It helps that their prices are rapidly dropping while still providing acceptable performance, so the price to performance ratio is over the roof. The 10 series is Nvidia's best, no doubt.

1080 ti is the most legendary card for me so far

I think it’s the best. There’s never been a similar upgrade (and the 9XX series wasn’t that bad). And we’ll never see anything like that. The 5060 won’t perform like a 4080, considering that the 4060 can’t even match the 3070.

@@cicalinarrot the reason it dont match it is because its not a 4060. That's the huge issue with the new cards from both AMD and Nvidia. They named their cards an entire tier or two higher than what they actually are. So in reality the 4060 very much does match the 3080... the issue is they called it the 4070. Same as the 7800 apparently barely being an upgrade over the previous one. The 7900xt/xtx are the 7800xt and 7800. You know exactly why they did this as well, to upsell them all.

I think it’s been considered as the best of the 2010s for the past 5 years!

The copper special editions of these era cards look good too

Idk, i got spoiled by white Armor fan version (cheap fan motor from low cost MSI line). 8gb RX 570, better than GTX 1050ti

Yeah I love my RX580 Gaming (OC Mode: 1421MHz) + & GTX1080Ti Gaming X (Boost: 1657MHz) with this cooler shroud, not only look good but also great temps while super quiet. MSI says 1657MHz for the 1080Ti Gaming X but mine self boosts to 1974MHz without an OC or Power Limit increase.

Idc on designs. I love gpu without lights

Also white armor cards were good design.

Yeah bad optimisation will be the death of a lot of old cards I think

@@RandomGaminginHDdefinitely and with what’s to come this year 😅

@@RandomGaminginHD Or poor sales on newer games.

I'd be grabbing two of them at that price and trying SLI to see if that makes any difference.

I literally just got an evga 1080 for 100$ usd. I love how well it still runs

I’ve always thought it made most sense to try and find a nice balance :)

makes perfect sense. If I compared my 2070 super to 4070 in ultra of course 4070 crushes my card. However, make some adjustments and you can get comparable results that shows card still has life in it. @@RandomGaminginHD

@@RandomGaminginHD Both types of data are interesting and useful, but for the majority facing purchasing decisions indeed the balanced approach is often more applicable. There is the idea that max settings on a GPU now will mirror what medium settings will be like on the same GPU in 2 or 3 years' time, but I've not seen anyone actually prove that's held true in the past, it's become more of an accepted thing even though it may be without merit.

Same, not sure what I'll upgrade to later but it's fine, for now.. I do eventually want to move to 1440 gaming, though.

@@hhaste just bought a 1440p monitor for my 1070 setup, it can handle it but for demanding games you will need very reduced settings. I'm only upgrading because I want to play pcvr.

@@PlumberGuy-ez9wxStill holds pcvr well imo

@@Gukaru depends on what you play, it defiantly works but you can barely push playable framerates on most games.

i gave mine away toa buddy of mine, still runs alikea dream after i re did eveything, cleaned it up, just be careful with some gamesXD

This card was still a beast though. I had one until about Summer of 2021. I upgraded shortly after the 3000 series came out but it was still doing a fine job and I was playing at 1440p back then.

Given that it is indeed fast enough for a lot of games, something I did for a high efficiency build for a friend was fit a 1080 but set a power limit which reduced its performance by 11% to that of a 1070 Ti, cutting load power consumption by 25%. As a result, load draw was only around 115W for the whole PC, which is ironic compared to a real 1070 Ti. Even better, the entire setup (5600X, 16GB/3200, 1TB NVMe, MSI 22" 1080p Freesync monitor) had an idle draw of just 34W. Old higher tier GPUs can have a lot of scope for efficiency optimisation while retaining good enough performance.

Whats funny is that its basically a GTX 1080 without GDDR5X. I remember all the 1070 Ti's had the same clock speeds and there were no overclocked models because of how easily it could match or beat a GTX 1080 with just a little OC.

@@Teesquared00 Perhaps in part why it wasn't well received at the time, but then of course one could also oc the 1080 so the oc overlap aspect is a bit moot, that's long been the case for most GPUs because the gaps between SKUs are typically so narrow, even without the tier-spliting Ti models. Even funnier is how back in the day a lot of people so objected to factory oc models in reviews, even though the reality was reference models were often harder to find or more expensive anyway, the row about the 850MHz EVGA GTX 460 FTW being a prime example; I thought it was fine because pricing & availability meant that reference models rarely made any sense, plus back then they were usually kinda ugly.

I'm still using it in stock form, with afterburner & a custom fan curve.. never goes above 69C while gaming

shame on you... :)

You're welcome!

Yeah with the right settings it’s still great

Same here, got one just before the GPU drought and it's still great

All the cards that had 8 chip memory configurations and higher held up well from the DDR5 era, and the 1070ti was a beast in 2017.

GTX 1660ti OC 🫡🫡🫡, capable for light 1440p

I have the Asus gtx 1070 paired with a i5 8500 6 core more a less same frame rates this gpu is still a beast
