@@ronnie3626 sure, on paper it is only 28% faster. However, faster memory, dlss, and higher memory bandwith made the card even faster. I had a 2080 non Ti myself. And believe it or not many games were not that optimized for 10 series, unlike most games for 20 series.

I was there with my 980ti HOF. RAN everything ultra. I still have it. A few days ago I bought a 7900 XT NItro+. It's a great card, but I expected better. I get around 30-40% better performance, maybe 50% with 2k resolution, it should be 2.5x better, but it is not in most tests I had. Part of it is bottleneck by the 5820k 4.3ghz 3200mhz 32gb ram which doesn't like high fps that much. In bf2042 and many games it sits at 100% or the single core performance is not there for higher fps. 4K is good, but not perfect either. It doesn't feel as good as back in 2016 when I built my PC. Maybe if I got a new processor with it or the 7900 XTX or maybe a 4090 would have had a different experience, but the prices are also steep...
@@MrTeknownbro if youre cpu is bottlenecking quit thinking of upgrading your graphic card again upgrade youre cpu We wont have such massive uplifts anymore it technical not possible yet
@@Nicx343x I returned the 7900 XT and waiting for the XTX Nitro+ to arrive, in a couple of days. I oc my CPU to 4.4 GHz, but I will upgrade my CPU as well to a 7800X3D. While it doesn't come cheap as I have to get a new MB and RAM. Anyway, the performance I was getting with the 7900 XT was not bad, even with this CPU. What troubles me were the low 1% from the relative slow single core performance. The 12 threads for multicore are not used in many games, but those who use it like bf2042 overwhelm it. While it runs at low at 160 fps or so, in some situations it goes to 80 or under which is annoying. I also got a new Alienware 34 inch qd-oled 3440x1440p. I was about to get a 4k, but I think having less pixels, while not as chrisp, it will keep me going for a longer time. 7900 XT is a beast of a card and XTX will be just the gap I wanted. Yeah, from what was a 1000 euro upgrade is now a 3000+, but given the fact that this will be fine for 5 years, 600 euro a year for a huge upgrade is decent.
@@Nicx343x Depending on the game and for most single player games, the 5820k handles 100+ fps in 1440p high-ultra with the 7900 XT. Diablo 4 for example gives me 150-200 fps on ultra maxing the default 350w settings on the GPU at 2800-2850 mhz.
That's my current GPU, not exactly the FE model, but the MSI Gaming one. I'm very happy with it, given that I got it recently and my previous graphics card was the mighty GTX 970. Shout-out from Cuba Kryzzp, your videos are always fun to watch.
@@wenzhang7730 I still have this combo haha, even the Corsair PSU is still running - 8 years and shows no stopping. Actually everything is running, the Samsung SSD, the NH-D14 cooler, it's hilarious.
Good video. Maybe you could add "a BIG game of the year" from the year the card was released when reviewing older cards. Ex: For this card, it was the card to have to play Batman: Arkham Knight when it was released in 2015 just to show what the card could do when it was released.
card is such a beast man. Legendary for its time, I remember looking at one in Fry’s Electronics at 16 wondering if I’d ever be able to afford a card that cool one day. Time flies
Got the 980ti on release 2015. Brilliant card but I always wanted more performance at 2k. This week I upgraded to the 4090 at 4k. It was a pleasure Mr 980ti, you served me well
@@Jay-jk3zy it sure runs well! Feels good to have such an upgrade. For me getting the 980ti 5820k in 2016 to upgrade from laptop i5 gen 2 555m was day and night. Finished gta5 while waiting for components on low and then finished again on ultra 120+ fps...
I remembered back in those years, when 1060 was just coming out, it was like my dream card, cauz I was using a dual core pentium e5300 and a gts 250 back then. Now I have a 5900x and 3070 rig at my bedroom. But my happy childhood will never comeback
i still have the 980 ti strix as spare gpu, my favourite one of all times. now i have the 3080 ti, but the 980 ti was my first 80 ti and aesthetically the strix was way better than the new ones.
The 980 ti is the beast if the past. Truly it deserves a hall of fame for a high tier 250w card for 600 that can actually play modern games at med-high settings! Also i miss u testing 'kryzp's dying simulator' 😂😂
The 1050TI was my dream card knowing how it was promoted across all platforms but that was during the days when Doom 2016 was released, and holy frick $650? add another 50$ and nowadays where i'm from i can get a brand new 3060TI close to that amount and it's a beast.
The 980ti was my first enthusiast class GPU & it will always have a special place for me because of that. Prior to that I was running a crossfire 390X/290X setup & the 980ti managed to perform just about the same as the crossfire setup! Then my 980ti was one of the best overclockers I've ever had, I could easily run 1520 Mhz core 2010 Mhz mem IIRC, which was pretty much a 50% OC from stock speeds! When I found a great deal on a 1080ti I had to upgrade, but TBH every card I've had since the 908ti (1080ti & 3090) was nowhere near as fun to tweak. So awesome to see the 908ti is still holding on to this day!
@@raresmacovei8382 On paper yes it should be around the same Tflops as a 1080/1080ti, but in practice definitely not. I ended up with roughly the same FPS, in the same system, in the same games (with a few outliers that actually worked well with CFX/SLI) with the 980ti compared to the 390X/290X (both 8GB cards). When I got my 1080ti it blew the CFX 390X/290X out of the water, especially since CFX/SLI died a death by then.
Yeah 1520/8020mhz on stock pcb is pretty good as those dont have great power delivery. But those cards could even go as high as 1700mhz core on golden samples (on air coooling!). Mine does only about 1550 max core but has pretty good memory at 4230mhz
@@raresmacovei8382 While in raw power yes 290X in CF is even slightly faster than 1080ti (massive gains when OC on Hawaii) scaling in games after 2014-2015 is hardly optimal and you also need to consider lower 1% lows etc
I daily drive the exact same model 980ti. It plays all my games easily at 60fps. No real reason to upgrade just yet, if my games change in the future I might consider it. But honestly I'd probably upgrade to a 1080ti next. No real interest in the RTX line up
I still have the 980Ti, I built a new PC with a 4070 Ti just a couple of months ago but its crazy to me how well the 980 Ti holds up.. this card was a beast
Its been over 8 years . My evga 980ti still rocking ❤ might upgrade in 2024! I need to build new pc too, ive been using my pc for a bit over 12years lol
I just started building my new PC today. For 8 years straight I've been using a laptop with 960m on it and it was great, played through entire cyberpunk on it in 30 fps 720p. You could try out desktop version of it as well, never let me down except for well outdated performance but even with that it was holding up surprisingly well.
Oh god that is just painful, I mean fuck. How privileged I am to have played that game at somewhat better fps and 1440p. I just can't do 720p, I just can't. Anything I need turn down below 900p for I simply write off as being unplayable. I can deal with 24fps in a crpg, I can not deal with 30fps at 720p. I guess it depends on the game though, I mean to be fair you can kind of get away with it on a singleplayer first person or third OtS, a strategy game or a crpg looks like such ass. I mean you could have gotten a 980m if it had an MXM module (and not a shitty proprietary one like I think, MSI is the one who does that? Some company makes terrible proprietary ones you have to buy only theirs) I think they've just been making more or less the same chip for nearly a decade now. The GTX 980 or 980ti is essentially the 1060 6gb and the 1650super which is a 3050m.
Have this card, got it in the middle of the scalper pandemic for cheaper than comparable 1060s. The one downside of Maxwell vs Pascal is the lack of support for Freesync/VRR displays (G-Sync module exlusively), making the 40-60fps that is fine on more modern cards mean that you're most likely dealing with screen tearing on Maxwell cards. Love this card for the backlog clearing duty it has, as it powers through anything released pre-2016, while giving competitive performance in modern e-sports style games.
Just got one today on Offerup for 20$ the MSI red dragon edition! I really need to get back to making videos so I can show off the beauty! It's super duper DUSTY and grimy but I'm excited to deep clean it!
One of my friends is still using a GTX 980TI because of the analog DVI output and because it is enough for GTA5 in 1080p but it seems like the VRMs are slowly dying. I want to get my hands on a GTX 1080TI for a “budget workstation” project, I know a newer card such as 6700XT would make more sense. :)
I had two of them in SLI in march 2015 and I felt like a king. I have played the Witcher 3 and GTA 5 in 4K/60 Ultra and Hairworkes in the Witcher. This was unthinkable of wich only one GPU back then.
@zWORMz Gaming I have a ryzen 5 2600x paired with a GTX 1080 ROG strix and 16gb of ram, nothing overclocked, will my cpu get bottlenecked by my 1080. Love the videos also❤
one thing to remember is that you are also recording, both a game and webcam/audio which can take away from the fps in regards to ram and procesor, things dont only have a negative affect on game performance when at 100% so the performance in my head im adding an extra 10% to everything if done outside of a recording session so if it got 42fps average than it would get 46, 47 fps average is what im figuring.
with my haswell core i5 its STRUGGLING but the 980ti definetly keeps it up to still play most games medium and high. Great card, crazy to think it was somewhere around $650 new, now that gets you "mid range" in the current GPU market.
When this came out Myself and my group of friends had GTX 760/960/HD7870/HD7850. Basically same class more or less of GPUs with 2GB of VRAM. Then one of us got this card which seemed INSANE for our friends group at the time and very expensive. The 6GB of VRAM seemed overkill and the card was fast af.
Until like 6-7 years ago, for a mid-range PC you needed 500W PSU. Now you need 700-750W for a mid-range, and 1kW for an enthusiast. Not to mention the people who put 1500W in their PCs.
I built my PC with a 750w bronze psu in 2012. It's the same psu and PC I use today. It's better to leave some headroom so the parts don't wear out and break IMHO. Build for longevity. When a PSU delivers power closer to it's capacity over a long period of time, the components inside the PSU can wear out from stress. For instance, with a 750 watt psu, I would try to make sure the parts power draw doesn't go above 600 watts, which is 80%.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es Yes, but now you'll need a kW if you want to build a higher end PC for longevity. Back in 2012 the high-end GTX 680 had a TDP of like 200W and the enthusiast GTX 690, which was a double GPU, had a TDP of 300W. Now the 4080 uses 320W and the 4090 uses 450W.
13:34 the grassy areas is an Engine issue... nothing to do with GPU. I have RX580 and it still makes Grass/Forest/(Biker) Weed Farm has FPS drops. Rockstar never optimised their greenery very well. Nice video, thanks.
performance of 980ti-1070-1660ti-3050 desktop-4050laptop@35w is similar (in rasterizated games) excluding ray tracing and AI applications. when running stable diffusion, 3050 and 4050@35w however destroys 980ti and even 1080. 4050laptop@35w is such a beast showcasing TSMC 4N incredible efficiency in thin and light laptop.
1080Ti will be 7 years old next year actually (2017)… I don’t recommend a 1080Ti by then, this is definitely the last year where a 1080Ti is still good enough and I have reasons. Most games up until now are cross gen (meaning they are made with the fact that they have to work on PS4/XB1 as a baseline, so that’s why requirements haven’t really went up that significantly over the last few years or so and why the 1080Ti has aged so well). However, the last gen consoles are starting to eventually get abandoned this year when it comes to AAA games. Only now we are just getting actual current gen only games such as Dead Space Remake, The Last Of Us Part 1, Plague Tale Requiem and Star Wars:Jedi Survivor (made with PS5/Xbox Series X|S as a baseline and completely ignoring the last gen consoles) and they definitely have raised system requirements which will only go up later on… The 1080Ti struggles in those games, and it’s lack of DLSS is a big issue… I’d suggest maybe waiting for a 4060Ti that has a rumored 16GB model…price should be decent and that VRAM+DLSS+DLSS FG will REALLY make the card last longer and be enough for this generation up until the PS6 in 2028.

Hi, Krizzp! I have a question because you have a lot of experiences with GPU’s. I currently have RTX 3080Ti at 1440p. How is it performing nowadays? I am thinking about 4080. What do you think? Worth it? Is 4080 a huge leap against 3080Ti. I think that 3080Ti is not so “strong” anymore. Thx
Damn, noob gamer is on crack or something. Lol Anyway, the 3080Ti is a really good 1440p GPU and even capable of 4K with DLSS. I don't think it's worth upgrading to a 4080 which is around 40% faster, maybe for 4K it would be worth it, but it's a lot of money for 40% more performance.
@@zWORMzGaming I read many reviews and there was 30% improvement and you are saying 40% 🧐. Anyway you would stay with 3080Ti. I don’t know if 30% is huge…
I have 2 980tis... Has disappointed when I bought a single 1080ti and the 980tis outperformed it... So I got a second 1080ti and still run them. The 980tis went to my secondary PC.
I went for an R9 390x back in the day paired with a i5 2500. I won't say it was the better card, but for me it was a beast. I had it all the way up to Elden Ring running 1440p max settings (few things chopped/changed on certain games) and good fps, hovering between 30 and sometimes 50 in the end. I eventually moved on to a 1660 super (insane gpu prices at the time, this had a great deal) now paired with a i7 3770k when AMD discontinued driver support, in the end it even had a snapped fan blade but still was all I needed in those winter months, it was built for heat lol. But the 980, damn that was a fine card indeed.
I had two Titan's in SLI of this gen (Maxwell) and only recently replaced them. Talk about bang for my buck, never had a GPU last as long as that beauty did. Thousands of gaming hours on them and still work well. Still have them, might stick them in a future Win 7 build or something. I prefer to game at 4K 60 so sadly they had to go, 1080p is just not enough for me.
My dream card was a 2080ti but I couldn't afford it. Then when I heard the 3070 was coming out at $500 with the same similar specs besides vRam I bought it when released October 29th. I was very happy and now I just purchased a RTX 4090 as my dream card I am finally set for a very long time.
nVidia need to finally fix their VRAM. I don't even see them as viable anymore because they cost too much money offering way too little performance for the cash, and then you'll not get to play ultra setting onnew game for more than 2 years anyway because VRAM is so crippled. It was like this way on even 700 series, a 770 is unplayable on any modern game not because is too slow, it can still run Witcher 3 just fine on ultra setting, but because its video memory is ass. 3070 is still using the memory configuration of 10 series, which was a full generation late on going 8gb like the way AMD did for 400 series. So that completely crippled the entire stack of 700 series, even the 780ti is a 3gb card and basically unplayable on ultra texture settings 1080p, it's basically only a monster at 768p. GTX 980ti at least has ok video memory, that's the problem, you basically get upsold and price gouged to get a 80ti because everything else is designed to age to oblivion, anything below an 80 is going to age like such a shit you're going to have to sit there like a cuck playing medium settings in 2 years while AMD user is still playing at very high setting just because nVidia's bad VRAM. 80 is like the barest minimum, 10gb for 3080 is just barely enough to not age out completely like 3070 did and become useless for newer games. Even an nVidia optimized game like Cyberpunk runs into many problems with 8gb of VRAM, it basically needed a 3080 to run it, meanwhile it's perfectly playable on 1070ti at 1080p, but it stutters and crashes with weird texture glitches using RT on a 3070 and I'd be pretty pissed buying a $500 graphics card that should be $400 graphics card performing so badly I can't even get great performance on literally the flagship game that's selling it to me. Anything other than a 4090 is pointless to buy from nVidia. And 4090 only because a Ferrari isn't meant to be good value, it's meant to be a high end luxury item and among the best. Which makes buying a Suburu performing car at Ferrari level prices stupid and pointless, and is how I see all lower end and midrange nVidia GPU now.
i had one of these back in 2020-2021. bought it for about $150 before the GPU shortage. Really enjoyed the performance before i could acquire an RX 6950 XT.
I just build a new PC after 8 years. And yet again I made the highest tear PC like before. The 980 TI was a beast. I loved it and I will sell it to some one who will still be able to use it. 980 TI is a beast for most games still. Granted don't expect 4k Ultra stuff but 1080 pi like you saw you can play with no problem. And if we talking about FPS then still no problem going pro with it
Love my 980!!! My computer is roughly 8 years old with all the original components still working although I decided to swap some of them. The only thing that went out on me was one of my RAM sticks. I upgraded my motherboard, CPU, RAM, and got rid of my old hard drive for a SD Black. Currently considering finally investing in a new CPU, and Graphics card. Currently have: Z390 motherboard Intel I5 8500 980 TI 32 GB Ram 1TB SSD Original power supply by Corsair 800W You would be surprised at what this little machine can handle!!!
My 980 still plays every game I throw at it fantastically. I have a G-Sync monitor which compensates for any subpar framerates. Can't believe how solid a setup it still is in 2023.
I had an 980 Ti EVGA ACX 2.0 edition for a while back in 2018-early 2020, I was only gaming at 1080p 60fps and this video card was a BEAST, every game was MAXED out with a solid 60fps, but in 2019 when I upgraded to a 1080p but now 144hz this video card in early 2020 games was barley pushing above 60-70fps in the latest games, so I sold it off, I remember buying it for $180 US in 2018 and sold it for like $140 in early 2020 , I was lucky to find a GTX 1080 EVGA FTW edition for $200 and kept it for almost two years due to the GPU shortage
I bought mine for $70 US dollars last week. I use it for my living room PC for classic gaming and plan on using it for some old school Oculus Rift CV1 VR games. Still a beast of a card if you can get it cheap.
Que tarjeta tan poderosa, la verdad fue unas de las mejores que tuve , el año pasado la cambie por una 3080ti. Pero la verdad paea 1080p sigue siendo uba buena tarjeta solida
The big issue isn't raw power rather modern dx12 support, it supports older versions of dx12 but dx12 ultimate causes it to have to fall back to older versions of dx12 hampering performance
It’s been a few months, but last time I tried a 980Ti it had a few performance issues that could only be fixed by rolling back to older drivers. It affected Halo Infinite and GOTG in particular.

What troubles me were the low 1% from the relative slow single core performance. The 12 threads for multicore are not used in many games, but those who use it like bf2042 overwhelm it. While it runs at low at 160 fps or so, in some situations it goes to 80 or under which is annoying. I also got a new Alienware 34 inch qd-oled 3440x1440p. I was about to get a 4k, but I think having less pixels, while not as chrisp, it will keep me going for a longer time. 7900 XT is a beast of a card and XTX will be just the gap I wanted. Yeah, from what was a 1000 euro upgrade is now a 3000+, but given the fact that this will be fine for 5 years, 600 euro a year for a huge upgrade is decent.
@@Nicx343x Depending on the game and for most single player games, the 5820k handles 100+ fps in 1440p high-ultra with the 7900 XT. Diablo 4 for example gives me 150-200 fps on ultra maxing the default 350w settings on the GPU at 2800-2850 mhz.

I was still using that card a year ago. Mostly because that DVI port supported analog output so I could use my CRT at its full potential.

Good video. Maybe you could add "a BIG game of the year" from the year the card was released when reviewing older cards. Ex: For this card, it was the card to have to play Batman: Arkham Knight when it was released in 2015 just to show what the card could do when it was released.
That's a good idea! Thanks mate!

Hey is that the liquid cooler model
the gtx 980ti is definetly still a great budget price to performance gpu in 2023 8 years later!
The 980ti was my first enthusiast class GPU & it will always have a special place for me because of that. Prior to that I was running a crossfire 390X/290X setup & the 980ti managed to perform just about the same as the crossfire setup! Then my 980ti was one of the best overclockers I've ever had, I could easily run 1520 Mhz core 2010 Mhz mem IIRC, which was pretty much a 50% OC from stock speeds! When I found a great deal on a 1080ti I had to upgrade, but TBH every card I've had since the 908ti (1080ti & 3090) was nowhere near as fun to tweak. So awesome to see the 908ti is still holding on to this day!
Crossfire 390X is 1080 Ti class of performance, not 980 Ti.
@@raresmacovei8382 On paper yes it should be around the same Tflops as a 1080/1080ti, but in practice definitely not. I ended up with roughly the same FPS, in the same system, in the same games (with a few outliers that actually worked well with CFX/SLI) with the 980ti compared to the 390X/290X (both 8GB cards). When I got my 1080ti it blew the CFX 390X/290X out of the water, especially since CFX/SLI died a death by then.
Yeah 1520/8020mhz on stock pcb is pretty good as those dont have great power delivery. But those cards could even go as high as 1700mhz core on golden samples (on air coooling!). Mine does only about 1550 max core but has pretty good memory at 4230mhz
@@raresmacovei8382 While in raw power yes 290X in CF is even slightly faster than 1080ti (massive gains when OC on Hawaii) scaling in games after 2014-2015 is hardly optimal and you also need to consider lower 1% lows etc
@@Rex-tt1vk Yeah there was some crazy golden sample 980ti out there. I miss the days of getting that much extra out of your card!

I daily drive the exact same model 980ti. It plays all my games easily at 60fps. No real reason to upgrade just yet, if my games change in the future I might consider it. But honestly I'd probably upgrade to a 1080ti next. No real interest in the RTX line up
wonderful video card, should i upgrade to a 3060? or the jump would not be so great and a better card would be better for me

I just started building my new PC today. For 8 years straight I've been using a laptop with 960m on it and it was great, played through entire cyberpunk on it in 30 fps 720p. You could try out desktop version of it as well, never let me down except for well outdated performance but even with that it was holding up surprisingly well.
Oh god that is just painful, I mean fuck. How privileged I am to have played that game at somewhat better fps and 1440p.
I just can't do 720p, I just can't. Anything I need turn down below 900p for I simply write off as being unplayable. I can deal with 24fps in a crpg, I can not deal with 30fps at 720p. I guess it depends on the game though, I mean to be fair you can kind of get away with it on a singleplayer first person or third OtS, a strategy game or a crpg looks like such ass. I mean you could have gotten a 980m if it had an MXM module (and not a shitty proprietary one like I think, MSI is the one who does that? Some company makes terrible proprietary ones you have to buy only theirs)
I think they've just been making more or less the same chip for nearly a decade now. The GTX 980 or 980ti is essentially the 1060 6gb and the 1650super which is a 3050m.
Have this card, got it in the middle of the scalper pandemic for cheaper than comparable 1060s. The one downside of Maxwell vs Pascal is the lack of support for Freesync/VRR displays (G-Sync module exlusively), making the 40-60fps that is fine on more modern cards mean that you're most likely dealing with screen tearing on Maxwell cards. Love this card for the backlog clearing duty it has, as it powers through anything released pre-2016, while giving competitive performance in modern e-sports style games.
best GPU is GTX 1080Ti i ve ever seen.. no more build..
Just got one today on Offerup for 20$ the MSI red dragon edition! I really need to get back to making videos so I can show off the beauty! It's super duper DUSTY and grimy but I'm excited to deep clean it!
One of my friends is still using a GTX 980TI because of the analog DVI output and because it is enough for GTA5 in 1080p but it seems like the VRMs are slowly dying. I want to get my hands on a GTX 1080TI for a “budget workstation” project, I know a newer card such as 6700XT would make more sense. :)
Awesome video as usual! Have a nice day :)
I had two of them in SLI in march 2015 and I felt like a king. I have played the Witcher 3 and GTA 5 in 4K/60 Ultra and Hairworkes in the Witcher. This was unthinkable of wich only one GPU back then.
@zWORMz Gaming I have a ryzen 5 2600x paired with a GTX 1080 ROG strix and 16gb of ram, nothing overclocked, will my cpu get bottlenecked by my 1080. Love the videos also❤
Which display software u use for this fps gpu etc monitoring, is this msi afterburner?
one thing to remember is that you are also recording, both a game and webcam/audio which can take away from the fps in regards to ram and procesor, things dont only have a negative affect on game performance when at 100% so the performance in my head im adding an extra 10% to everything if done outside of a recording session so if it got 42fps average than it would get 46, 47 fps average is what im figuring.
I use an external capture card and another PC to record. It doesn't affect performance.
You are very entertaining to watch. 😊
This gpu is GOATED for CRT Monitors
Same here. 997 DF 2048x1536 and MSI 980 ti Gaming
They've actually fixed The Last of us. I played it on my RTC 2060 laptop today, it runs at smooth 60fps in medium settings.

Oooh. Kryzzp's doing his nails up nice for us today. ;)
with my haswell core i5 its STRUGGLING but the 980ti definetly keeps it up to still play most games medium and high. Great card, crazy to think it was somewhere around $650 new, now that gets you "mid range" in the current GPU market.
I felt the panic rise there when you missed BOB but then you ran after him and you got him 🤪
Loved the vid, used to own a 980Ti personally! Also you need to do an RX 5700XT video! Would love to see that card benchmarked.

I snagged a 1080 Ti locally for like 200. Probably overpayed tbh. Nice buy on your end tho! Only ever got to try out the 960 and 980.
This was one of my favorite cards ever
Used to be my dream GPU back in 2015 but couldn't afford its 800-1000 price tag in Canada. Now its selling for $200 or less. Crazy times!
When this came out
Myself and my group of friends had GTX 760/960/HD7870/HD7850. Basically same class more or less of GPUs with 2GB of VRAM.
Then one of us got this card which seemed INSANE for our friends group at the time and very expensive. The 6GB of VRAM seemed overkill and the card was fast af.
It definitely wasnt overkill looking back - if it had 4GB of VRAM, it would struggle a lot more
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel at the time I thought 4GB is plenty enough. The R9 390 had 8GB and it was considered A LOT.
Until like 6-7 years ago, for a mid-range PC you needed 500W PSU. Now you need 700-750W for a mid-range, and 1kW for an enthusiast. Not to mention the people who put 1500W in their PCs.
I built my PC with a 750w bronze psu in 2012.
It's the same psu and PC I use today. It's better to leave some headroom so the parts don't wear out and break IMHO. Build for longevity. When a PSU delivers power closer to it's capacity over a long period of time, the components inside the PSU can wear out from stress. For instance, with a 750 watt psu, I would try to make sure the parts power draw doesn't go above 600 watts, which is 80%.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es Yes, but now you'll need a kW if you want to build a higher end PC for longevity. Back in 2012 the high-end GTX 680 had a TDP of like 200W and the enthusiast GTX 690, which was a double GPU, had a TDP of 300W. Now the 4080 uses 320W and the 4090 uses 450W.
what software do you use to show fps? it s not afterbunner huh
13:34 the grassy areas is an Engine issue... nothing to do with GPU. I have RX580 and it still makes Grass/Forest/(Biker) Weed Farm has FPS drops. Rockstar never optimised their greenery very well. Nice video, thanks.
performance of 980ti-1070-1660ti-3050 desktop-4050laptop@35w is similar (in rasterizated games) excluding ray tracing and AI applications. when running stable diffusion, 3050 and 4050@35w however destroys 980ti and even 1080. 4050laptop@35w is such a beast showcasing TSMC 4N incredible efficiency in thin and light laptop.

congrats i have been collecting the titan cards and cant believe what the Z still goes for i have the black the X and the XP so far
i remember the 980ti being the first "4k 60 card"
Next year the gtx 1080ti will be 8 years old,seeing how bad the pc ports are getting ,would you recommend it by then?
1080Ti will be 7 years old next year actually (2017)…
I don’t recommend a 1080Ti by then, this is definitely the last year where a 1080Ti is still good enough and I have reasons.
Most games up until now are cross gen (meaning they are made with the fact that they have to work on PS4/XB1 as a baseline, so that’s why requirements haven’t really went up that significantly over the last few years or so and why the 1080Ti has aged so well).
However, the last gen consoles are starting to eventually get abandoned this year when it comes to AAA games.
Only now we are just getting actual current gen only games such as Dead Space Remake, The Last Of Us Part 1, Plague Tale Requiem and Star Wars:Jedi Survivor (made with PS5/Xbox Series X|S as a baseline and completely ignoring the last gen consoles) and they definitely have raised system requirements which will only go up later on…
The 1080Ti struggles in those games, and it’s lack of DLSS is a big issue…
I’d suggest maybe waiting for a 4060Ti that has a rumored 16GB model…price should be decent and that VRAM+DLSS+DLSS FG will REALLY make the card last longer and be enough for this generation up until the PS6 in 2028.

Hi, Krizzp! I have a question because you have a lot of experiences with GPU’s. I currently have RTX 3080Ti at 1440p. How is it performing nowadays? I am thinking about 4080. What do you think? Worth it? Is 4080 a huge leap against 3080Ti. I think that 3080Ti is not so “strong” anymore. Thx
Damn, noob gamer is on crack or something. Lol
Anyway, the 3080Ti is a really good 1440p GPU and even capable of 4K with DLSS.
I don't think it's worth upgrading to a 4080 which is around 40% faster, maybe for 4K it would be worth it, but it's a lot of money for 40% more performance.
@@zWORMzGaming I read many reviews and there was 30% improvement and you are saying 40% 🧐. Anyway you would stay with 3080Ti. I don’t know if 30% is huge…
I have 2 980tis...
Has disappointed when I bought a single 1080ti and the 980tis outperformed it...
So I got a second 1080ti and still run them. The 980tis went to my secondary PC.
I went for an R9 390x back in the day paired with a i5 2500. I won't say it was the better card, but for me it was a beast. I had it all the way up to Elden Ring running 1440p max settings (few things chopped/changed on certain games) and good fps, hovering between 30 and sometimes 50 in the end. I eventually moved on to a 1660 super (insane gpu prices at the time, this had a great deal) now paired with a i7 3770k when AMD discontinued driver support, in the end it even had a snapped fan blade but still was all I needed in those winter months, it was built for heat lol.
But the 980, damn that was a fine card indeed.
You should do a video showing off all of the GPUs that you have! By now you must have a representative of every model that has been released, right?
It is my ambition to one day have a garage filled with GPU and PC part collection. I imagine zwormz has a whole room full of GPUs.
I really love those older reference designs
29:37 How's your CPU usage so low? Overwatch 2 always maxes mine out even at the title screen.
what cpu you got?
I had two Titan's in SLI of this gen (Maxwell) and only recently replaced them. Talk about bang for my buck, never had a GPU last as long as that beauty did. Thousands of gaming hours on them and still work well. Still have them, might stick them in a future Win 7 build or something. I prefer to game at 4K 60 so sadly they had to go, 1080p is just not enough for me.
My dream card was a 2080ti but I couldn't afford it. Then when I heard the 3070 was coming out at $500 with the same similar specs besides vRam I bought it when released October 29th. I was very happy and now I just purchased a RTX 4090 as my dream card I am finally set for a very long time.
nVidia need to finally fix their VRAM. I don't even see them as viable anymore because they cost too much money offering way too little performance for the cash, and then you'll not get to play ultra setting onnew game for more than 2 years anyway because VRAM is so crippled. It was like this way on even 700 series, a 770 is unplayable on any modern game not because is too slow, it can still run Witcher 3 just fine on ultra setting, but because its video memory is ass. 3070 is still using the memory configuration of 10 series, which was a full generation late on going 8gb like the way AMD did for 400 series. So that completely crippled the entire stack of 700 series, even the 780ti is a 3gb card and basically unplayable on ultra texture settings 1080p, it's basically only a monster at 768p. GTX 980ti at least has ok video memory, that's the problem, you basically get upsold and price gouged to get a 80ti because everything else is designed to age to oblivion, anything below an 80 is going to age like such a shit you're going to have to sit there like a cuck playing medium settings in 2 years while AMD user is still playing at very high setting just because nVidia's bad VRAM. 80 is like the barest minimum, 10gb for 3080 is just barely enough to not age out completely like 3070 did and become useless for newer games. Even an nVidia optimized game like Cyberpunk runs into many problems with 8gb of VRAM, it basically needed a 3080 to run it, meanwhile it's perfectly playable on 1070ti at 1080p, but it stutters and crashes with weird texture glitches using RT on a 3070 and I'd be pretty pissed buying a $500 graphics card that should be $400 graphics card performing so badly I can't even get great performance on literally the flagship game that's selling it to me.
Anything other than a 4090 is pointless to buy from nVidia. And 4090 only because a Ferrari isn't meant to be good value, it's meant to be a high end luxury item and among the best. Which makes buying a Suburu performing car at Ferrari level prices stupid and pointless, and is how I see all lower end and midrange nVidia GPU now.
You know your pc stuff mate, I learn off people like you.
i had one of these back in 2020-2021. bought it for about $150 before the GPU shortage. Really enjoyed the performance before i could acquire an RX 6950 XT.
I just build a new PC after 8 years. And yet again I made the highest tear PC like before. The 980 TI was a beast. I loved it and I will sell it to some one who will still be able to use it. 980 TI is a beast for most games still. Granted don't expect 4k Ultra stuff but 1080 pi like you saw you can play with no problem. And if we talking about FPS then still no problem going pro with it
Love my 980!!! My computer is roughly 8 years old with all the original components still working although I decided to swap some of them. The only thing that went out on me was one of my RAM sticks. I upgraded my motherboard, CPU, RAM, and got rid of my old hard drive for a SD Black. Currently considering finally investing in a new CPU, and Graphics card.

My 980 still plays every game I throw at it fantastically. I have a G-Sync monitor which compensates for any subpar framerates. Can't believe how solid a setup it still is in 2023.
I had an 980 Ti EVGA ACX 2.0 edition for a while back in 2018-early 2020, I was only gaming at 1080p 60fps and this video card was a BEAST, every game was MAXED out with a solid 60fps, but in 2019 when I upgraded to a 1080p but now 144hz this video card in early 2020 games was barley pushing above 60-70fps in the latest games, so I sold it off, I remember buying it for $180 US in 2018 and sold it for like $140 in early 2020 , I was lucky to find a GTX 1080 EVGA FTW edition for $200 and kept it for almost two years due to the GPU shortage
Good GPU I will buy one tomorrow with 120$ but the 4GB VRAM one Thanks for this Cool Video it Came in the Right Time😍😍
I bought mine for $70 US dollars last week. I use it for my living room PC for classic gaming and plan on using it for some old school Oculus Rift CV1 VR games. Still a beast of a card if you can get it cheap.
Que tarjeta tan poderosa, la verdad fue unas de las mejores que tuve , el año pasado la cambie por una 3080ti. Pero la verdad paea 1080p sigue siendo uba buena tarjeta solida
I remember wanting this card so bad and ended up settling for a 960ti for around $200 in 2016, good days back then in high school computer class
You have a nice nail polish while holding the card :D
I’ve been running it since 2015. I probably won’t ever upgrade. I have a ps5 and a 4k tv. And my 980ti is still holding strong on my 1080p monitor.

The big issue isn't raw power rather modern dx12 support, it supports older versions of dx12 but dx12 ultimate causes it to have to fall back to older versions of dx12 hampering performance
