1080’a going to be used until it dies. Don’t have a grand to spend on a card
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.
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…?
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
Accurate, my 970 lives on!
Tbh if Maxwell/Pascal DX12 performance on Linux weren’t permanently degraded, I’d likely still be using mine
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 read it and was trying to understand why Death suddenly speaks German on 3rd panel xD
