The 1080ti is going to be one of those cards older gamers will still talk about in 10 years. If my 3090 ages half as well as the 1080ti has I'll be ecstatic.
I have the exact model of 1080 ti, was in my build up till recently when I swapped it out with LTT's certified gamer program's 3080 ti. Gonna put it back in once I have a VFIO setup in order. A really good card even by today's standards.
The 1080 Ti is aimed at 1440p gaming. Even today, it is a beastly card. I have the ASUS ROG Strix variant of the 1080 Ti and it is still capable of running modern titles well.
Omg, I got that same card in mid 2019 for $500 used because of EVGA being pretty much the only company to honor second buyer warranties, it's just shortened to the manufacturer date rather than the purchase date. Sure enough 3 months in I get Artifacting and evga sends me a 3 slot 2080 XC for which I'm extremely grateful.
Dude that's awesome. I have never owned an EVGA product but it sounds like they're a good company that's consumer friendly. I doubt others would do that. I have a 3070 so I have no plans on upgrading for a long while but maybe I'll go EVGA next time.
@@Gatorade69 Yeah they were super great to work with. If you do get a second hand card they now do require the original proof of purchase from owner 1 to do second hand warranties but it is still better than anyone else.
@@micb3rd exactly. The 1080 ti has aged well, but having dlss has made the 2080 age a little better imo. I haven't noticed the 3gb less vram at 1440P. Frankly I was just happy they gave me anything at all as a second hand buyer lol.
I had two different 1080Ti cards, both EVGA -- an SC2 and an FTW3. I'm sure there's people who disagree, but I REALLY liked the look of these particular GPUs. I also miss that you could get flagship performance in a 2-slot cooler design. I get that TDPs have gone up, but it feels a bit excessive when 3060-class cards are getting 2.5 or 3 slot coolers. Maybe it's the brute force nature of going bigger for more cooling vs more finesse and engineering to deliver a smaller cooler that still performs adequately.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff i replied to this video saying i saw a 1060 6gb for 165 and a scam account replied to me so i just thought I'd let you know so you can delete their replies
@Transistor Jump - In the PC tech world, that's pretty old, and it's not just about how old it is, it's about how much performance you still get out of it for how old it is.
@Transistor Jump - That's nice. I still think the 1080ti stands out as one of the best cards ever released from a long-term value perspective, and many others have come to the same conclusion.
I was 17 when I bought a cyberpower prebuilt with a rx580 4gb, I remember looking at all those comparison videos about the 1080ti and being so jealous that I was a broke kid and couldn't afford it lol... Flash forward to 2022, I'm 22 and I'm still broke but I have a rx6600xt that I threw in that same old cyberpower prebuilt, I finally have the performance that I wanted in highschool 😅
Still with my EVGA 1080 Ti SC. Was expecting to upgrade to a 3080 when it arrived but then reality. None the less for my 1440p gaming needs it still does just fine. So glad I bought it when I did despite worrying it was expensive (LOL). When I do finally upgrade I'm going to mount it on a plinth and worship its goodness.😎
The GTX 1080 TI is a legendary GPU and its performance at its price is such that Nvidia will never make the mistake of releasing at such a pricepoint ever again.
The 1080 is a card that deserved a much longer run. It has performance comparable to a 3060 Ti and if they had just kept making it all this time people could have had $200 cards kicking ass. Edit: I meant to say 1080 Ti, ya know the card the video is about.
That's not how making money or advancing technology works lol. XX80 cards are meant to be beast when they launch and then future proof for a few generations, with new lower end cards eventually catching up to match and then surpass them.
I bought the 1080 at its launch in 2016 for 1440P 144hz gaming. Now my girlfriend is still using it as 1080P 144hz card with the graphics settings cranked up. Best graphics card investment I ever made.
Older cards aren't cheaper to make. At 1080 ti is pretty inefficient in terms of the process of making it. It would still cost more to produce a 1080 ti compared to a 3060 ti which uses a much smaller die, is more powerful, and power efficient. Not to mention it wouldn't make business sense even if it did work that way. I do agree Nvidia is holdign back cards at this point. A 3060 itself should be better then a 1080 ti at this point not matching it.
@@Tofuey Cards do become cheaper to make the longer they are made and the higher the quantity. I'm well aware how technology advancement works and that semiconductor manufacturers move on from older processes and more. Jeez people learn to read the sentiment of what someone says and not just the literal. It would be better for gamers in general if companies didn't just force new releases and higher prices as often as possible. Note the situation the last 2+ years.
I picked up a 1080 founders edition off e-bay for about$480 in mid 2020. The thing was practically brand new and has never let me down. I'm sure I'll upgrade at some point but at least that's one component I know will still serve me well. Heck if anything I need a better CPU so it can really shine rather than being bottlenecked with my current ryzen 3 3200g.
I wanted this exact FTW3 1080ti back in the day and never got it then. i finally bought one a few months back for 300AUD and will make a amazing display piece in my man cave \ backup card since my 6800xt is about twice as fast
Owning an Aorus Xtreme GTX 1080 Ti , for the last 4 years. The best buy I ever made. It still holds up for some 1440p gaming. It's good that I don't have to change it yet :p
🤔 I mean as a 1080P card it'll probably never die, but the arrow of time and all. In a year when these go down to like a couple of hundred quid they'll make for a great budget option. Legendary card.
I have this exact model. Been working flawlessly since I got it. The heat pads got a little gunky last year, which led it to making the card a bit sticky due to seepage. Cleaned it, and replaced all the thermals, and all is good. This thing is an absolute beast! Still great in 2022.
@@EQOAnostalgia Yeah, and it has made a noticeable difference. My room doesn't heat up nearly as quickly and I have piece of mind knowing I 'trimmed the fat', reducing my impact on the grid and bill, and prolonging the card's life.
I can't believe your at almost 500k , I started watching you right at the beginning when covid hit , you were still a relatively small TH-camr. Well done
About 4 years ago my friend was struggling to game with his old card. His girlfriend and I conspired, along with some others in our Discord server, to buy him this exact 1080ti for Christmas. Jump to last month, he bought a 6900 XT and gave the 1080ti to my wife who was struggling to play Cyberpunk on a 970! What goes around comes around :)
1080 TI, the most incredible price to performance card ever made. Shame, cause 3080 would've beaten the 1080 TI in that regard if it actually costed $600
The 10 series was by far one of the best. Even the Steam hardware survey shows this. The 1060 is STILL at the top and in the top 5, 3 cards are from the 10 series.
My EVGA 1080 Ti today still going strong. Seriously gonna go down in history as the best and long lasting gpu. Love my 1080 Ti, still slaughters games at 1440p. And ultra settings, not including garbage optimized games like 2042 and cyberpunk.
Had my 1080 for almost 5 years now, still runs any game I throw at it, sometimes ill use a scaling tech like NIS for more demanding games such as warzone, but generally super good card for the price. Upgrading soon to a 3070, 3070 Ti, or maybe even a 3080, but my 1080 has performed time and time again.
The 1070, and 1080 Ti and non Ti variants are still fantastic cards to game on today. Especially for 1080p and even for 1440p high or medium settings. I'm currently running the MSI Aero GTX 1070 that kinda looks like that abysmal Dell GTX 1070 you did a video on a while back.
people get on gpu userbenchmark and look at percentages, which are often not indicative to actual performance. My friend has a 1080 Ti, I have a 3060 and we get almost the exact same frame rate, with either slightly surpassing the other depending on the game
Dawid, also remember that the older 1000 series cards are able to utilize AMD's FSR in games that have it (like Cyberpunk 2077). It can be quite helpful. I have an older GTX 1070 in one of my backup machines, and just for the hell of it I ran Cyberpunk 2077 on it and played around with settings. Native 1440p was terrible, of course, but turning FSR on I was able to squeeze playabl;e rates out of it. I settled on 1440p Medium with FSR on Balanced and was able to get around 75 fps on it - very playable, and not terrible-looking. For a game like that on 1440p I think that's amazing. I personally love the new upscaling technologies and what they can do for older cards like these. My main rig has a RX 6800 but it's fun just to play around with the older cards to see what you can squeeze out of it.
These cards start at around $450+ on eBay in the US and they're just the single blower fan or dual fan models in variable conditions. I'd say you got a great deal and I'm happy GPU prices are turning around because I'm about to be in the market for a card soon! 😊👍
I am mildly addicted to this channel. I think this was the first "new" one I have watched. I binged almost every one from the past year. From a fellow Southern African, it's hard not to recognize it.
Was so lucky to buy a PC from a guy used. Knew him a little, and he needed the money. Very promising build with watercooled Aorus 1080 TI. Paid him 10000 NKR (about 1000 euro). This was nearly 3 years ago, and it still is running perfectly!
@@EQOAnostalgia He is living in a city a boat ride away, and my parents went there doing some errands and I asked if they could bring it... When they said it was big and heavy they weren't joking! Twice as big and 3 times as heavy as the one I used at that moment 😁😇
I'm still running a 1080 Ti and I'm really glad I bought one, given the lack of 30 series cards and how the 20 series wasn't really worth it for upgrade cost. I bought it for high refresh 1440p gaming at launch because my 980 Ti was not really handling high refresh 1440p. Managed to actually snag it from EVGA's website at launch for MSRP.
I bought a Zotac 1080ti the day the 3080 came out for 300 Canadian dollars. I think he did get a 3000 series gpu after a few months but I had to move so I ended up selling the pc witch I paid about 800 Canadian for 2200$. bought a gaming laptop and a plane ticket and never looked back.
I loved my GTX 1080ti and would probably still be using it today but I wanted RTX features for Cyberpunk (yeah I bought into the hype). The card found a good home with an artist friend of mine and is still going strong today and will for many years to come. The 1080ti is one of the greatest graphics cards of all time.
The 1080s were really a 'turn-of-the-century' graphics card. They came out when we had our last notable leap in computer tech before VR. When everything swapped from bulky tech into more refined, stylish stuff but we were still in the middle of Razer Monster Energy aesthetics.
Big fan of budget computer tech and outdated chip architecture, and learning more about it. Your channel is THE one-stop-shop for all things middle-aged, and I love it! I may own modern hardware, but that does not mean I don't enjoy the old that made the industry.
you dont really need to take off the GPU fan cables off, just flip the cooler over, fan side, that the cable are on if all you want to do is replace paste. there is enough slack in the cables to do this safely.
I kept my 1080ti until about a week ago when I finally upgraded to a 6900xt. I bought it right after Turing launched and planned to upgrade when ampere launched but I wasn’t going to pay scalper prices. I play at 1440p 144hz and it was really starting to struggle there the last year or so. It served me well for a long time but anything above 1080p and it really shows it’s age.
@@braaten4591 I got the red devil oc card for 1200 usd at micro center. Msrp is 1400 so I think it was still a decent deal. The 6800xt are the same price so they didn’t really make sense at that point.

was considering a 1080ti or a 3060 and I must say its like you can read my mind. always satisfied after watching your content. please never stop doing this. thank you so much.
My 1080 is a champ! Only reason I upgraded a couple months ago is because I was able to buy a 3080ti at retail price but before I found that I was fully content with my 1080. They are great cards and a great option for mid tier builds right now.
"Aside from being a little sticky, actually in very nice condition considering it could be quite old." Describes my personal physical condition quite accurately 😂
I got ahold of an EVGA FTW3 2080Ti from a friend who used it twice, put back in it’s box AND plastic and even gave me the $1,500 receipt with warranty still left all for $600 bucks. I think it was a great deal, i got to keep my 1660Ti as a secondary PC that i just finished building but the 2080Ti is handling any game like a beast!! Upgrading my I7-9700K needs to happen next, first was going 1080p at 144Hz to 1440p at 180Hz monitor.
I will quite literally now get nothing BUT the EVGA FTW3 editions of all of my future cards. Love the LED and don’t mind the size. And my 2080Ti would be drawing around 290-300+ at max usage. The 3 fans and THICCC heatsink even having my AIO as intake I don’t go above 61-62 degrees while gaming.
I bought a 1080ti on launch day in 2017 at Microcenter in Dallas. It is still running today. I now have a 6900xt because I run linux and nvidia hates everyone but themselves, but the 1080ti was my daily driver for 5 years and a year in my wife's computer before we got her a 2080ti from a friend. It's an absolute champion of a video card and I highly doubt any GPU will ever be produced that is as legendary for as long by either Nvidia AMD or now Intel.
8:02 "Maybe it'll be fine" I've learned when I hear myself say those words, it's time to stop and think about ordering the correct parts (in this case, replacement thermal pads)
My biggest regret is selling my 1080ti hybrid! When I got my new gpu I figured I would recover some money and sell it to a buddy, that card is such powerhouse even at todays standards.
Just upgraded from that exact card to a 6800xt and in all honesty it was still running everything fine, was just started to need a few tweaks to settings, absolute monster of a card that lasted me a good 5 years, bargain!
I'm glad to see some validation that my holding out in these trying times that I made the right decision to hold out on upgrading from my 1080 ti. Love the vids Dawid
I got myself this exact model of 1080ti about a month before 30 series launched (up from a 1070 i gave to a friend as they were using a GT740). A solid card that likes to self boost to 2Ghz or so, plan to use it 'til it breaks basically as I don't need faster. Crazy thing about the 1080ti is there's like 5 gpu die revisions (350-K1 through K4 and the last made was the 351-K1-A1), with the FTW3 the early ones had vbios switches names Master and slave (mine and yours are examples of that), later ones were named normal and OC. Thanks for the awesome content Dawid, as always

The 1080ti is going to be one of those cards older gamers will still talk about in 10 years. If my 3090 ages half as well as the 1080ti has I'll be ecstatic.
"I hope GTX 1080 TI can run GTA V well"
Sir , i feel personally attacked by this sentence .
Yea. It was designed around that time to be a 4k card for games like that. My 1070 could play that game at decent settings at 1440p.
THANK YOUUU i MEAN ITS A 1080TI. The best graphics card ever made. Like I dont know what else to say. like its a literal 1080ti lmao
It was a bad attempt at a sarcastic statement. 😅
I have the exact model of 1080 ti, was in my build up till recently when I swapped it out with LTT's certified gamer program's 3080 ti. Gonna put it back in once I have a VFIO setup in order. A really good card even by today's standards.
Impressive how well Pascal holds up 5 years later! Still rocking my 1070, hasn't skipped a beat.
I mean, to be fair it was the fastest card Nvidia made until April 2020. So it's not like ancient history or anything.
The 1080 Ti is aimed at 1440p gaming. Even today, it is a beastly card. I have the ASUS ROG Strix variant of the 1080 Ti and it is still capable of running modern titles well.
Its more than capable. its a 1080ti.
Agreed, running the same card but oc version. Still runs my games excellent at 1440.
How are you doing today handsome..how is your whether over their
Omg, I got that same card in mid 2019 for $500 used because of EVGA being pretty much the only company to honor second buyer warranties, it's just shortened to the manufacturer date rather than the purchase date.
Sure enough 3 months in I get Artifacting and evga sends me a 3 slot 2080 XC for which I'm extremely grateful.
Dude that's awesome. I have never owned an EVGA product but it sounds like they're a good company that's consumer friendly. I doubt others would do that. I have a 3070 so I have no plans on upgrading for a long while but maybe I'll go EVGA next time.
@@Gatorade69 Yeah they were super great to work with. If you do get a second hand card they now do require the original proof of purchase from owner 1 to do second hand warranties but it is still better than anyone else.
That is a real win as you moved to Amperes features like DLSS.
@@micb3rd exactly. The 1080 ti has aged well, but having dlss has made the 2080 age a little better imo. I haven't noticed the 3gb less vram at 1440P. Frankly I was just happy they gave me anything at all as a second hand buyer lol.
Wish i knew that when my EVGA blew up, though it's very likely my own fault for not cleaning the case enough lol.
I had two different 1080Ti cards, both EVGA -- an SC2 and an FTW3. I'm sure there's people who disagree, but I REALLY liked the look of these particular GPUs.
I also miss that you could get flagship performance in a 2-slot cooler design. I get that TDPs have gone up, but it feels a bit excessive when 3060-class cards are getting 2.5 or 3 slot coolers.
Maybe it's the brute force nature of going bigger for more cooling vs more finesse and engineering to deliver a smaller cooler that still performs adequately.
After "months" of screwing, your tool must be exhausted. 😆
My tool really needed a break after all that. 😂

1080ti is one of the best cards ever made. Amazing how well it holds up to this day.
To be fair, it was the fastest card Nvidia made until the 2080S in April of 2020. That's just barely 2 years ago.
@@Erdie5 That’s a good point, but again to be fair, we are almost at the end of the 30 series’s life cycle. I’d say it’s still very impressive. 😁
Got a 1080 ti in 2019 for $360 USD, and I'm happy with that purchase so far
1080 ti is great card
The 1080ti is this decade's 8800GTX. The thing just refuses to die. What a legend of a GPU.
@Transistor Jump it’s going to lose driver support in 3-4 years
@Transistor Jump - In the PC tech world, that's pretty old, and it's not just about how old it is, it's about how much performance you still get out of it for how old it is.
@Transistor Jump - That's nice. I still think the 1080ti stands out as one of the best cards ever released from a long-term value perspective, and many others have come to the same conclusion.
@Transistor Jump can it granny!
@Transistor Jump how are you doing today ❤️
man i love the gtx 10 series it is genuinly amazing
My 17 year old self was so jealous when this launched when I had my 950. Now I’m 22 with a 2080ti. How times change
25 with a 3080 I feel u
120 with a 4090xi
I was 17 when I bought a cyberpower prebuilt with a rx580 4gb, I remember looking at all those comparison videos about the 1080ti and being so jealous that I was a broke kid and couldn't afford it lol... Flash forward to 2022, I'm 22 and I'm still broke but I have a rx6600xt that I threw in that same old cyberpower prebuilt, I finally have the performance that I wanted in highschool 😅
Still with my EVGA 1080 Ti SC. Was expecting to upgrade to a 3080 when it arrived but then reality. None the less for my 1440p gaming needs it still does just fine. So glad I bought it when I did despite worrying it was expensive (LOL). When I do finally upgrade I'm going to mount it on a plinth and worship its goodness.😎
ewww
Been there when you had just a few thousand subscribers, great to see the channel grow! Great content as usual, Dawid!
The GTX 1080 TI is a legendary GPU and its performance at its price is such that Nvidia will never make the mistake of releasing at such a pricepoint ever again.
@Transistor Jump its funny how diluted people are. Highest end gpu's were never "cheap" and are never going to be.
I don't see the word "cheap" anywhere in that post.
Unless of course you somehow think a $500 increase for the same tier is justified.
The 1080 is a card that deserved a much longer run. It has performance comparable to a 3060 Ti and if they had just kept making it all this time people could have had $200 cards kicking ass.
Edit: I meant to say 1080 Ti, ya know the card the video is about.
That's not how making money or advancing technology works lol. XX80 cards are meant to be beast when they launch and then future proof for a few generations, with new lower end cards eventually catching up to match and then surpass them.
I bought the 1080 at its launch in 2016 for 1440P 144hz gaming. Now my girlfriend is still using it as 1080P 144hz card with the graphics settings cranked up.
Best graphics card investment I ever made.
Older cards aren't cheaper to make. At 1080 ti is pretty inefficient in terms of the process of making it. It would still cost more to produce a 1080 ti compared to a 3060 ti which uses a much smaller die, is more powerful, and power efficient.
Not to mention it wouldn't make business sense even if it did work that way. I do agree Nvidia is holdign back cards at this point. A 3060 itself should be better then a 1080 ti at this point not matching it.
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 I'm aware... Doesn't change what I said. 😅
@@Tofuey Cards do become cheaper to make the longer they are made and the higher the quantity. I'm well aware how technology advancement works and that semiconductor manufacturers move on from older processes and more. Jeez people learn to read the sentiment of what someone says and not just the literal. It would be better for gamers in general if companies didn't just force new releases and higher prices as often as possible. Note the situation the last 2+ years.
The older Gpus are getting a HUGE improvement wit the newer Cpus' architectures,.. almost like Nintendo using the games themselves to upgrade the NES.
yeah you should build a new computer with the legendary 6502 processor in it😅😆
I have a 1080 ti myself, love this card to death. Probably won't upgrade until i get my hands on a 40-series GPU, it's been nothing but great
I think u can pass 40 series and wait for lower tdp more efficient series
Think I will keep mine till the 5080ti

I picked up a 1080 founders edition off e-bay for about$480 in mid 2020. The thing was practically brand new and has never let me down. I'm sure I'll upgrade at some point but at least that's one component I know will still serve me well. Heck if anything I need a better CPU so it can really shine rather than being bottlenecked with my current ryzen 3 3200g.
Got my 1080ti on release in 2017, been a great card and should last another couple of years
I wanted this exact FTW3 1080ti back in the day and never got it then. i finally bought one a few months back for 300AUD and will make a amazing display piece in my man cave \ backup card since my 6800xt is about twice as fast
Owning an Aorus Xtreme GTX 1080 Ti , for the last 4 years. The best buy I ever made. It still holds up for some 1440p gaming. It's good that I don't have to change it yet :p
6:45 I guess it's going to be a long day of screwing
Noice! You have the best content of tech. Wishing you the best of luck on your videos!
🤔 I mean as a 1080P card it'll probably never die, but the arrow of time and all. In a year when these go down to like a couple of hundred quid they'll make for a great budget option. Legendary card.
I have this exact model. Been working flawlessly since I got it. The heat pads got a little gunky last year, which led it to making the card a bit sticky due to seepage. Cleaned it, and replaced all the thermals, and all is good. This thing is an absolute beast! Still great in 2022.
I undervolted my 1080Ti Strix and it takes only ~170 watts with only a ~3fps drop. Truly an awesome card. Still runs any game fine, even VR.
The 10 series cards was born to be overclocked. Each to there own tho 👍
@@darrenoliver2497 He/she doesn't require the extra oomph, that much is clear, they rather save on their energy bill.
Does VR better than fine, it's still one of the best cards for VR today.
@@EQOAnostalgia Yeah, and it has made a noticeable difference. My room doesn't heat up nearly as quickly and I have piece of mind knowing I 'trimmed the fat', reducing my impact on the grid and bill, and prolonging the card's life.

You didn't look very much did ya. There's plenty
It's jokingly called the Starcraft version
@@paulmeyer1001 LOL!
About 4 years ago my friend was struggling to game with his old card. His girlfriend and I conspired, along with some others in our Discord server, to buy him this exact 1080ti for Christmas.
Jump to last month, he bought a 6900 XT and gave the 1080ti to my wife who was struggling to play Cyberpunk on a 970! What goes around comes around :)
1080 TI, the most incredible price to performance card ever made. Shame, cause 3080 would've beaten the 1080 TI in that regard if it actually costed $600
The 10 series was by far one of the best. Even the Steam hardware survey shows this. The 1060 is STILL at the top and in the top 5, 3 cards are from the 10 series.
My EVGA 1080 Ti today still going strong. Seriously gonna go down in history as the best and long lasting gpu. Love my 1080 Ti, still slaughters games at 1440p. And ultra settings, not including garbage optimized games like 2042 and cyberpunk.
Had my 1080 for almost 5 years now, still runs any game I throw at it, sometimes ill use a scaling tech like NIS for more demanding games such as warzone, but generally super good card for the price. Upgrading soon to a 3070, 3070 Ti, or maybe even a 3080, but my 1080 has performed time and time again.
The 1070, and 1080 Ti and non Ti variants are still fantastic cards to game on today. Especially for 1080p and even for 1440p high or medium settings. I'm currently running the MSI Aero GTX 1070 that kinda looks like that abysmal Dell GTX 1070 you did a video on a while back.
4:50 LOL those animations man. Just beautiful.
The RTX 3060 TI is the card that matches or beats the 1080ti in most cases.
hell no
RTX 3060 ti is 20% faster than GTX 1080 ti
people get on gpu userbenchmark and look at percentages, which are often not indicative to actual performance. My friend has a 1080 Ti, I have a 3060 and we get almost the exact same frame rate, with either slightly surpassing the other depending on the game
"without going bankrupt"
-oh so that's the benchmark now?
Dawid, also remember that the older 1000 series cards are able to utilize AMD's FSR in games that have it (like Cyberpunk 2077). It can be quite helpful.
I have an older GTX 1070 in one of my backup machines, and just for the hell of it I ran Cyberpunk 2077 on it and played around with settings. Native 1440p was terrible, of course, but turning FSR on I was able to squeeze playabl;e rates out of it. I settled on 1440p Medium with FSR on Balanced and was able to get around 75 fps on it - very playable, and not terrible-looking. For a game like that on 1440p I think that's amazing.
I personally love the new upscaling technologies and what they can do for older cards like these. My main rig has a RX 6800 but it's fun just to play around with the older cards to see what you can squeeze out of it.
Basically it's still a beast but has a grey beard now
These cards start at around $450+ on eBay in the US and they're just the single blower fan or dual fan models in variable conditions. I'd say you got a great deal and I'm happy GPU prices are turning around because I'm about to be in the market for a card soon! 😊👍
its nice to see that the gtx 1080 ti can still do as good or outperform a mid-range card two generations ahead
Just upgraded yesterday from the 1080ti to a 6800xt. It served me well. I sold the 1080ti for 400 usd.

5:03 as far as I know, cyberpunk has added support for fsr, so you could use that in higher resolutions if you want to.
let me guess he going to compare the 1080 ti to a gt 710 and poop his pants cause it slaughters the gt 710
I'm still running a 1080 Ti and I'm really glad I bought one, given the lack of 30 series cards and how the 20 series wasn't really worth it for upgrade cost.
I bought it for high refresh 1440p gaming at launch because my 980 Ti was not really handling high refresh 1440p. Managed to actually snag it from EVGA's website at launch for MSRP.
"This really cool looking shroud design...." - had a good laugh over Shroud appearing in the bottom. I love how you pay attention to details!
I bought a Zotac 1080ti the day the 3080 came out for 300 Canadian dollars. I think he did get a 3000 series gpu after a few months but I had to move so I ended up selling the pc witch I paid about 800 Canadian for 2200$. bought a gaming laptop and a plane ticket and never looked back.
I got my standard 1080 founders edition for the same price you got your 1080ti for, I’ve been using it for about a year now I love the card
That evga card and the strix were my favorite 1080ti designs.
I loved my GTX 1080ti and would probably still be using it today but I wanted RTX features for Cyberpunk (yeah I bought into the hype). The card found a good home with an artist friend of mine and is still going strong today and will for many years to come. The 1080ti is one of the greatest graphics cards of all time.
Got a 1080Ti Strix 3 months ago and it's only been the most awesome card I've ever had. Still kicks butt for its age! Lol
The 1080s were really a 'turn-of-the-century' graphics card. They came out when we had our last notable leap in computer tech before VR.
When everything swapped from bulky tech into more refined, stylish stuff but we were still in the middle of Razer Monster Energy aesthetics.
Used to have an EVGA 1080ti that I modded with a hybrid cooler and later sold it to a friend for $400
1080ti still fighting the good fight.

I'm always glad to watch a new Dawid video, cheers me up with his always happy banter.
you dont really need to take off the GPU fan cables off, just flip the cooler over, fan side, that the cable are on if all you want to do is replace paste. there is enough slack in the cables to do this safely.
I kept my 1080ti until about a week ago when I finally upgraded to a 6900xt. I bought it right after Turing launched and planned to upgrade when ampere launched but I wasn’t going to pay scalper prices. I play at 1440p 144hz and it was really starting to struggle there the last year or so. It served me well for a long time but anything above 1080p and it really shows it’s age.
How much did you pay for your 6900xt? I missed out on a deal of 900€, because I was hoping that the prices would drop even more.
@@braaten4591 I got the red devil oc card for 1200 usd at micro center. Msrp is 1400 so I think it was still a decent deal. The 6800xt are the same price so they didn’t really make sense at that point.

I got ahold of an EVGA FTW3 2080Ti from a friend who used it twice, put back in it’s box AND plastic and even gave me the $1,500 receipt with warranty still left all for $600 bucks. I think it was a great deal, i got to keep my 1660Ti as a secondary PC that i just finished building but the 2080Ti is handling any game like a beast!! Upgrading my I7-9700K needs to happen next, first was going 1080p at 144Hz to 1440p at 180Hz monitor.
I will quite literally now get nothing BUT the EVGA FTW3 editions of all of my future cards. Love the LED and don’t mind the size. And my 2080Ti would be drawing around 290-300+ at max usage. The 3 fans and THICCC heatsink even having my AIO as intake I don’t go above 61-62 degrees while gaming.
You need to do an OC run on the card with Afterburner and see what kind of performance uplift you get on the newer platform!
Love it keep up the good work❤️
I bought a 1080ti on launch day in 2017 at Microcenter in Dallas. It is still running today. I now have a 6900xt because I run linux and nvidia hates everyone but themselves, but the 1080ti was my daily driver for 5 years and a year in my wife's computer before we got her a 2080ti from a friend.

I got myself this exact model of 1080ti about a month before 30 series launched (up from a 1070 i gave to a friend as they were using a GT740). A solid card that likes to self boost to 2Ghz or so, plan to use it 'til it breaks basically as I don't need faster.
Crazy thing about the 1080ti is there's like 5 gpu die revisions (350-K1 through K4 and the last made was the 351-K1-A1), with the FTW3 the early ones had vbios switches names Master and slave (mine and yours are examples of that), later ones were named normal and OC.
