Yep, I’m still rocking a 1080ti. It still plays games fine. I’m just now starting to look at new cards, but they’re ridiculously expensive. Is NVIDIA trying to kill pc gaming?
Not necessarily killing it but the future is geared towards AI and machine learning. People and companies working in that sector don’t mind dishing out 3K$ for a GPU, leaving desktop PC gamers in the dust.
Aside from Nvidia, I bought a 7800XT last Christmas. No drivers issues at all and plays almost everything at 1440p/120fps on medium-to-high settings. Don’t forget Intel’s upcoming in the GPU industry as well.
didnt they want to pull out again already? i mean intel.
honestly we need an open gpu…
They could be pulling out of the GPU market but I’m unaware of that. I still hear people waiting for the Battlemage lineup so I guessed they were still in with a planned release on Q4 2024.
Otherwise, thanks for the heads-up!
Same.
My 1080ti has survived three machines now. I keep looking to upgrade but the newer cards are so expensive now it’s ridiculous.
The greatest GPU of all time was and shall always be the ATi 9800 Pro.
I will be taking no further questions.
I had a 1080 for 6 years, was a great card. I ended up having to replace it since it started causing crashes when under load.
I bit the bullet and replaced it with a 7900 XTX, here’s hoping this one lasts another 6+ years.
Still running one of those bad boys in my pc 😍 Really looking forward to my next upgrade tho, the 1080ti is often a bit overwhelmed by the games I play.
When any of the next series of GPU’s are released in 9 to 12 months, you definitely should buy a new GPU, considering the 4060 beats the 1080 Ti in everything.
Almost everything. The 4060 has less vram which makes it fall behind in some circumstances.
Given the engineering differences, which title or application does a 1080 Ti beat 4060, and under what circumstance?
The 1080ti has the 4060 beat, just barely, in Metro Exodus.
Anything that requires signficant amounts of vram will see the 1080ti outperform the 4060, which despite being on a newer architecture also has a lower memory bus speed.
On your own personal system, what was you frame rate for Metro Exodus with a 1080 Ti and a 4060? Not looking at other people’s performance stats, on your system what numbers for 1% low do you get on both GPU’s? Have you tested the video quality difference for the encoder between NVENC on 1080 Ti and NVENC on a 4060? If so, which programs did you run on each of them?
I am not buying a 4060 to satisfy you when there are plenty of benchmarks available.
If you think an extra 3gb of vram makes no difference under any possible circumstances then you do you.
I bought a 4060 for the encoder plus gaming. I need both the best AV1 encoding and gaming performance, not solely gaming performance alone.
