I literally just purchased a founders edition 1080 for $99 US on Friday from eBay! Wild that you would post this video now.
I love the look of the Pascal FE cards. Nice find
I am also still very happy with my MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X. Thank you for the testing and video.
You're welcome mate! Solid card
It's really funny how he pronounces 1440p haha, very good video! 1080 and 1080p are legendary gpus.
I bought this exact card at launch and man what a ride, it was my first flagship graphics card coming from a gtx 460.
Loved my evga 1080 SC. served me a good 6 and a half years from august 2016 - march 2023 when I sold it for $120 on FB market. I play 1440p so was starting to show its age on newer games. I have a 4070ti now and no complaints so far!
I rescued a GTX Titan X (Pascal) in 2024 from being sent to a recycling centre, and I have no regrets. As it uses the same GPU die as the GTX 1080 ti, but with 12GB of RAM, it still plays modern games very well. It can often out-perform an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT in modern games. It has more raw compute power than a 3060, and it has way more vram than the 6600 XT, and also a lot more memory bandwidth than either of them as well. The 1080 ti and both versions of the Titan XP are actually very well rounded, because they have a good balance of compute power, bandwidth, and vram capacity. The only problem with these cards is that they're very old now, so if you buy a used one, it might not last that much longer. Aside from the fans, which are not that hard to replace, the first thing that's likely to fail is the memory, and these cards are probably too old to be worth having the memory repaired, unless maybe you know how to do it yourself (it requires specialized tools and would take a long time to learn how to do properly).
I got extremely lucky. At first I offered to sell it for them, but they just gave it to me instead. Moreover, it wasn't actually heavily used over its lifetime (it was used intermittently for research purposes, and wasn't used at all since the beginning of the pandemic I think). It still seems to be in excellent condition. It might be good to re-do the thermal pads and thermal paste at some point though, as the thermal pads in particular have likely dried out a lot over the past 7-8 years.
I will get my hands on a Titan Xp at some point. I just need to get around to it. I've not long tested the 1080 Ti and that's holding on in there very well indeed. Nice resuce with that Titan too mate
what kind of monster that sends a Titan to a recycling centre?
it performs pretty similarly to an rtx 2060 super
I'd say it's closer to a 2060 non-super
Bought the exact same model you got (except I accidentally got the Gaming X+ version which has ever so slightly increased clocks) in 2020 and it was definitively the best buy I've ever done. It still serves me well
Glad to hear your 1080 is holding up! Nice find
I bought the same MSI GTX 1070 version recently for $70. I ran it in my old Xeon E5-1650 v2 6/12 rig and it ran 1080 like a champ. 1440 also with older games. Amazing cards.
I also tested the MSI 1070 not too long ago!
Amazing video. I loved it. Wanted to ask, I have been trying my hardest to research for an eGPU I've been trying to make. I've read online that, if the original PC uses an AMD iGPU, you will need to download specific firmware and/or drivers for an Nvidia card to slot in. Would you happen to know anything about making a computer "accept" this card happily?
If you're referring to an eGPU for a laptop, I wouldn't have a clue buddy. If it's for a desktop machine, it's just plug and play
First!
i still own one. its a great card and i have a rough time getting rid of it because i put it into a 9700k setup and dont wanna take it out
Hold onto it if you’re happy with it🙌
I know you usually do older GPUs, but I've been seeing 3060Tis and 6700XTs used for ~$250, and at that price we're almost back to pre-pandemic pricing for some very good performing cards. With current upscaling technology, you can even do 4K on those cards and it honestly looks great on a modern TV, especially if it's an upper midrange one with great processing like an LG C3 or something similar.
I have a 6700 XT. It’s due for another video to be fair. As for the 3060 Ti, it’s something that I can source
actually i got a 3060Ti for 200 Euro, its the cheaper variant INNO3d LHR version but it does the work and keep temps below 70C after undervolting
Rocking a rog strix 1080 for 3 years now. first pc I ever built so I bought everything used... Just to check it out. Been just sufficient for all my gaming needs. No regrets.
That old school Gaming X cooler from MSI was sick! I remenber dreaming about buying one for any chip and mounting it vertical to display on my Pc, now that im older and can afford it the gaming X models are a boring grey one that looks like a decepticon, the old one felt like an Optimus prime ready to turn into an 18 wheeler
This is my favourite MSI design, it's iconic imo🐐
Still running my 1080 but finally getting ready to upgrade as it's really starting to site it's age at 1440 x 3440
I was playing final fantasy 16 demo last night in 1440p at over 100fps.
Its a 3060 on crack and a mix of diesel. Shit jus works
Pascal is the 1.9 TDI of the PC gaming world. They just last forever
I just bought a gigabyte model and 2 evga 1060s for only $150 in mint condition cant wait to build something out of these
Solid deal, the 1060s could be good for an office machine upgarde. And the 1080 for a budget 1080p/1440p gaming rig
I love these MSI Cards i have the 1070 ti one 🥰
nice video i was running 1080s in sli until i upgraded to a 4070
Nice upgrade mate! How’s the 4070?
Ati 9700 was a bigger change over the previous generation.
It's a great card, still rocking my 1070ti (pritty much a 1080 without the gddr5x) in my main rig and for 1080p It's fine.
Me too and im wondering if i want a ti now and maybe just to screw around with sli. It works great and i can overclock it to get close to my 6950xt? Close enough to be interesting for sure, but i had it running only about 30fps in 4k and i didnt expect that at all.
my old 980 is still alive lol not using it might put it in my sisters build soon
6.22k Mr Yam 😎💪🏼
Hoping to get 10K by the end of the year🤣
I own lenovo ideapad y700 with 960m graphics card. Solid, robust laptop (one of the best build qualities on a laptop even compared to laptops in 2024 and the gpu ain't too bad either for few yrs back, played lot of overwatch, ghost recon online (best online game, sad they discontinued it), fortnite etc.
Now I have legion 5 pro with rtx 3070 (preordered it, that's how much trust I had in Lenovo from owning ideapad).
Runs like a beast for any triple AAA gaming and my programming tasks. However I wouldn't trade my ideapad for anything, still got it, just use it at times to watch anime or suttin
Yep people have lost site in the entire point of pc's! Its about being able to customize your settings! Im so damn tired of the mainstream media showing you ultra results and acting as if it doesnt do that its bot native 4k or its not native 1440p which isnt true it is. You can use medium settings or high you dont need ultra. Shit every game ive ever played in 1440p and 4k i cant see and most cant the difference beteeen ultra and high so i just dont get it. Well i do its so people dcroll into there description and cpick on there link for the highest end equipment and buy for them to make money 😉. Peoole fall for it and its sad that people dont get it. Its back to the days of custinization again in cyberpunk, alan wake 2, qukong and the new star wars comint so guys get used to it! Back to the good old days of customizing our own settings on our pc's yay!
This is especially true for modern games made in modern engines. Often the difference between medium, high, and ultra really isn't that big. 4K on medium with upscaling still looks incredibly good to me in modern games, and you don't need a very powerful GPU to manage 60-90fps at those settings.

Was it Butcher or Kessler
cant wait for the 4070Ti super to become a legendary gpu like this
I'm not sure if it will to be honest. The 4070 Super has a better chance imo
@@ProYamYamPC tbh the way i see if a gpu will last is vram lol since thats why the legendary RX 580s still kicking
@@ProYamYamPC The 7800XT and 7900GRE have an even bigger shot, considering their rasterization performance, and the fact AMD GPUs are usually cheaper on the used market.
@@beirch definitely. They will become the next RX 580 in terms of their legendary status
@@beirch You're absolutely right. They're both brilliant cards, and I believe they're AMD's best releases this gen
i just upgraded from my asus 1080 to a 7900 gre, i have no regrets but i will miss my 1080
Absolutely huge leap in performance too! The 7900 GRE is one of the best value cards this gen💪
@@ProYamYamPC i got it to play games in 40k 60 fps. when the 1080 came out i was able to do that. Only new games which I plan on playing are Space Marines 2, Starfield, and Stalker 2.
Only new game i currently play is Helldivers 2, with native settings I get about 55 FPS average 4k Ultra. So i am very happy with it so far
But i mostly play dirt rally 2.0 Xcom2 and bf2042. So its perfect for what I do.
Literally my only problem with benchmarks is they are for games which I dont play and have no interest in.
I plan on putting my 1080 on display! haha
the fact they lowered the performance by 70% by giving software updates XD it's sad really , well it's only done to sell the new ones .
It's not so much that, it's just that Nvidia doesn't really optimse drivers as well for older cards. If you went back and played older games, drivers won't be the cause of any potential reduced performance
@@ProYamYamPC exactly 100%
I am the TI version of the GTX 1080 TI 11G
4k 30fps ez pz with frame gen its beast with lossles scaling its monster
nice, watching this with my 10 year old gtx 750 ti lol
God tier GPU
My 6600 draws less power, cost 100$ less without the 50% sale I got for it and runs Cyberpunk at 72.5 FPS average.
There is literally no reason to buy a 1080 anymore unless you just want it as a sealed collectors item.
The Nvidia neckbeards aren't gonna like me.
I paid £95 for this 1080. The RX 6600 goes for £150+ used. So I should hope it’s better mate
@ProYamYamPC Don't move to Canada if you like 1080's then. The Exact brand 1080 in your video goes for no less than 200$ CAD on Ebay and over 500$ CAD on Newegg.
I got my 6600 new and on sale for 250$ CAD. So you might be right about pricing in your country, but not mine.
How is this compared with RX 580?
Much faster
bro start recording your videos in 60fps
doesnt feel right to watch game play at 30 fps
I record in 25 FPS because I need to record in PAL or else electronics and lights would flicker. Also my A7 IV has a 1.5x crop in 4K50.
Most tech TH-camrs shoot in 24/25/30 FPS anyways.
Just don't try Alan Wake
RTX 4090 is better and will age a lot better with 24gb gddr6x vram
Thanks for your incredible insight mate
