I have never felt more called out.
Ex NummisMine is a FE and still chugging along great. I did replace the godawful stock cooler with an aftermarket cooler with a GIANT heatsink. Temps never go over 60 anymore.
ddittySimilarly, I repasted and replaced thermal pads on my 1080ti SC2 and it is still performing beautifully at 1440p High settings on most things
PooptimistI will replace my 1060 tomorrow for a 4060 ti. Really looking forward to it!
Congratulations! My 1060 6gb was a trooper and my favorite card ever
Same one I ordered for my new build, 4060 ti 16gb oc. Hope it can last as long as my current build I’ve had for over a decade with minimal upgrades.
A 1080TI still plays every release at medium or higher settings. /shrug
Unless you’re worried about 4k or VR, I wouldn’t upgrade anyway.
If you care about refresh rate it matters, not a lot of people can stand 30-40fps with hard drops to single digits just to be able to play a game.
I’m curious. What game do you think drops to single digits fps on medium settings with a 1080TI?
I was playing Darktide on a 1060 with minimum 30fps recently, and that game is optimized like absolute trash.
Starfield.
1080 is the minimum card, the TI is decently more powerful (30%), but you’ve got to make concessions on medium to get 30fps, and there’s drops.
To be fair though, that’s a VERY new game and they cared so little about optimizing it that they went out and said “you’re probably going to need a new computer to play this” …
I hear the 1080ti runs Doom just fine 😛
Every release means every release, and the requirements aren’t going to get lower. It’s a great card and I know people hate losing it, but it’s on its last legs and likely won’t be able to play new releases at all next year.
My 1070 handled Doom Eternal just fine with pretty high settings. I’m sure it helps that I only use a single 1080p monitor for games, but it was still pretty enough for me.
That’s Bethesda’s fault. There is no fucking reason that game can’t run well on a 1080ti for how mediocre it looks.
Sounds like I’ll never want to even play it lol
PsaldornCod MW2/3 are total crapshoots with frame rates, even on a 3080 and set to performance it can still just turn to crap. It seems to run not stable and on higher settings on 2070 laptop. I don’t understand. (I tried to get as much hardware running DMZ as possible for friends and family, lots of machines)
That’s how I akways played games :(
I do 4k and VR on my 1080Ti with no issues, on the highest settings, too. That said, I don’t do a lot of AAA gaming, so take that as you will.
maria [she/her]Have a 1060 for vr.actually works fine
I actually prefer the crisp edges without as much post-processing effects sometimes. Source engine games look great to me, just minimal crisp and clean geometry. I find a lot of modern graphics distracting, but it depends on the game. I do love really pushing graphics for a game like Skyrim.
Modern game engines don’t use the amazing SSAA (super sampling anti aliasing). Most have post processing anti aliasing like FXAA or TXAA which always makes edges look fuzzy. Source engine is one of those that still supports super sampling
Yeah that’s exactly it, MSAA isn’t too bad but FXAA makes edges look pretty blurry. Temporal anti aliasing is also really blurry looking sometimes but gives the impression that the edges could be crisp.
My 980ti is still a toss up between amazing or mediocre performance.
I knew a guy at NVidia and got a screaming deal on a 980ti hybrid. Just replaced it with a used 2070 this year.
CaptainEffortI replaced my 980ti two years ago. It was heartbreaking…
Kadath (she/her)Depends on the games. My 980TI can still rock 3440x1440 in most of the games I play.
The fact that what I play is mostly metroidvania shouldn’t be an issue, right? 😅
My 980ti still holds up pretty well at 1920x1440 (high-end CRT monitors were beautiful things, restart production you cowards) for most 3d games I play on Linux, but it is starting to have performance issues in some games, and I’m getting real sick and tired of the dumb shit Nvidia keeps pulling with their Linux drivers. The current driver gives me horrible black flickering in a lot of games, and of course they arbitrarily lock me out maxing out my CRT monitor (which don’t have a fixed resolution, only a balance of resolution vs refresh rate, and it keeps blocking me from a whole range of refresh rate/resolution combinations). So I confess I am starting to eye the higher-end AMD 6xxx GPUs, and I would definitely try and grab one as cheaply as I could if I ever got a 3440x1440 ultrawide.
Incidentally, how are ultrawides for having two or three windows open side-by-side at the same time?

Awesome. For work (even if I am a Linux system engineer) I need to use W11 due to corporate policy. I have two 34" in landscape and a 27" in portrait. I split the screens with FancyZones.
Time for my bad drawing skills, lol.
In order:
I see
I’m debating getting a 3440x1440 monitor for coding and because I hear they work well with tiling window managers (hence the question), it’s just annoying that I have almost no chances to try them out for free, and also the cost is enough that I wouldn’t get one without serious consideration first. Although you have nudged me a bit closer to “maybe I could get one without testing them first, if it’s second hand and cheap(er)”.
Also I’d be replacing my existing 27 inch LCD with it, and keeping the 4:3, 21 inch CRT, for a highly cursed monitor setup, where everything gets letterboxed or pillarboxed. And then to make things worse, I could grab a 16:10 monitor to put in portrait besides one of the other two, for maximum “what is 16:9 and why do I have black bars on everything”.
They can pry my 1080 out of my cold dead 12fps hands!
Blastboom StriceI 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.
GamesRevolutionMy 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
>me still running a 970
970 here too. A true hero o7
My 960 runs Unity games like Overcooked at 4k, so I probably won’t be upgrading any time soon. With a toddler I don’t have time for AAA games anymore, but I’m guessing the frame rate would be painful.
My 1080TI is still running fine
My original cpu I installed in high-school, well…
Having to run -400mhz on the vram to prevent mine from crashing all the time but I’m hanging in there 🥲👍
Oh that’s a odd problem. What do you think caused that?
I thought it was driver problems at first because it happened so infrequently, but it has gotten worse this year.
It took ages to narrow it down to memory faults since I’ve been running stock settings forever. Stumbled upon this tool: github.com/GpuZelenograd/memtest_vulkan/
Found a load of errors, which went away after the down clock and it’s been stable since. It must be just age related degradation, temps were never high but I know the repeated temp changes have an impact.
Couldn’t this be related to psu?
Max17Same problem as mine! I thought I was the only one. I’m using msi afterburn and tuning down power usage to 90% sigh
I bumped the power up on mine, I might be wrong but I assumed more power but less speed would allow it to keep stable and it seems to be working so far.
github.com/GpuZelenograd/memtest_vulkan/ - was the tool I used to confirm the memory issues. Just need it to hold on till the 50xx series!
radeon rx 480 gang
I’m still rocking my 380
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when humanity is wiped out future species will find a Nokia on half battery and a fully working 1080Ti.
peanuts4lifeStill loving my 1070!
Same, it works perfectly fine still! My only gripe is the Nvidia drivers on Linux + Wayland :/
Did they remake Lolo Rabbit?
Fan art. I’m curious about the top panel though.
Zozano
What the fuck did I just watch?
Watch his other videos, he’s a fucking legend.
Dude has a live-action anime style.
Quite intriguing isn’t it?
Not my take, but okay.
This is a screenshot taken from James Lee’s YouTube channel.
His animation style and subjects are wild.
UltragrampsI’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.

SteamOS
SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go S models. We’re currently working on adding support for more devices.
Not any more. 3.0 is Arch based.
Yeah, wikipedia confirms. I guess Valve never bothers to update their webpages then, this one still says Steam only supports ubuntu
ShellMonkeyOnly 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.
