I'm still riding my 1080ti...
1080ti has had the longest useful lifespan of any GPU ever.
Im still running mine but Im likely to buy a 5090 very soon as Im making the leap to 4k gaming and vr from 2k.
The 7900 XTX is looking like a pretty good option for a fraction of the price. I think i might go that direction. 24GB also helps future proof it a bit.
I had a 7900xtx briefly but a fan died and they refunded the card rather than fix the fan.
They haven’t really been available since then due to stock issues.
It definitely seemed like the better option than the 4080.
980ti here, playing Cyberpunk 2077 at sufficiently high settings without issues (if you call ~30fps 1440p with no path tracing “without issues”, that is).
My 1080ti was probably peak Nvidia for me. It was so good, and I was super happy with it. Truely felt like upgrade.
If you're still playing at 1080 it's still a capable card tbh.
I gave mine to a friend who still had a 660 when I upgraded to the 3080 lol.
Oh yeah, it still gets the job done.
Keeping my eyes open for used ones to upgrade with now that the new series is out though. Gives me an excuse to get the 1080 in my server.
Me too
