The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is the Greatest GPU of All Time thanks to a mix of value, performance, and timing on a market teeming with excellent choices. It was an era when the AMD RX 580 was largely competing in the mid-range with the GTX 1060, Vega hadn't yet launched, and Intel Arc didn't even exist as a thought in anyone's mind. In this 2024 revisit & benchmark of the GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 (non-Ti), we're looking at performance today and how it compares to modern graphics cards. Upgrades on the NVIDIA side might include the RTX 4070 Ti Super or RTX 4070 Super if spending less, or maybe an RTX 4080 Super for more; on the AMD side, that is more likely an RX 7900 XT or RX 7900 XTX, or possibly the "new" GRE (with its global launch). The GTX 1080 Ti and 1080 Pascal architecture GPUs can't reasonably handle real-time ray tracing, so obviously those charts are absent. A modern card is effectively infinitely better. But for rasterization, they still hang in there.
This video gives some of the history and some personal thoughts, opinions, and memories on the Pascal era.

The 1000 series was great in general. From a price to performance and uplift perspective, the 1060 was massive (as evident in steam hardware survey). It was essentially an entry level card, which was on par with the last gen flagship (980). I am looking to upgrade my 1060 6gb currently and consider the RX 7700 as it have dropped in price.

I remember back in the day when a good friend of mine won the silicon lottery with one of these cards, it was a reference model blower-style 1080 Ti that ran at 2200 Mhz all its life, perfectly stable in every workload, never crashed once, i'm still jealous to this day...

@rodturner6759 2 месяца назад

Most of the1080 Ti's did this, I now mine did. The 1080 Ti was a reaction to Radeon VEGA, Radeon so overhyped that series that NVidia had a kneejerk reaction and over shot the increase that they normally would have shot for. This is why the 20 series was so lackluster...

@ItsMidContent Месяц назад

@@rodturner6759 My 1070ti went out from a lightning strike, I got a 1650 super as a replacement the same day from Micro Center MSI for like 150 usd out the door. Ran source games at the fps cap, games like dayz/gtav were surprisingly playable 80-100 fps 1080 even multiplayer. That little GPU carried me out until the end of the 30-series GPU shortage. Couldn't even get a good 20 series thanks to crypto bros. My electricity bill also shot up a good amount after getting my 3070ti.

@TheeGlocktopus Месяц назад

@@rodturner6759 No, the only blower style reference hardware model this can possibly be is the 1080ti founders edition. The only way you can get legit reference hardware. They are actually produced first party by nvidia, not under license. They are the exact reference specification manufactured by the people who designed it. These are the gold standard models, and the ONLY models actually manufactured by nvidia. These will out perform licensed 3rd party manufacture cards by at least 7%-15% due to licensees skimping for profit during manufacture and design. I have the 1080ti Founders, and a 2070 Founders. The 2070 Founders grossly outperforms my wife's 3rd party EVGA 3060 and is closer than it should be to a 3rd party 3070. (Maybe 8% less bench score). The scary thing is that the 1080ti founders can still run most modern games, although the limiting factor is starting to become the limited directx 12.0 support. But there ways to get some patched drivers which adhoc in 12.1 and 12.2 support, but not supported by nvidia :(

@wastanley734 2 месяца назад

Just be careful. As an engineer the plug on that is a failure in application. It wasn't ok to do what they did. Just to only use 1 plug. Reducing 12 power pins with larger surface area to 6 power pins is a very dangerous thing. Why such a high percentage is failing. People say it's a consumer error problem but it isn't. I've said that since release. But de8ueur recently showed and proved it. As that card ages efficiency decreases with age increase wattage and why we are seeing the problem increase.

I'm not surprised you made this video. I remember the 2080 Super review "NVIDIA, we get it, you made a 1080Ti" and knew what Steve and the GN team thought of the card. I'm glad y'all made this retrospective. To me, 1080/1080Ti were the last NVIDIA GPUs where you really felt you got something special. They were efficient, cool, with incredible performance. I never overclocked my 1080Ti because it was that good out of the box. My 1080Ti went into three different systems before I overpaid for a 3070 in one of newegg's Bundle deals (At least my bundle was a 3070 and a monitor, which I use). The 20 series left me going "Juice isn't worth the squeeze" because I didn't have any games I was playing that used RT. Then the 30 series left a sour taste in my mouth with the crypto mania, then NVIDIA's price over-correction with 40 series just has me indifferent.

I built mine in early 2018. I argued myself up from 1060 to 1070 to finally 1080, but I couldn't quite justify the ~$200 to go from 1080 to 1080Ti at the time. Finally made the upgrade to 1080Ti last year after snagging a good deal on the used market. It's taken a lot of my games from 45 fps to 60. It's obviously no match for my buddy's 4090 doing 120+ fps, but that card cost more than my entire computer.

NGreedia never letting it happen again is really the big thing. They know they messed up by building such good products that Jensen made specific mention of time to upgrade from it. They got used to the profits they made during the crypto boom and are going to fight tooth, claw, and nail to convince us that graphics cards are somehow worth so much more than they have been over the years while giving us less bang-for-buck. My $450 GeForce FX 5950 Ultra was considered beyond reach of most gamers in 2004, that's $700 in today's money. That's equivalent to selling a 4090 for $700, and they'd never be in stock if they kept a similar pricing structure as the last 20 years.

@ThunderingRoar 2 месяца назад

yea and they also pretty much doubled the VRAM across the board, even ~$370 GTX 1070 got 8GB, and that was back in 2016 when most demanding games used like 3-4GB. Today they design midrange cards in order push you to upgrade every gen

I'm glad that someone actually mentioned the 1050Ti. While it was definitely a budget option, it served a purpose, was correctly priced, and could play just about any 2016-2017 title at 1080p60 on High settings if you go back and look at the reviews. All the modern >75W cards can't manage that and just about all except the 3050 6GB can't even manage 1080p60 Low for 2022-2023 titles. The budget market is still in a derpy place.

In fact they had no 1080 Tis in stock at the time, after a few weeks they got some MSI 1080 Ti Gaming X Trios so I decided on that, whilst in there to get one I spotted the dual fan MSI 1080 Ti Gaming X sitting on the shelf so I bought that instead being slightly cheaper and would fit into my case better. Still using it to this day almost 6 and half years later, runs great with an undervolt & overclock and I re-pasted March last year which really breathed a whole new life into it (was actually considering an upgrade at the time before decided I'll stick with the 1080 Ti a bit longer re-pasting instead).

Everyone argued with me, and said I was pretty much ignorant, then Steve makes a video confirming my observation. Thanks, Steve.

@bruhmoment-ib5dz 2 месяца назад

I recently bought the 7900XTX because its the only logical high end option. Nvidia cant really compete for around 1k. The 4090 is the only better card and costs like 1.5k more. I just hope this card will serve me as well as my 1080 has for the last 8 years.

@T33K3SS3LCH3N 2 месяца назад

I just don't think that 7900XTX will have the same staying power, because so much graphics improvement now actually requires new hardware components (or to upscale components that are currently used in a much smaller manner) rather than just raw power.

And even though now that I consider my current RTX 3080 (bought for MSRP in October 2020) and the RTX 4090 to be amongst some of the best cards that NVIDIA has ever made, it’s hard to argue with these numbers that the crown still belongs on the 1080Ti’s head.

The Titan X MSRP was $1200 while the 1080 was $600, at that point you were doubling the cost for a 40% uplift. When the 1080ti came out an had a similar uplift for $100 it killed any desire for me to get a Titan X. Then the Titan Xp released around the same as the 1080ti with a 60% uplift over the existing Titan X. It was all crazy.

Clicked and watched this the moment I saw it on my feed. Me and my best friend absolutely love this card, and like you Steve, remember when it released and how much of a goat it was. I only very recently upgraded from my 1080 Ti to a second hand RTX 3090. I had a thing for the old 8800 GTX Ultra and modded the cooler shroud onto my 1080 TI, as I loved the design of that card but wished that when it was released was like the 1080 ti of its time, where it was much faster over the standard 8800 GTX. If anyone wants pictures I do have some - great video! Thanks!

Got a pristine, looked new EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 ICX about 6 months ago for $425 on Ebay (long time 100% seller). No box but it still had the perfect original film on the back plate. Stress tested it for 30 minutes on ultra settings, perfect! I had been searching for a year and this one popped up. It's my back-up and trouble shooter. Got really lucky.

I got my EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition in november 2017 for 753€ on Amazon, and i still use it! I love this card, and it really sucks that EVGA got out of the business... it can stant 2k 144hz gaming, no issues, and no useless RTX.

I came across a broken 1080Ti on FB Marketplace last fall. Cost me $50 CAD. $40 at a local electronics shop, new fans for $20 and that card roared back to life. Will go into my son’s first gaming PC. Plus side - has all the RGB ROG Strix features needed for an 11 year olds gaming needs :)

My 1080 Ti still works for 1440p High+ 90-120FPS Avg in Diablo 4, NFS Heat, Last Epoch and 450FPS Avg with 240FPS 1% Lows in Valorant maxed out. Upgraded recently from 5600X to 5800X3D which helps a lot with the fluidity of the games. Lows and Avg are a lot more consistent! I don't think I will upgrade anytime soon if invidia is keeping the prices like this.

@JackDisturber 2 месяца назад

Same build actually. Although upgraded from 3700x to 5800x3d. I feel like modern cards are very lackluster when it comes to cost per frame. Also seeing 8GB RAM on some of them 7 years later is just painful. I've been contemplating 7900XTX and even though I'm sort of AMD fan I feel like AMD is still underdelivering... I actually almost exhanged my GPU to Radeon VII back when it launched but God protected me I guess

@JJFX- 2 месяца назад

I was really tempted to do the same but just couldn't bring myself to sell it. It felt like getting ready to sell off a favorite pet just to make a couple hundred bucks. I can't blame you though, practically speaking that's a great move.

The OG 1000 series cards were pretty amazing, reminded me of the jump from NV's early 5800 series to the 6800GT/Ultra. I still have a backup PC that's a 4790K with a SFF Zotac 1070, I was able to play most games at 1080 ultra or 1440 high without problems.

Didn't even the 6200 beat the 5800 because the fx 5000 series was a dumpster fire?

@lyingcorrectly 2 месяца назад

@@jinxterxI also kept my 1070ti until last year and replaced it with an ARC A770. Not so much because the 1070ti was slow, but more because the A770 was interesting and new. The 1070ti is in my backup/guest PC and still gets used regularly, and is, in my opinion, still perfectly fine.

@jinxterx 2 месяца назад

@@lyingcorrectly Yeah I'm still using my 1070ti, haven't found a reason to upgrade yet, lol. Interesting you got the A770. I still wish there was more competition in the GPU space like there was in the old days though.
