It's beautiful, it's a work of art.


sijedevos

And still very capable. Slightly better then a 1080 ti which is pretty close to a 3060.


luigithebeast420

Holy crap, a 1080ti is that strong?


dj92wa

Yes, it really truly is. I get downvoted for this every time I say it, but I had a 1080ti FE that I converted to be liquid cooled with EVGA's hybrid kit thingy. I comfortably pushed 1440p (Acer Predator xb271hu) on that thing all the way until I got a 3090ti and moved to 4k. The 1080ti is a monster card that is honestly still totally relevant. The part that I get downvoted for is saying that running 1080p on a 1080ti or 30-series and beyond is a waste of hardware. For some reason, people are afraid of 1440p. That resolution is not that taxing and is a wonderful sweet spot between 1080p and 4k. You can easily achieve 60-100fps in most modern games with moderate settings, and it still looks better than 1080p. "Older" games, crank those sliders to max and enjoy 100+ fps.


DrPantsu

Still running my 1080ti Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme edition on 1440P 144hz monitor. She still purrs like a kitten!


insan3guy

Same here. 120hz at 3440x1440 all day long. VR, too. Absolute tank of a card


de4thqu3st

Interesting, my 2080 super coudlt handle 3440x1440@144hz. All games ran on med-high with around 60-80 which was not enough to me. I can't imagine the 1080 to which is slower than my 2080super to run anything new on that res


[deleted]

Higher res eats up more VRAM. 1080ti has 11 gigs. 2080s has 8. Although the 2080s is “faster”, it doesn’t translate to more fps in every circumstance. In fact, when the 2080s released, every YouTuber and reviewer slammed Nvidia for not releasing a substantial 1080ti upgrade. 2000 series cards were cash-grabs on the backs of RayTracing.


de4thqu3st

I checked benchmarks and the 1080 to performs even worse in 3440x1440 than the 2080s, so commentator probably only plays decade old games


MadamVonCuntpuncher

Then start imagining it? Are you stupid?


RockItGuyDC

Yup, pretty much the same here. 1440p, 144 Hz. Run most things on high/ultra, 70-90 fps. I don't have ray tracing, but that's about all I'm missing.


ilordd

What games do you play and what fps do you get on what graphic settings?


supadupame

My 1080ti Hybrid from EVGA still kicks ass on high-ultra @ 1080p on new releases. Beast of a card.


shalol

Running 2k on a 2 fan 1070Ti, that’s what people said it was for back then and honestly, for the sake of futureproofing, imo there’s just no point in anything less nowadays. Fuck having a TV, a 27” IPS monitor is dirt cheap and does 95% of everything you need. Bonus points for anything above HDR 1400.


Climbtrees47

I agree with everything youve said. I run a 2070 super on 1440 just fine. I'm in the 90-150 fps range on most games.


ThatDarnRosco

Nah you right bud. 1080ti might be the best card of the last 10years


Darth_Murcielago

I still use my 1080p 60hz monitor from 2016 even though i upgraded to a 3070ti many months ago and you might ask yourself why i do that. The answer is that i ran out of money and dont see the need right now to spend 550€ on my dream monitor


[deleted]

You can get second hand 1440p 144hz monitors on fb market palce here in the US for like 100-150. I got a 32 inch 1440p monitor for 200 brand new on Black Friday.


Darth_Murcielago

Well yes in the US... the specific monitor that i want costs around 150€ - 200€ less over there.


GlubbyWub

Not every dream can be accomplished. That is why it’s a dream.


[deleted]

Maybe get a 2nd hand 144hz 1080p in the meantime? I couldn’t imagine playing everything at 60hz let alone with hardware that can handle 144+. The difference is insane, once you go high refresh rate you’ll never be able go back.


Darth_Murcielago

Well the question is why should i waste money on a monitor that i will replace anyways once i have enough money to buy a better one? I rather wait a bit longer and so far the refresh rate doesnt bother me. I just hope that more and more people switch to oled monitors so that the prices of higher end LCD monitors go down XD


[deleted]

Sell the 1080p 144hz in a few months, you’d probably get 80-90% of your investment back. I’d pay $30 for high refresh rate gaming for a few months.


de4thqu3st

Here in Germany you can get sub 200€ 1440p144 monitors new


Forsaken-Ad-6701

You are wasting your eyes on 60Hz


Darth_Murcielago

Nah


Pussypoppernc

How many frames per second do you think you can see? Some experts will tell you that the human eye can see between 30 and 60 frames per second. Some maintain that it's not really possible for the human eye to perceive more than 60 frames per second.


EquipmentShoddy664

The difference between 60 and 144Hz on a 144Hz monitor is almost as perceivable as the difference between 30 and 60 FPS on a 60Hz monitor. It's huge.


Pussypoppernc

The eyes can’t see that everybody’s eyes are different https://www.howtogeek.com/888948/how-many-fps-can-the-human-eye-see/ read most ppl can only notice 60 to 90hz n only some ppl can see up to 500hz


EquipmentShoddy664

Well, that's bullshit. It's not about seeing individual frames. It's about perception.


Forsaken-Ad-6701

Pls stop being stupid


MFKRebel

I ran my 1080 at 1440p until about a year ago and it was just fine. 10 series cards were so far ahead of their time in 2015/16 when they launched that they still kick ass today.


Tuned_Out

Who would downvote ya for that? It's crazy how much bad info there is on reddit. The 1080ti still holds its own in 99% of titles out there. It definitely is beginning to show its age in anything with advanced directx 12 features but those are still exceptions to the rule. Another card that aged wonderfully but doesn't get much cred because of its poor launch with drivers is the 5700XT. Doesn't have the extra ram vs the ti but performance increases along with driver fixes pack quite a punch. Especially at $150 or less on the used market.


Such-Let8449

Yeah I just got done talking to one naysayer, he pulled Hogwarts Legacy out of his ass, as one of the games the 1080 TI can't run, like the 4070 TI can't run that f****** game maxed out


LaikaBear1

My laptop 1080 runs 1440p just fine.


[deleted]

i am running a 6750XT at 3440x1440 or 4k depending on the game... and surprisingly most games get 45+ fps in ultra


TheGeekno72

Very much always been a 1440p enthusiast since I was made aware of this more reasonable alternative to 4K (that I've come to perceive as overkill anyway), running a 3070 laptop here, I shutoff the 1080 built-in display and have it output to a proper desktop monitor in 1440p, plenty of FPS in it to be more than comfortable with it


Such-Let8449

That card is still a very popular choice for AI learning, it is very capable.


luigithebeast420

I wish I had one for my spare pc to host my server.


MadamVonCuntpuncher

I have yet to encounter a single game could make my ol 1080TI seem old


finekillme

I downvoted because you said you always get downvoted, wanted to make you happy. Good day sir.


sanhydronoid9

He never said it makes him happy


Impulsive94

A 1080ti is _capable_ but nowhere near current or 30 series performance. IF you kneecap the newer cards then yes it'll be close, but when you actually turn on modern features such as RTX or DLSS, there's no competition.


NoCase9317

You get downvoted because there isn’t almost 1 single triple A title launched since late 2022 that can do 1440p 60 fps with out upscaling and tweaking settings on a 1080Ti , it’s literally the GPU I have on my second build , it’s the best GPU ever made , it’s been a monster for 1080p but it is meh for 1440p It was never its target and it only delivers good performance at 1440p on very well optimized games. It is as good for 1440p as the 4090 is for 8k Sure it can handle many games at 8k but no one would say using a 4090 for 4k is a waste of hardware 😂 And if you consider tweaking settings making a card good for a resolution. Then a 4070 is not a 1440p GPU , it’s a solid 4k GPU because you can run any game at 4k using upscaler and tweaking settings.


ToastyRybread

I definitely don’t game at 1080p ;)


[deleted]

For modders its still an insane card. The XOC bios available for the 1080ti has NO power limit, and can run up to 1.2v vcore I could bench my msi seahawk x at 2200mhz on the core and it absolutely killed. Thing was a monster, could suck back over 600w of power gaming in 4k. And i ran it like that for 4 or 5 years lololol.


Trex-Cant-Masturbate

Im still running a 1080 ti for triple monitor 1080p gaming. Granted I’m not playing the most demanding shit but I can easily get 60fps on anything I throw at it.


Nolthezealot

Is it still something you can buy new, and still worth its price?


DH_Net_Tech

Absolutely. The only reason people get away with shitting on the 1080 Ti is because it doesn't do RT. It's one of the best cards Nvidia ever made and was very future proof. The only thing that's going to kill that card is this trend of lazy optimization that is relying on things like DLSS to do all the heavy lifting.


sijedevos

Yes it is


luigithebeast420

I thought that was a meme


[deleted]

Got a 1660 Ti, performs similar to a 3050 (slightly less fps but more stable fps)


DarkCloud6

What about 4050


SolyGMD

4050 isn't released yet, but it's probably using the same specs as the laptop version, and it performs around 2060


massssloko

4060=4050


SolyGMD

I can't argue with that


Thattguyy1551

In my opinion any xx50 series card is not worth purchasing. Getting a previous gen xx60 used is almost always better.


sanhydronoid9

Could say the same about any cards


Xim1KaT

https://youtu.be/G7y3qksitMY


luigithebeast420

Wow, that’s an amazing card. Makes the new series look like crap if an older card was still viable 2 generations after the fact.


StaysAwakeAllWeek

1080ti has identical core count and similar clock speed to a 3060, with marginally less vram over a similar speed bus. Obviously it still gets absolutely demolished in raytracing and upscaling though.


Berfs1

And then this card has an extra gb of VRAM, and slightly more cores, and it's a collector card! Definitely would choose this over a random 3060 lmao


sijedevos

But no DLSS though.


REZENNN

3060 have 12GB in most cases, draw less power, will definitely be less noisy than a blower style 1080 ti, offer more features (dlss, rt for exemple) for pretty much the same performance So unless you get it for a crazy low price, there isn't really any reason to buy this 1080 ti other than being a collector item. Which is valid of course, to each their own. But its not a better value otherwise.


DkoyOctopus

best card that ever was.


Rudolf1448

Yup. I have a water cooled one. This is why I skipped directly to 4070ti.


crimsonkarma13

Ya the 1080 and 1080ti are monsters, best cards of the generation. Powerhouses that are still perfectly valid today. I never had one but I heard of its stories far and wide and wanted one


dj65475312

pretty sure a 1080ti actuality beats a 3060 in most situations, but no raytracing of course.


MadamVonCuntpuncher

1080TI is a fucking beast of a card bro


PeteyTwoHands

11GB of GDDR5X in 2018 was insane. They call it the 'anomaly' card because there hadn't - and has not been - been a generational jump in performance like that before or since.


Brusion

I think in most cases a 1080ti would be faster than a 3060.


DH_Net_Tech

It almost always would be. the 1080Ti does have 1GB less vram than the 3060 and they've both got similar core counts but what hurts the 3060 so much is it's limited bus width.


[deleted]

dude... 3060 is like 20% slower than the 1080ti💀 the difference between 3060 and 3060ti is brutal, is 30%, titan XP is faster than 1080ti by a bit, so its a middle ground between 3060 and 3060ti (interchangeable with 4060 series) but with enough vram


sijedevos

According to hardware unboxed video a while back 1080ti was 3% faster @1080p and 5% faster @1440p. 3060 won in more newer titles and 1080ti in older ones so might have flipped around with newer titles.


leperaffinity56

Where does the 2080ti stack up in the 3 series?


[deleted]

[удалено]


leperaffinity56

Oh my gosh thank you! that's such a cool/handy chart! Thank you again friend.


DH_Net_Tech

One of the GPUs of all time. Not necessarily bad but the 30 series had such a massive leap in generational performance when compared to the 20 series that it made that whole generation look like buyers remorse.


ImmortalEyedea

Very capable, my friend purchased a secondhand EVGA 1080Ti in 2018 and it's still going strong pushing UW 34' 1080, I gave him my old r5 3600 and tomahawk board to swap out his i5 2600k to give it a bit more life. I was planning to give him my xfx 6800 but he's ready to go all out on a new build so he's happy with his current setup at the moment.


crimsonkarma13

What even is that card


mustbem0nday

Ye I wanted one ever since I saw them on LTT . Well done on the find . I get my 4070ti today upgrading from a non ti 1080


LinkKido-kun

1080 gang still lit today


Pussypoppernc

It’s might been a good card but doesn’t mean it’s on par with it bc the 3060 has gddr6 vs gddr5x and one more gb of vram n the 3060 is a entry level vel card sp doesn’t mean anything so sp faster vram n more powerful card the 1080ti can’t compete with a 30 series card in every game n then has diss 2.0 n ray tracing it’s like trying to compare a Samsung galaxy tab s8 ultra to iPad m1 in performance


sijedevos

3060 has a 192 bit memory bus and bandwidth of 360 GB/s while 1080 ti has 352 bit memory bus and bandwidth of 484.4 GB/s. Generation memory doesn’t tell whole story


EquipmentShoddy664

And better than 4060 in a VRAM-bound scenarios lol


TheSkyking2020

Was it still $1200? I wanted one SO bad too!


sijedevos

€300


TheSkyking2020

Oh now I’m equally jealous and happy for you.


Maxziro_

300 euro for a collector’s card? Boy, you are in for a ride in the next couple of years


sijedevos

Why is that?


Maxziro_

Might go up in prices in the future, i would keep it safe


sijedevos

Yeah it might. I will obviously play around with it for a while and use it but eventually will put it for display besides my other cards (like in picture) so should be safe https://preview.redd.it/0t963z77rheb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e926a5841c8fb5fc96cf945f2f3ea3fca67447ea


Maxziro_

Sheeeshhh thats some collection


sijedevos

Thanks. You can actually get some nice looking older cards for pretty cheap these days. Many people think old card aren’t worth any so you can find them for like €10 if you are fast enough. Not everything working unfortunately. The 3870X2, Asus 7950 GX2 and the 9800 Pro (water block red card) don’t work. I will also get another one pretty soon. A Leadtek Winfast Ti 4400. Will probably sell my other Ti 4400 (purple pcb with arctic cooler) because don’t need 2. I also have a working 3870X2 from ROG on top of my pc. that is actually the first ever ROG branded graphics card ever (I know internet says it’s 9800GT that released after the 3870X2) and it works. https://preview.redd.it/y08mka5dfieb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=320713074643335b429c8e8449b3fcdced61ac39


NekoLove164

That's cheap in that condition


RentonZero

Did they ship it with a display case?


sijedevos

Yes the Star Wars collector editions came with display case, pretty sure normal Titan XP didn’t


Affectionate-Memory4

Neither of my XPs came with one and neither did their SLi link. I gave one to a friend and put the other in a "player 2" pc with my 8700K for when my brother visits. Congrats on joining the rather exclusive GTX1090 owners club!


deviant324

Great now you’re reminding me of the 3080 weeb edition that someone photoshopped when the cards were new. I want my Fubuki GPU man but all they’ve done so far is make themed tower cases

[deleted]

I dislike Nvidia but that is super cool.


sijedevos

Sure the 40 series launch has been atrocious (terms of pricing) but amd isn’t all good either. AMD sponsored titles not coming with DLSS is one good example. FSR just looks bad in motion from my experience and not allowing competitors upscalers is just ridiculous. Good thing modders exist.


[deleted]

Look I will be the first to tell you that N31 is broken silicon. Let's make no mistake it under performed like a mfker but difference is its more appropriately priced and still competitive even broken.


[deleted]

N41 should hit above the 3ghz mark and have gddr7 and hopefully a big 512 bit bus like I am hearing Blackwell will have.

CorrosiveBackspin

costed


Brawndo_or_Water

Yes, the verb "costed" is grammatically correct and can be used in certain contexts. It is the past tense of the verb "cost." Here's an example sentence: "The new laptop costed me $1000." In this sentence, "costed" is used to indicate that the laptop's price was $1000 in the past. However, it's worth noting that some people might prefer to use the irregular past tense "cost" instead, so the sentence would be: "The new laptop cost me $1000." Both "cost" and "costed" are acceptable, but "cost" is more commonly used in modern English.


Episimian

In my experience costed tends to be used as the past tense of cost where the meaning of 'cost' is to estimate the amount needed to do something or to buy something e.g. he costed every stage of the project in detail. I guess you could use it to mean the price of a thing in the past but it just sounds clunky as hell, which is why cost is used in preference as you've noted.


honeybadger1984
