I would nominate the Gtx1080 (actually the 1060 6gb too) as the best of the best GPU ever made.
The price/performance ratio at their launch was insane and even 7 years later, they're still valid options for budget gamers.
That’s one. 1080 GTX. And it’s been about 6 years dutifully chugging away
Literally just replaced my 1080ti after about 5 years, absolutely loved it
See also: the iPhone 4S
My 4S became unusable after the ... iOS 6? 7? update; nothing would remain running in the background and apps took several seconds to start.
Switched to Android and never looked back.
Edit: looked up a few dates and I think it must have been iOS 8.
A year or two ago, I needed a newer graphics card because my R9 390 couldn't handle the resolution of my new ultrawide monitor. This was when prices were crazy, everything was out of stock, and second-hand cards were selling for higher than the retail prices of brand new cards.
I got a 1080Ti for free from someone at my workplace because they hadn't used it for a while and would have felt bad selling it while prices were ridiculously high. He didn't want to take advantage of anyone. Good guy.
To pay it forward, when I upgraded my PC I gave away all the old parts (PSU, motherboard, RAM, CPU) for free. I posted about it, waited a day or two, and picked someone randomly for each item.
Be an absolute irresponsible moron and finance one like I did :) who cares about debt when you have FRAMES am I right?.. right..?
Please pay off your credit card debt.
Oh don't worry, I have. In fact my credit rating rocks because of my irresponsible-ness - just the way capitalism intended
You don't need to. If you look at the relative performance table, you can get a feeling for a cheaper upgrade path (if you need it): https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080-ti.c2877
This took me down a rabbit hole, thanks for the link. Time to start saving my dollars. I didn't realise just how much of an upgrade a new GPU would be for me.
That’s handy. Thanks
Bought a laptop with a 1050ti back in 2018, still use it to this day. Though I don't game on it as much as I used to. I've upgraded everything else in it that I could
Accurate, my 970 lives on!
My 980 is still alive, but I replaced it because I thought it had a bad fan bearing. I had just forgotten to remove the protective plastic on the fan shroud, so it peeled off a bit and the fan was hitting it.
It lived in my wife's computer until the psu I put in burnt up.
Tbh if Maxwell/Pascal DX12 performance on Linux weren't permanently degraded, I'd likely still be using mine
HaVe yOu tRiED uSiNg WiNDowS?
I'll switch when it's ready! /s
I used to crossbridge them but then one gave out but it just keeps on pluggin.
It's the circle of life
I sold my old parts on ebay when i built a new rig. Got about 100€ in total and paid 2000€ for the new one :|
I hold on to everything. It's a problem.
RPG stores style!
That's right, if RPGs had gamestops :D
I read it and was trying to understand why Death suddenly speaks German on 3rd panel xD
Only in death does duty end.
My brother said my 1060 is out of date.
So, if u ask me, i have no siblings.
Get back in the rig 1080
The niced GPU I own is a RX590
Radeon RX 580 until the VRAM dies to the idle @50°C temps or the support is removed from the kernel...
Here's a degree sign for you to keep in your copy paste buffer: °
Superscript ^o^, nobody ever notices.
I bought an RX480 6 years ago and while it probably can't run the most modern games, it's still a trusty work horse for the ones I still play.
At one point I realised that my games have been crashing with BSOD for a year because the cooling paste melted and spread all around the chip. Fixed it, started working with no issues.
Its right fan was so loud that I thought it was shredding some plastic part. I replaced it, was fine for a week, it's loud as hell again. But it's still working like nothing happened.
I'm considering to replace the TIM (repasting) + thermal pads at some point... The card is now ~5 years old, and if the paste goes bad that would be end of it. The dust that all boards accumulate overtime is also a risk factor of how long components last.
2x RX580 go brrr
Cue halo theme
Was? No, no you really sucked GTX770 and the only reason I kept you for 2 years in 2020s because there was no other option during the crazy time.
I went from gtx 770 to a 1080ti when it was released. 5 years later I'm still using the same 1080ti with no plans to upgrade.
Gtx 770 is still a fairly decent gpu allbeit terrifically old
amd radeon pro wx 2100 My beloved
My notebook has two GTX 1080m sli. Still great for video editing and the light gaming I do occasionally.
What about 1050ti?
The wife might need a hand me down as well
There is a Kissinger joke here somewhere, I am sure.
