been a few 'generations' between I skipped :D Fortunately, cpu's arent all that important in gaming (most of the time) But all in all, I still think the 1080/1080ti are the best cards ever made.

There's months until 4090 launch and mid ranged 4060 or whatever will not come out before 3-4 months from 4090 launch so you are looking at Q3 2023 at earliest If you can though, hopefully might get new gpus at launch- but extremely likely above MSRP still

The 1080ti was one of the best GPU ever compared to what we had before. I've been using it till I got my 4090rtx. With a tiny bit of overclocking it was able to manage every game at 2.5k@60fps, with very high or maximum details. The only reason for I decided to upgrade was RTX and the fact that 4090 is again a huge step forward compared to 30xx cards. Good video btw.

Its nice to see how well the GTX 1080 ti holds up. I would recommended for videos like this to enable GPU power consumption in rivertuner/afterburner to show how much power is being used between the two and show if their is a tradeoff of going with older used cards compared to new.

@Tomazack

Жыл бұрын

There is definitely a trade-off since the 1000 series GPUs were way less efficient than the 3000 series, meaning you'll use quite a lot more energy for less performance. If that matters is up to you. If you look at mining, the 1080 Ti uses 170W for 43 MH/s, while the 3060 sits at 115W with 49 MH/s.

I did this same exact upgrade, from a Gigabyte 1080Ti OC to a MaxSun 3060Ti Terminator, and even though I loved my 1080Ti, I think it was worth the upgrade, the RT + DLSS support is nice and most importantly the temps and power usage are much lower. Newer games like Control, Cyberpunk and even Elden Ring run better as well.

Just upgraded from a 1660TI to an RTX 3060TI 0 regrets at all

I got a 1080ti rog pair with r5 3600xt and 32gb ddr4 3600mhz, got not a single problem and i still play at 1080p so almost every game will run over 60fps. The only way i will consider an upgrade is if i found a great deal on a 3070 or 3080 but im pretty sure that wont be the case.

Did you update yet? I'm in the same boat, running a 1060 and thinking about upgrading

I got a 9900k and a 1080ti on a custom liquid loop. The i9 is basically auto clocked to 5ghz all core (4.8 for avx); the automatic boosting of the 1080ti gets me pegged at 1949mhz core, and since the GPU block, a peak *hot spot temp* of 65C. Given that difference, I almost don't ever want to go back to an air cooled graphics card; especially since the standard coolers now are fatter than a George foreman grill and still can't keep these chips at anything less than 90C.

Also, I've not had a new system before this in the best part of ten (literal) years. I was having to make due with a Q6600 and a gtx 285 for that long. So, yes, I splurged hard. Because I had no idea if I was ever going to be able to make such an upgrade again. What's hurting me is, when I upgraded the system, I also upgraded to a 4K monitor. Final fantasy 15 made my 980ti cry. The newer yakuza games already make my 1080ti cry, and I know I'm going to also want to play ff 7 remake. System shock demo was thankfully forgiving, and has me hyped for that game too at least.

i'll never forget using my 1080ti strix oc for the first time, was excited as f**k. doesnt feel the same with my 3080 tho somthing about the 1080ti was just a one off, anyone who owns one will know what i mean

Matter of fact. I was hoping you do this video cause i still believe that the 1080ti is a legend even against the newer generation. Nice work 🙏❤️

This channel always surprises me how capable older cards still are. Obviously the 1080ti was no slouch when it was released but pretty cool how it pretty much keeps up with a much newer card

For me I want at least a 5x jump in performance. When I went from a potato laptop with Radeon R5 iGPU to a budget gaming laptop with GTX 1050 3GB back in 2019. It was a night and day difference; I could literally max out games that I could barely play at low before and still get high frames. The fps boost was literally 5-10x difference depending on the game I played at FHD max settings. And with FSR, I don't even need to upgrade to another laptop or switch to desktop for another like 3 to 5 years.

I just grabbed a 1080 Ti. I'm loving the performance from a 5 year old card. Especially when they are cheap!

Honestly, I'm extremely happy with my 3060 Ti Founder's. I only sat in line for 3 hours to get it at MSRP, and it wasn't cold or rainy either lol. Really though, it really is the best price to performance ratio and was definitely a good upgrade from my old (but actually pretty reliable) GT 720 haha.

For GTA V, you might run into a CPU limit there, increase the settings (turn MSAA ON) or increase the resolution and I think you will see a bigger difference.

Hmm I'm actually surprised with the results I had the 1080ti just squeaking past, especially at higher resolutions. But there you go. Personally I wouldn't go from 1080ti to 3060ti best seeing how the 40 series is now. IMO.

Hello nice and kind man. Maybe it might be interesting to see the power draw too? everyone dealing with higher electricity bills and a newer gpu might use less watts for the same framerate. In some countries the power bill makes a big difference depending on old or new gpu hardware! I used to connect a wattmeter to my computer power socket. Thats a small decive to show you how many watts are drawn at any given moment. It can also calculate it into $. Very intersting to see how much more money i pay for a bloom effect or different resolution xD

Haha half way through renovations. Every room is half finished

In the future, try to say the difference between two cards in percentage, instead of just calling a number of frames, which can mean different things. For example, in this case, Cyberpunk runs a huge 31% faster on the RTX card for average and 33% faster at the 1% lows. Which is a subtantial chunk of extra performance. More than the paper specs would imply. Calling it 15 more frames makes it sounds punny, but 15 is a lot when you're in the 40's. This type of uplift was more from 1080TI to a 2080TI when that launched. But Pascal not getting any optimizations for newer games is increasing this margin. If you have a card that outputs 5 frames per second and another does 10, the difference is double between them. Saying that card has 5 more frames doesnt show the actual image

Excellent video, I had my eye on a 3060ti for a while but got a Series X instead as I couldn't get hold of one. At least I know how it will perform now with a mid range CPU, it looks like it will exceed Series X performance. What board do you use with the 12400f?

I went from a 1050 ti to a 3060 ti & it is quite a noticeable upgrade. Eg. Going from about 75 fps in Fortnite on mostly Medium settings to over 120 fps on a mix of High & Epic settings. I don't have a 1440p monitor yet but plan on buying one possibly on Black Friday for a nice discount. :) & my friend @ work has a gtx 1080 & he isn't in a huge rush to upgrade either. It's still a decent card for it's age. Neway thanx for sharing. :)

The 1080ti belongs up there with some of the best gpus of all time. It’s had fantastic value over time considering how well it keeps up in modern games. It’s only really worth upgrading to a 3070 or above right now if you can get one at a reasonable price. Otherwise hold on to it and get a 4070 or AMD equivalent when that launches.

Sad part is it's only kept up via brute force. It's been disheartening seeing RX and RTX cards it used to beat before slowly catch up and surpass it with updates and optimizations that Nvidia seem to completely ignore for the 1080ti. It's almost like Nvidia doesn't _want_ us keeping these cards.

You should have listed the number of transistors and the node size in the early specs screen comparison. Some people really dont yet understand things like improving performance through other manes besides wattage, or the absurd number of transistors they stuff in chips these days. Some cards have over 20 billion transistors these days, it's insane. I think more people should talk about that.

I went from 1070Ti to 3070 and I'm very impressed. The 1070Ti held its own still, especially since I was using it on a 1080p monitor. I think the 1070ti up to 1080ti can run pretty good at 1080p maybe for another coupe years

The 3060ti is my current card and I'm loving it. I just finished Half life Alyx on my Quest 2 using virtual desktop to play wirelessly.

Not sure if you've seen but there's a mod available for Cyberpunk 2077 that replaces DLSS with FSR 2.0. I think that would make for a pretty interesting video.

I love watching your videos even if i can't afford to buy a graphic card.

I built my first pc in may with rx6700xt and ryzen 5 5600x and I have to say it’s really great so far. I upgraded my cooler to a noctua and my temps/frames everything run really smooth. I did a lot of homework on what to get and I feel like I could have waited to get a 6750 but I can’t complain

I upgraded just a couple days ago from a Quadro K2200 that had it running for almost a year to a 1080ti zotac edition that found on Marketplace for less than 200$ , it had prb with thermals but it was a quick fix by changing its Thermal paste and it runs pretty well and cool .10/10 i recommend it in 2023 i play on 1080p very high settings 120fps constantly

got a brand spankin new 1060 a couple months after it came out as a "budget" gpu for my mid range computer over the last few years i've slowly purchased parts for my newest build being a 5600x and a 6800xt and it feels sooooo nice

That made me feel a bit better about my purchase of an 1080 ti when I paid £520 for it a year ago, but like you say it was during the height of the graphics card shortage and I needed an upgrade on my aging GTX 960. The other thing I am pleased about the 1080 ti is how it doesn't give off too much hot air and is pretty silent even under heavy load, unlike the 960, although it is paired up with an i9 9900k and 32 gb of 2600 mhz DDR4 ram but only have a 24 ins 1080p monitor. I've no desire to play anything on 4K yet.

This is such a great video has me getting more excited for the current crypto crash and the prospect of 4 series coming out. Depending on releases I am either going with one of these or going to do a brand new 40 series….

I have been on the RX580 for years and it still plays all the latest games exceptionally well, most on 1440p, some I have to drop to 1080p. I just took the plunge and won a 3060 TI on eBay for £310 ($370), waiting for it to arrive next week :)

Thanks for the video, good insight on 1080TI holding is own. Do you think is it worth to upgrade from a GTX1650 to a RTX3050?

Hard lesson learned for me. I bought a 3090TI and realized you can’t get smooth FPS on ultra in 98% of titles because games are optimized for medium or high settings and not ultra. So now I run medium or high with a beast cart. I could have just saved my money and kept my old card (2080) that I had. Be smart and save your money.

I'm also pretty surprised how my rig is holding up even with a weaker card than I had before. Went from the 1070 ti to the 1070 then to the rx 590 fatboy oc. Gotta say with balanced/quality fsr and medium settings Cyberpunk is awesome at 1080p. Been enjoying Cyberpunk a bit more as of late. Still get the occasional crash when changing settings but thats like it.

I've been doing 4k gaming since launch with that card. only with more recent games have I had to settle with 1440 or even 1080. My friends usually think I'm lying until I show them, it's even more of a dream with sli games. plays like a modern setup with games that were designed for 2. too bad not many games support sli.
