I recently upgraded from a 1080ti to a 7800XT. Sold the 1080ti on ebay, so hopefully it will continue on with a new life.
I’m expecting some good build opportunities in Spring 2024. Plan is to build two desktops, one AMD-heavy with the Arch-based Steam OS and another Nvidia desktop with Nobara and space for windows 12.
Storage on a self repairing raid array on a PCIx16 adapter is looking amazing, but hardware raid configurations are still preferable to software configs and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.
My 1050ti is still working nicely for everything I play, but I would like some rendering speed improvements in blender so maybe I'll upgrade in some years
radeon rx 480 gang
I'm still rocking my 380
I mean, I dont often play games, but my 2016 laptop handles them (not very well). It has an i5 cpu and a radeon r7 m440 gpu (that has no updates since 2years ago) and I can somewhat play fortnite (its probably the most demanding game ny laptop can play, pubg runs at like 10fps).
I would think a pc with a 1080 can probably play games kinda well.
I just ordered parts for my first build since 2011. I've had my Sandybridge i5 at 4.5ghz most of this time... until the fans died and it overheated, replaced the fans and it was fine, brought it to 5ghz somehow so it could live out its last days in glory, it's been two years. That'll do pig, that'll do.
I have one of these I ended up never using because I didn't realize my power supply wouldn't handle it. By the time I decided to build a whole new PC, I ended up having enough saved up to get an RTX 3080. Video cards were super hard to find at the time so I decided to hold on to the 1080 in case of emergency. Do graphics cards matter much in something like a dedicated Minecraft or 7 Days to Die server? If so, I might build one with it.
The 1080 is a spectacular card, one of the best valued cards Nvidia ever released. I have been using mine basically non stop since launch and it's still going strong.
I knew a guy at NVidia and got a screaming deal on a 980ti hybrid. Just replaced it with a used 2070 this year.
I replaced my 980ti two years ago. It was heartbreaking…
Only reason I recently moved from that very card was to play with stable diffusion, otherwise yeah the 'need' to boost things for games and whatnot just isn't there. Might be just that I''ve never been a major twitch type gamer though, more Civ/StarCraft style.
Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them
Ha! Just ordered a few new components yesterday! So long, beloved 1080, you were da real MVP o/
Same but RX580 so a bit less behind.
I will never give up my rx480
980TI still going strong! I don't play anything too demanding anyway and Ive taken real good care of it so fingers crossed it'll keep going till I can afford a new rig!
I also have a 980TI. I think mine might be dying though, sometimes my PC shuts off and sometimes it doesn't start up. One particular time I got it started again by removing my GPU. I just want it to last another year but we'll see.
I was running a 750ti until a few months ago.
Finally had to bid it adieu this year. Probably should have years ago, to be honest.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
