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.

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.

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.

The 1080 is sitting here in my newly retired 3770k game box which has yet to find its new life. All these cards have given me long and great service, the TI's having paid for themselves multiple times over.

I still use an EVGA 1080 Ti SC2. Everything I run today runs really well at 1440. The downside though has been the lack of excitement around GPU releases since, and not many benchers include it in their charts. Thanks for keeping them in yours, and thanks for doing this research! It's really helpful! It looks like I'll finally be upgrading this year or next year so I can get high FPS on a 4K monitor. RT looks great, and I'm rooting for it, but I've been around since the software rasterization days, and I'm running all of my games right now at >100 FPS at very high resolution and detail! I can't give that up now!

It was crazy times. Back then i just bought a all new gaming rig with a 980ti. The thing was bent inside the box and i sent it back. Then they announced the 1080 and i bought TWO of them on release day (FE). There was no artificial shortening of availability back then. Slapped waterblocks on them. Had them for a while in SLI which mostly sucked and then sold one to someone else that wanted to buy a 1070 (i just told him, give me the money you wold spend for the 1070...). Then 2080Ti was released. Got founders (had to be bought thru nvidia store for the first time), artifacted... RMA was a huge pita. Got another non founders then and that is the most recend card i bought, because of the purpusful shortage of available products and prices. The 1080 is now with the stock cooler in my "office pc"
@JJFX- 25 днів тому
Yup and the FE's overclocking ability was often overshadowed by the mediocre cooler. Even Jensen indicated they used the better silicon for themselves. With a clearance water block and a ~300W bios mine can run 2100 @ 1.0V daily. Memory isn't anything special but it'll gain performance up to about +500. That's often a ~15% uplift from the charts in this video while GPU temp doesn't even pass 40C. I love this card.

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).

Unfortunately Nvidia gives us more opportunity to create negative reviews. I am moving on to either a 4070 TI Super or a 4080 Super....have not decided yet. If feel like the 4070 TI Super is really a scaled down 4080 and might have a level of longevity and a better price to performance ratio than the 4080 Super. I can get another 4-5 years on that card.

This card was my intro to the world of high end performance. Also, paid itself 10 or 100 times, first letting me win deep learning competitions, then by mining for 5 years and helping me start new career. Ah, and in the end sold close to original price. And one of them is still working in a friend's PC. I still comprehend performance of all new GPUs in terms of how many 1080 ti's it compares to, lol. GOAT for me, for sure, MSI Gaming X is in my heart forever.

This video is awesome. I entered PC gaming at the budget end around 2015/2016, when the RX 480 and GTX 980 were super popular. I moved to an entry level gaming laptop with a 1050Ti during school, so I largely ignored / missed the upper end greatness that was the 1080Ti. 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.

Had an MSI Armor 1080 as my daily driver for a bit under 7 years. Upgraded everything else in that rig that wasn’t the CPU or MOBO, and the 1080 just kept on keepin’ on. It never had any issues. Only just upgraded to a 4080 in late 2023, and that’s for a completely new system build. The 1080 may always be the little GOAT for me.

In January I finally retired the second hand 1080ti FTW3 i purchased in 2018 for $500 (same color as GN's) and the i7-4790K and went for the 7800x3D and 4080 STRIX (not super; got the strix "used" basically no box for a decent price just before super release) and I'm now playing 4k games with HDR and occasional RT on. But I will hold on to that system and use it as a secondary travel PC as long as I can. When the GPU literally ceases to function it will become a wall ornament. This new PC is nice but I doubt it will last me 9 years on the CPU side and 6+ on the GPU. Absolutely legendary.

I had my EVGA 1080 Ti and 4790k right up until 2022. If it wasn't for a spring storm and a bolt of lightning either hitting the house or hitting right nearby frying everything electronic on that one end of the house I'd still be using it. For everything I played including VR and even some of the better optimized AAA (or ones that got optimized over time) it still did just fine, even when asking it to power a 21:9 1440p monitor. I ended up putting the motherboard/CPU/waterblock in a frame and the GPU and block in a separate frame and making some wall art out of them. They both sure gave me my money's worth and lasted me quite a long time.

I'm sorry that you lost equipment. It sucks, I've been there. That was also the last time I ever plug a computer into a surge protector. I spend the extra money and get a UPS. I even plug my ethernet cable into the UPS, then to my PC. So far (fingers crossed), no issues. In my case, I lost a server that cost me quite a bit. The company that made the surge protector called it an "act of god" and they wouldn't honor the guarantee of up to $50,000 in lost equipment. That was during the power outage in 2003.

My 1080Ti is still going strong after 7 years of 8-12 hour days. It was my main work and gaming machine for years. At work I use the GPU, usually for hashcat and virtual machines. Then, after work it's used for gaming. For work I've upgraded to an i9/4090 this year, but I don't plan to upgrade the my gaming rig for another 2 years. No issues yet, nothing I can't run. (I'm happy with 30 fps for many games. I never saw a difference between 30 and 60, even if some people get offended by the notion that I can't)

The GTX 1080 was the very first graphics card I ever bought for my first PC build back in 2016 when I was still in high school. I got the Asus Strix OC edition... I still have it but have since upgraded to a 3090. The specs of that PC will never be forgotten: GTX 1080, i7-6700K, 32GB DDR4-3200 (2x16), 512GB Samsung 950 Pro, 2TB WD Black HDD. It was a beast back then and I feel like the Pascal generation was the best time to build a PC.

Part of me wishes I kept my 1080ti but when a friend ive known for years started to have a failing GPU and did not have money at the time to replace such an expensive part it just felt right to offer my 1080ti as a hand me down. Something that good shouldnt just be put back in its box and left to collect dust in my closet. That was a little over a year ago. Just yesterday she messaged me saying a friend of hers was having GPU issues and she was going to mail them the 1080ti. It actually makes me pretty happy to know its going to help yet another person. I cant think of a more fitting tribute than for it to be used by as many people and for as long as it can mechanically function. Sappy sentimentalism maybe....but that is when you know something was great. When it actually brings you joy beyond what it was designed to give in the first place. The 1080ti was a great GPU.

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

well, couldn't agree more. I got my Msi Gtx 1080ti gaminX (11GB) about 7 years ago, and until this month (april) I was using it in all of my games without zero issues. Played CP2077 in full ultra, starfield, etc. It could run ANY of today's games. I have a lot of modded games such as Skyrim, fallout4, assetto corsa, games in VR, and I could play any of it without getting low fps or any problems. I was feeling like there was no point upgrading it. But then I decided to step up and join the RTX team to enjoy some raytracing and DLSS/FrameGeneration stuff. And oh boy... gotta tell ya, it was a HUGE upgrade, got the MSi RTX 4070ti SUPER gaming slim (16gb) and my performance TRIPPLED. I decided to not sell my gtx and keep it in a backup machine. I mean, the upgrade was not needed, as my gtx was working nice and giving me awesome graphics but let's keep it real, the Msi version of 4070ti super is a BEAST. Zero noise, zero overheating, zero problems so far, my games looks just gorgeous with RT and DLSS
