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

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.

@@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.

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.

Still have the 1080Ti MSI X Trio running in my rig. Really can't complain about my experience even today.

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.

Crying in 1080. Was too greedy to go TI at the time. It's still zooming away today. ❤

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.

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.

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.

Nvidia came out with a Graphics card that is priced a bit high, but overall, it's a good product at a good price, and people somehow think they made a mistake. Goes to show you what kind of world we live in.

Love your theme tune. Never change

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 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.

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.

Thanks for the revisit.

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 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!!!!

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

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.

Best thumbnail I’ve seen in KZread all year.

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.

Still using mine... and could not be more satisfied in any computer component I ever purchased over the past 25 years.

I still played games at 1440p with my Asus Strix GTX 1080 (non-Ti) until about a year ago when I jumped to the 4080 (*crying in money spent*). The GTX 1080 was a bit slower than the Ti but still played most games fine (at least with a more modern CPU than the 4c/4t Intel i5 I started with)! I got it as a slightly used returned package with a significant discount in 2017. I've passed it down through a firend to someone who still had something like the GXT 970. I hope the card will serve a few more years to the new owner!

Upgraded last year from a GTX1080 to a 7900XT. What a massive upgrade! Still, the 1080s were workhorses with surprisingly long lives.

Really impressed how the RX 5700XT overtook the 1080ti over the years. Didn't expect that.

That thumbnail is so good!

Nice to see David Bellamy on your thumbnail

Awesome content, appreciated.

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 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.

Just got a msi gaming x 1080ti since I sold mine years ago. Putting this beast in my LAN pc. Love this card!

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.

Recently upgraded from my 1080Ti to the 7800XT. Nice to see I'm keeping my power usage the same....

I bought my 1080 TI in 2021 around a crypto dip for $300, been using it daily since. I don't play single player AAA titles, i play rocket league and Albion and some FPS once in a while, don't need all the fancy bells and whistles, just FPS. definitely the best GPU ever released

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.

HU is in my top 3 tech channels... You are legendary! Love you guys...

What are the other 2?

please include this data in all future GPU reviews. :D

Yeah! And I am still holding on and playing via my GTX1080Ti. Totally stable and well performing. Don't need more than that. Cheers.

7970 is the best card ever released.

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

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?

Upgraded from a 1600X to a 5800X3D but I'm still running my 1080Ti :-D

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.

pascal´s still kickin´ - great to see

Still rocking my 980ti and Ican enjoy all my games without issues, love it!

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.

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.

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 !

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 using my 1080 Ti in 2024. While I mostly play e-sports games or older titles, I have no issues running them at 4K even. And at high framerates at that

I was using two gtx1080s in SLI back in the 1xxx series days. Good ol SLI..

the 1080ti Had a good run. Im still using mine in a non -gaming machine and appreciating its performance to run a small LLM. the vram capacity will keep the card relevant in non-gaming workloads for a while.

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.

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.

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.

I held onto my 1080ti until the start of 2024, when I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to a 4090. The 1080ti served me exceptionally well and has now moved into my girlfriends PC, where it continues to put in work. It originally cost me £400 second hand from a miner. The value for money will never be matched.

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.

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.

Watching this on my PC running my GTX 1080 Ti makes this revisit extra special :)

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.

I have the gtx 1080ti, I recently bought an RX 6900xt but I can't part with the 1080ti, it will stay here with me as a reminder of the best card I've had so far!

Man, I love the 1080 Ti. It's my favourite GPU of all time, and I'm glad I still own one.

Old man Steve! Been enjoying the "our boring lives" section of the podcast!

I have to respectfully disagree with your title. I have both 1080Ti and 2080Ti ( both bought used at $700 USD about 1 year after each release, at each time, both cards retail at $1000 or $1200 new). 2080Ti aged much better than 1080Ti for me. In all aspects.

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.

I hate most intros. I love your intro. It's so peaceful.

Had one since release. Got it for £500 and has been running 1440p ultra wide gaming until this day! Legendary card. RIP EVGA

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?
