A 1080TI still plays every release at medium or higher settings. /shrug
Unless you're worried about 4k or VR, I wouldn't upgrade anyway.
If you care about refresh rate it matters, not a lot of people can stand 30-40fps with hard drops to single digits just to be able to play a game.
I'm curious. What game do you think drops to single digits fps on medium settings with a 1080TI?
I was playing Darktide on a 1060 with minimum 30fps recently, and that game is optimized like absolute trash.
Starfield.
1080 is the minimum card, the TI is decently more powerful (30%), but you’ve got to make concessions on medium to get 30fps, and there’s drops.
To be fair though, that's a VERY new game and they cared so little about optimizing it that they went out and said "you're probably going to need a new computer to play this" ..
I hear the 1080ti runs Doom just fine 😛
Have a 1060 for vr.actually works fine
I actually prefer the crisp edges without as much post-processing effects sometimes. Source engine games look great to me, just minimal crisp and clean geometry. I find a lot of modern graphics distracting, but it depends on the game. I do love really pushing graphics for a game like Skyrim.
Modern game engines don't use the amazing SSAA (super sampling anti aliasing). Most have post processing anti aliasing like FXAA or TXAA which always makes edges look fuzzy. Source engine is one of those that still supports super sampling
I do 4k and VR on my 1080Ti with no issues, on the highest settings, too. That said, I don't do a lot of AAA gaming, so take that as you will.
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.
1070ti gang here. no problems playing anything on medium/high.
I don't do 4k though but VR is fine.
1080ti is still a beast
.....

I have never felt more called out.
If my 1080 gives up in the near future, I'll probably just give up AAA gaming. BG3 is literally the only game in the last 5 years I have loved which would require more than a potato to run.
They can pry my 1080 out of my cold dead 12fps hands!
1070 gang
1070 is comfy AF, been on one for so long now and I haven't seen any reasons to switch yet
>me still running a 970
My 960 runs Unity games like Overcooked at 4k, so I probably won't be upgrading any time soon. With a toddler I don't have time for AAA games anymore, but I'm guessing the frame rate would be painful.
970 here too. A true hero o7
Having to run -400mhz on the vram to prevent mine from crashing all the time but I'm hanging in there 🥲👍
It's still a decent card, probably can still do well at 1080p max settings in most games. Very similar to a 3060 in terms of performance, which is the card I have.
Depends on the games. My 980TI can still rock 3440x1440 in most of the games I play.
The fact that what I play is mostly metroidvania shouldn't be an issue, right? 😅
My 970 seems as old as the wheel if you read this kind of threads.
I really need to upgrade my rig…
This is how I've always felt, running on old second hand unstable rigs. But it's better than nothing.
I will replace my 1060 tomorrow for a 4060 ti. Really looking forward to it!
Congratulations! My 1060 6gb was a trooper and my favorite card ever
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.
Mine is a FE and still chugging along great. I did replace the godawful stock cooler with an aftermarket cooler with a GIANT heatsink. Temps never go over 60 anymore.
I remember when the 1080ti was top of the line. Good times.
I am still holding on to my 1060 6gb, and honestly, if not for AI stuff, I wouldn't even consider upgrading.
I'm actually considering upgrading to a 1070 (i have a 1050ti)
I have a friend that's always "waiting for the next one" who finally got a 3080 and meanwhile I play games with him on my trusty 1050
Im going to switch my 1060 only becuz of wayland
Literally the same thing I did, switched from 1060 6gb to rx 6600 just for wayland.
It's not worth it tbh
Gave up my 980ti for a 6700xt and am very glad. My i7 2600 (non-k) will be used till it truly shits the bed, going to frame it
I spent more time with my 2600k than I did with my threadeipper 1950x.
I remember when a new generation came out (I forgot which) and I just overclocked the 2600k till it matched the stock benchmarks for the new chip. It truly was a monster.
My old 1080 still handles a stream now and again.
My 690 still works for many games. 🥲
My 1050ti wont ever leave my side. I am going to die with that card beside my death bed.
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.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
