    I got a GTX 1060 6GB for $150 recently, and I'm very happy with its performance. I mean, with my poor eyesight, better FPS than that or higher details is just a waste of money because I don't see any difference.

    The 1080ti is the reason that no flagship card will ever be as comparatively good as the 1080ti. It's going to remain a decent card for another 5-8 years most likely, and having a decent card that stays relevant does not sell newer cards 😅

    I looooove how quickly prices have come down. After Greg Salazar's video on $500 budget builds, I went through eBay, Amazon and NewEgg and somehow managed to squeeze a GTX 1080 into that budget. I noticed the 1080 Ti sells for $350 frequently now. That's crazy. Although I believe those specific models had some issues with VRM cooling and tend to blow up. So take good care of it!

    I had two different 1080Ti cards, both EVGA -- an SC2 and an FTW3. I'm sure there's people who disagree, but I REALLY liked the look of these particular GPUs. I also miss that you could get flagship performance in a 2-slot cooler design. I get that TDPs have gone up, but it feels a bit excessive when 3060-class cards are getting 2.5 or 3 slot coolers. Maybe it's the brute force nature of going bigger for more cooling vs more finesse and engineering to deliver a smaller cooler that still performs adequately.

    Can confirm this on my side as well, I just needed to drop max vcore to around 700mv in the curve editor and performance dropped by around 3-5fps, power was around 260-280watts (compared to 330-360watts) I used the new remastered Hellblade senua's sacrifice and horizon zero dawn to test this. I generally mine with it for now and game on my Asus Scar G17 (RTX3070/5900HX) though. My desktop is still stuck on a R1700 and a 1080p 75Hz screen so the laptop ended up much more efficient and giving me a even better experience This will in time be my gaming setup after I get the 5800X3D and a 144+ good 3440x1440 34" screen. At first I hated the rtx3080ti for its high power draw, but now I'm okay with it at 260-280watts for what amounts to the same performance.

    I got myself this exact model of 1080ti about a month before 30 series launched (up from a 1070 i gave to a friend as they were using a GT740). A solid card that likes to self boost to 2Ghz or so, plan to use it 'til it breaks basically as I don't need faster. Crazy thing about the 1080ti is there's like 5 gpu die revisions (350-K1 through K4 and the last made was the 351-K1-A1), with the FTW3 the early ones had vbios switches names Master and slave (mine and yours are examples of that), later ones were named normal and OC.

    Older cards aren't cheaper to make. At 1080 ti is pretty inefficient in terms of the process of making it. It would still cost more to produce a 1080 ti compared to a 3060 ti which uses a much smaller die, is more powerful, and power efficient. Not to mention it wouldn't make business sense even if it did work that way. I do agree Nvidia is holdign back cards at this point. A 3060 itself should be better then a 1080 ti at this point not matching it.

    Dawid, also remember that the older 1000 series cards are able to utilize AMD's FSR in games that have it (like Cyberpunk 2077). It can be quite helpful. I have an older GTX 1070 in one of my backup machines, and just for the hell of it I ran Cyberpunk 2077 on it and played around with settings. Native 1440p was terrible, of course, but turning FSR on I was able to squeeze playabl;e rates out of it. I settled on 1440p Medium with FSR on Balanced and was able to get around 75 fps on it - very playable, and not terrible-looking. For a game like that on 1440p I think that's amazing. I personally love the new upscaling technologies and what they can do for older cards like these. My main rig has a RX 6800 but it's fun just to play around with the older cards to see what you can squeeze out of it.
