The fact that GTX 1080 Ti has 3GB more VRAM than the almost similarly priced RTX 3070 Ti is atrocious.

[PlayNeth]

Last reasonable nvidia card before they went all in on the greed.

[VygoUwU]

I feel so old remembering when 1080ti was for rich kids

[GonnerMeLeggies]

The 1080 ti being equal to a 6600xt or 3060 (which are still pretty popular) Is crazy.

[brandoncoyle]

The 1070 in my son's PC is still going strong and playing most games he plays (at 8 yrs old).

[iamshiron]

Working MSI GTX 1080 Ti still chilling in my shelf and don't wanna sell it cuz it was my first GPU ever and I loved it.
Replaced it with a 4080 last year in August tho.

[alucard]

Bought 1080ti at launch. Since then, I've upgraded to the 3080. Gave the 1080ti to my nephew. He still rocking it today with little to no issues.

[Monkeymoo]

I bought my 1080ti in the 30 series era and still use it now and I’ve never had performance issues caused by it’s lack of power, while I am saving for an rtx card purely for ray tracing capabilities I’ll always hold my 1080ti close to my heart

[CesarAcostaMontano-nm]

My life is complete.
When I came to America, was the EXACT day the GTX 1080-TI was released

And YES I do take credit for this.

[zenzuken]

My 1080Ti is going strong. I'm planning to upgrade to a 50 series though when they launch

[meridian]

I'm not sure if that minion was pooping out a patch or birthing a patch, but it's not what I expected to see today regardless.

[kevinmeisterr]

I was gonna buy a 1080 Ti, luckily I found an RTX 2070 Super in my area for the same price. It was a no brainer since they perform the same, but now I have access to DLSS, it's more power efficient, and it's newer. Only downside is the 8gb of VRAM. You can't have it all on a budget.

[evaone]

Ive got 2 of them in my system. Still going strong, although lack of support for SLI has dwindled

[Endar]

I actually have used the 1080 Ti up until 2024 august. It was awesome but started to feel weak since I am using 2560*1080 and 75hz monitor. Furtunately, I managed to switch it to an rx 6700Xt for basically 30$. In reality, 6700 xt is about 20% avg faster in most games than the 1080 ti and this is what I experienced, too. I was very happy with 1080 Ti and also happy with 6700 xt. I am looking for either an 5070 from nvidia or an 8800 xt from amd, next year.

[ravipeiris]

The fact that we are discussing this card in 2024/2025 shows how far ahead of it's time the 1080 ti was ❤.

[Jonesocinco]

Ive been running an Asus strix 1080ti since the year it launched alongside a 7700k. Back then that was a pretty nice setup. I just ordered a 9800x3d and 4070ti super for a new build.

[corey]

People forget that this was advertised as a 4k / 60 card, and that people were mad Nvidia raised prices to charge $700 for it.

We look back fondly on it now, but thar wasn't the sentiment back then. I bring up that it was considered the "4k GPU" because it's funny how people describe cards now.

You'll see people call the 7900 GRE & 4070 Super "1440p cards" just because there are higher tier cards available. But these cards are more than capable of doing 4k/60 in many games, even if there are some more demanding games that exist.

[MirorRflction]

I was able to get a GTX 1080Ti for free as ewaste a few years ago, been using it with a Ryzen 3600 for dual 2K 60Hz displays. It gets 60FPS at 2k medium settings in every game I want to play (Satisfactory, No Mans Sky, etc)

[Aethelbeorn]

0:57 False advertising. That was american cheese not cheddar.

[randallsmith]

The 1080Ti was a beast, that's for sure. Considering where flagship GPU cost is now, the 1080Ti was certainly a value card.
