Just retired my 1070 for a 4070 yesterday. The 1070 really held up well for a long time.

Pascal has been an amazing generation. I gave my brother my original gaming pc with the i5 8600k + GTX 1070 as I built a completely new machine and he's loving it.

Retired my old 1060 for a 4070ti a couple months back, I can’t lie that 10 series was just such a great series

Last December I built a i7-1300KF/RTX4080 system to replace my old i7-8700/GTX1080ti rig. While the new system is orders of magnitude above the old one, I have fond memories of how well the former PC served me for over 5 years. The 10X0 series was truly special.

I just picked up a 1070 for $50 a few weeks ago. Such a great deal for that card. Incredible for 1080p and even some 1440p gaming.

This is the first benchmarking video of you that I saw, and I'm just amazed by the amount of details that you manage to put in while making it simple and easy to understand. Great work!

Still have my GTX-1080 founders edition in my other Gaming PC. Works so well even to this day. When released It was way ahead of its time!

I had exactly the same model of the GTX 1080, excellent card, a month ago I retired it for the RTX 4070, a big change, but the 1080 was sensational for 6 years

The Pascal cards were definitely pretty solid cards for their time, and still holding up pretty decent now as a result. Honestly, any of them other than the GTX 1050 and GT 1030 seem to have held up pretty well. Heck, people were even getting away with light gaming on 1030s for a short time, which is pretty impressive for a basic display card. Looks like the 1060 unsurprisingly is starting to fall behind. Might be ok for light gaming if you get one cheap enough, but the 1070 and 1080 are clearly coming out ahead for newer titles while the 1060 just struggles. I actually just upgraded from a similar performing card, RX 480 8gb. Still pretty good for some older titles in 1080p, but just doesn't compete with the newer more powerful cards in more current titles. My replacement card is actually an RTX 3060 I bought for $200. Saw some benchmarks of it compared to some other cards for around $250-300, which did come out a little better than the 3060, but costs a little more than what I paid. Honestly the only thing that made me regret paying $200 for my 3060 was picking up two more 3060s for $300 a couple weeks later. At $150 a pop, I think I'd take that over the 1070 or 1080 any day considering it comes out ahead in most titles, is gonna have better ray tracing performance, and will more than likely hold up better to newer titles as well. All 3 of them also happen to be 12gb models so running out of VRAM shouldn't be an issue for me with any of these cards.

Honestly Zach I missed these benchmark videos! Great to have them back, but I've a 1050Ti though still watching the vid.

I moved from GTX 1070 ti to Rx 6700xt recently, The Pascal generation was amazing and it was still performing well, but I usually upgrade my PC every 3/4 years and it was about the time.

Just built one of your PCs today and its running amazing thanks Zac

Holding on to my GTX 1080 Ti for FSR3 benchmarking. If they keep supporting 900 series 1000 series has at least 2-4 more years of driver support.

I own 2 1080 tis and run them in SLI, they are probably the best GPU nvidia released other than the 8800. It still does everything I need it to in 3440x1440p@144hz

Great video. I still have my old Gainward GTX 1070 as a backup card, just in case.

VERY nice video. The 10 series was a great series of cards then Nvidia nerfed themselves. 1 more thing, the RX580 2048sp it is actually a 570 renamed, but if you go to TechPowerup and compare specs you will see itt is identical to the 570

Wow, I was thinking about upgrading my sons PC when this video came up! I am so grateful that he used AAA games rather than CS Go. Great video

I'm currently using a 1080 but I do plan on upgrading in the future for an older gpu it's still great and i love it

Huh. I never considered painting the corners like that. Excellent idea for future content.

I’m glad to see someone using ARK as a benchmark as this was the game I was specifically buying a GPU for a few years ago

I retired my 1070ti for a 4070 in June. Served me well for 5 years and it's living in a spare setup with a relative still. Main reasons for upgrading were for streaming and prepping for 1440p gaming

I’m actually very glad you made this video because about a month ago I got a MSI 1070 aero 8GB as my first gpu. I am extremely happy with it and am looking into getting a RX 6650 XT ASrock steel legend

Just got a MSI 1080ti for $80 off of Marketplace and paired it with an i7-11700 and this Dad is GAMING! Consoles for 25 years and now 1440p, it’s a WHOLE. NEW. WORLD. So glad I got it cheap, it worked, and it’s an absolute legend of a gpu.

good stuff man, i recently upgraded from a gtx 650 to a 1070 after using it since 2014 lmao. was able to run 144hz on csgo with 650 but since cs2 came out i needed an upgrade asap, very happy with it.

Still rocking my gtx 1070 fe. Considering adding another in sli config. Whilst most games don't support sli, i use it mainly for playing with ai/vr etc. It should give me another couple of years life before upgrading the whole rig. When i bought the 1070 i told my boss it would last 10years and it might just do that.

Still have a 1060 handy, it's a spare but was okay for 1080P mostly.

Retired my Asus ROG strix 1080 ti last month. Kept it. Still love it...

thanks for the video!!!!

Hey bud, love the videos! Is their any way you can do this same review but with the two different 10 series titans?! That would be so bad ass!!

You should try the rx 500 and 400 series too cuz those would be the cards used for budget builds

I'm still rocking my 1080 rig i built 6 yrs ago runs great for 1080p gaming. Just ordered a new pc so I can start enjoying 2k/4k

Planning on building a portable mini itx build with my old 1070 💪

Still using the 1080 from 2017 with an I5 13600k. Still holding up really well, helldivers 2 on ultra 2560x1080 with solid 60fps. Probably time to upgrade in the next 2-3 years

I'm still running my 4770k with a 1080 (upgraded from a 760) on dual 1440 monitors. I've felt for a long time that my CPU was holding it back since I get A LOT of stuttering and freeze frames. I bet I can still extend it's life until the 5k series comes out if I upgrade to a budget build.

I'm still using i5-8400 and 1060 6gb since june 2018. Surely they started to struggle but they can play ANY game on 1080p lowest setting at solid 60fps

Just upgraded from a 1070 to a 4070 super. It’s crazy how long that card held up.

I got a new rig for myself for Xmas with an RTX 3060, replacing my old system that has a 1060Ti in it. It's nice being able to play everything on high in 1080p. My old system could barely run Far Cry 6 potato settings. It looks great on my new rig, though.

Let's appreciate the fact that he used Starfield music in between the slides 🙂

I got a used 1080 as a gift from a friend and I love it. It’s just a little louder than I expected.

Just picked up a cheap 1070 for a build for the little bro, will be fine for his 1080p needs for a while

I have rx 580 and im getting close performance to 1070, theroic perf is same 1060 but nowadays its between 1060 and 1070. In cod mw2 rx 580 so close 1070 at basic settings and if you play it on ultra or extreme settings you will see the similar performance :D 1070 or 1660 super might be choice for 90 bucks but if you have 60 bucks for it you should get rx 580 or 590. Good video btw we want more with old gpu videos thanks.

I got a screaming deal on a Gtx 1080 this last month, only $60 and it works perfectly. Good n’ cheap upgrade from my 1660

Just upgraded from my long performing 1060 to a 3060Ti, Kinda sad cos I've used it for so long, but the 1060 gave me exactly what I wanted out of it for years, RIP :(

I was a 1050 ti user for around 7 years (just upgraded to a 6700 xt when i replaced my laptop for a desktop) it still holds up for medium gaming. but it was reaching the end of usefulness.

Today I upgraded from a 1070 to 7900xt and I’m so happy with it😊

Zach you gotta do a low budget blue pc build using the blue sapphire NITRO+ 8gb rx 580, its one of the prettiest graphics cards ive seen in a while.

1:00 AM, nice video bud.

Me still rocking the 1050 ti and it working great

rocking that starfield music

the 1080 was such a beast, i finally upgraded to a 3080 a while ago, and while the performance increase was impressive it was even more impressive how well the 1080 held up all this time

I had an Airtop 2 with a passively-cooled GTX 1060, and it did everything I cared about. If the bespoke motherboard on that PC hadn't eaten shit I'd still be using it to this day.

I just retired my GTX 1070 that I had since 2017. It was my first ever PC that I built along with i7 7700k. Just built a pc with 6900xt and a second one for my college dorm with 6800xt. One with 12600k and second with 12400f. Safe to say that the jump from 1080p low to 1440p ultra has been incredible.

Building a portable PC in the Velka 3 on a budget. Was able to snag a 1080 mini ITX for $70 on FB marketplace. Easy W

I just upgraded my 1080ti to 7800XT. It was a trusty workhorse for many years, but in newer games it started losing steam so I finally pulled the trigger. I'll still keep it in my home server for occasional CUDA tasks. I recently took part in a cybersec CTF so I had hashcat ready to go. 1080ti+CUDA still beat the 7800XT+openCL by about 20-30%. Obviously in gaming it's not even a contest, the 7800XT wins by a wide margin.

Im not giving up my 1060 6gb for a long time and i got it when it came out

i have a gtx 1070 for my mediacenterPC and i use it for some casual gaming

Can I ask what GPU was in the PC with purple fans? Mainly what model because I'd LOVE that GPU for my black and purple build

i upgraded from a GTX 1650 to RTX 4070. The 1650 despite being a budget gpu in 2019 if im not mistaken, did hold up well but not without some compromises. Still worked fine for most games i played but i really wanted to have a pc capable of playing games at max settings and the 4070 delivers very well

does the cyberpunk low preset use FSR? I have a 1070 but play at 1440p. Have seen some videos of getting close to 60fps with it. I assume its not using FSR as I can get 60fps on Hogwarts Legacy with a mix of med high settings 1440p.

i moved from 2060s to 4070 ti, 2060s was such a good card for almost 4 years, but this started to struggle even on 1080p, when i moved to 4070 ti there was such a huge jump especially in rt native performance, and 12GB is more than enough for 1080p and 1440p, since even new games use 2 to 3GB, sometimes 4 to 6GB of dedicated vram, but i dont think so games this generation even with rt wont surpass 9GB and with no rt, they wont surpass 4GB

just replaced my 1050ti with a 6650xt at the start of this year it served me well

I'm still running a 6G 1060........I bought it 2nd hand about 6 years ago for £100 because it had a broken fan. It's been a fantastic card. I only sim race, but I only race in VR..........It's run a Rift CV1, Acer WMR, Rift S, Quest and now Quest 2.........It's struggling now with the Quest 2. I have to tweak the life out of everything to get around 72 fps, and I'm looking for a 5700/6700 xt for a decent price to upgrade. But I'm gonna pass this onto youngest son, and I'm confident we'll get a few more years yet.

I can tell you my 1080 was not doing well on newer games at this point, but it served me well till I got a 4090 last September

Still got that gtx1050 the amount of work that goes into making this thing work in current games is quite high

I have a GTX 1060 6GB Strix 3 fan in my pc still. It's still a decent card. I bought an RX6750XT. I just haven't installed it yet.

6:13 I would say re4 is one of the few new titles worth paying for. Had a blast and it was actually a stable experience with no bugs on my play through though it does go on sale a good amount every now and then

fond the channel from shorts, w video

Just sold my 1070ti for a 7800xt and the difference is massive. But I know the 1070 ti I just sold is being used well and is well loved

recently bought the gtx 1080 for $110 on ebay, which is cheaper than the 1060 I bought about a year ago. works well with a 7700k in gaming and light video editing.

still on 1080ti. will upgrade to a 4080 super next month. just got my 14900k with 32gb 6000mhz after having 7700k for 7yrs and pubg had a 100fps boost. without a gpu upgrade xD 1080ti is still a beast

I had my Gtx1060 6 Gb since the dawn of time but last year i decided to invest in a new graphics card. Got myself an Rx7800xt. And damn i hope it last as long as my faithful 1060

I have a 1080 and looking to upgrade soon cause I wanna play games at medium to high settings with decent frame rate

The 1000 and 900 series is probably one of the longest used generations given the insane price jumps after the 2000 series came out. A lot of people decided to hold on to their "old" cards and wait for the market prices to go back to normal. Hell, I'm still rocking my dual 1070s!

I switched my 1660 ti to a 4090. When my 6 hour render took 20 mins

Compared to 1070, 1660 super or 1660 ti would only require 120 watts of power. So, people with 450W builds actually can go with this instead of worrying if your PSU can handle 1070 or not.😊

Finally someone who isn’t using esports games from a decade ago for benchmarks. Thank you 👍

still using a gtx 1060, but sure is struggling in cyberpunk. Considering upgrading to the rx 6700xt soon

got this same evga 1070 for $100 cad yesterday and works soooo much better than the used rx 580 i bought a few months ago hahaha

I upgraded my 1050 Ti to 1070 Ti in 2023. Even though within the same generation, it's a MASSIVE upgrade, and has similar performance to a 1080

as someone who has a 1080sli setup from new hearing 1080 and budget in the same sentence is crazy 😂 but ig that’s how it goes with tech

Still rocking GTX 1070 with Ryzen 5 5600, i dont need better one now so i probably upgrade few months later, mby next year

I just "retired" my 1070ti for a 7900 xtx. Well not entirely retired, it's gonna be redeployed on my cousin's PC. Gave it a refreshing first of course, new thermal pads and paste and dusting. It's good to go for another few years 😃 What a great card

I own a 4070 ti and a 3080. I've never been as happy as I was with the 1080 ti

I put my 1080ti in my lounge PC since I upgraded 😊

I've been absolutely surprised by my EVGA GTX 1070 that I got for 70€, an old mining card. Sure, no Starfield and probably no UE5 games or Cities: Skylines 2 either, and definately no Alan Wake II, but everything else has been working very well. Especially fun is to buy all those 3-7 year old games at big discounts and be able to play those with no worries. Witcher 3 at 1920x1200 on mostly high/very high settings stays at a locked 60fps. BG3 was fine. Prey, Dishonored and Dishonored 2 all ran perfectly just about maxed out. Kingdom Come: Deliverance works really well at 1080p high/very high, only dipping a bit at nighttime with plenty of light sources and shadows. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (with the 2021 graphics update) has been running perfectly at 1080p high as well.

you should make a straight price to performance pc for less than $400 🙏 no rgb, no matching colors, no aesthetics whatsoever just pure optimized cpu gpu combo (because im insanely broke)

Everyone always forgets about the amazing 1080 TI (esp the FTW3 from EVGA) with its 11 GB of VRAM

I've changed my old gtx 1070 for a rx 6700xt in December 2023 after 6 and a half years of service.Sold it for 110 USD.

i went from a 1080ti to a 3080 back in 2021..now im waiting for 50 series.

Can you please test the Rx 5700 XT in these times so I can see what GPU I should get

You should do a 7900 xtx build

hahah got a 1080 fe from a miner 9 months ago for $50.. still running like a champ

The 12GB version of the EVGA 1080 is a much more solid choice imho I just upgraded from that exact card (to a 4070) and it ran everything just fine on high at 1080 but honestly I'd just bite the bullet and go for a 3070 instead as you'd be in a similar price range. I had it paired with an i7 8700k, still have the 8700k as it's still fine but plan on upgrading that later this or next year.

9:00 also uses much less watts

That GPU sag is VICIOUS on that 7700 XT!

For frame rates, wouldn't it be better - though more expensive - to just go for a run out RX 6600 or RX 6650XT?

SItting here and still running my gtx 1080 80 buck bargain...best purchase in a long time tbh...

The GTX 1080/1080Ti was an absolute monster when it was released - the fact it is still able to play most modern games at decent frame rates 8 years later just shows how much of a powerhouse it was at a time.

im stil rocking the 1070 cuz my rx580 died and my mate gave the 1070 to me its a card thats decent enough to run high to medium seting in 1080p on most games i play
