Thread 717562663

If it doesn't run on a GTX 1080, it isn't worth playing.

You're poor, we know.

It's time to upgrade, sanjeet.

>>717562878
Everything I want to play still runs without issue.

It's time to upgrade, sanjeet.

sanjeet if you're reading this do the needful and don't upgrade until the card breaks and can't be repaired for cheap

>>717562663 (OP)
It can run it . Just at low settings

>>717562663 (OP)
i'm still on my GTX 1060 that i got for compute and CUDA development
still works just fine

>>717563454
If I had a 1060 instead of a 1080, I'd be using that example instead.

>>717562663 (OP)
it's a 9 year old gpu. remind me why we should expect almost 10 year old hardware to properly run a current year game on the highest or near-highest settings?

maybe 3ish years ago yeah
not anymore
no free lunch in software dev anon

>>717563659
It will at 1080, Only upgraded to 4K 144hz/fps this years beginning.

>>717563659
why are adding stipulations?

>>717563659
>the gtx 1080 is the definitive card for 1080p gaming
pretty kino
just upgraded from a 1070 last month
amazing card series, nvidia just doesnt stop winning

>>717563829
whats the point of playing games on low settings unless its a competitive shooter or the like? or you literally just dont care how a game looks - which would make you a tiny minority of users

>>717562663 (OP)
This is true, only because the only games worth playing came out 20+ years ago

>>717563842
did you really go from a 1070 to a 1080? no way man. thats sidegrade territory

i have a 5070ti and 9800x3d and i get 90+ on ultra in BF6

>>717563949
no, 5080, but im happy i ignored the retards telling me "future proofing" wasnt a thing and were trying to get me to settle for a 980 back when i built it

1070 paid for itself + the entire rig mining eth

>>717564098
based, enjoy bro. im an early 3080 adopter ($700) and i dont see myself upgrading for a very long time. most shit is still cpu bound anyway

>>717564193
i need to upgrade my 3080 cuz i dont wanna go back to 1080p

i'm on like day 1800 of waiting for sane GPU prices.
don't even want a high end card, the midrange just fucking sucks dick.

is a 5700xt still good in current year? how long does one typically last? mine's almost 6 years old and is getting funky crashes every couple of days but idk what's causing them specifically

>>717563659
Because the 10 year old gpu has 10 tflops of FP32 compute power and 512gb/s of bandwidth, which is still 4 times the compute power of the most modern igpus?

>>717565198
>expecting infant cpugpus to outperform a dedicated powerhouse

>>717565093
>sane gpu prices
anon, the world has changed, we printed more money than ever before, these *are* "sane" prices because the overlords have decreed them as such

you literally just need to earn more money, there is no other option

>>717563906
That card can play all the good games maxed out at 4K.

>>717565093
Yeah well I'm on like day 3200 because I've got a 1060 (heh, 8GB of course)

>>717562663 (OP)
Pretty much, I fucking hate that I fell for the RTX meme when there's no good new games.

Are people actually mad that others are enjoying their 10 year old cards instead of spending thousands every other year?

>>717567990
not at all.
but those old cards are glorified on here rather than called out for what they are, junk

>>717562663 (OP)
You're poor and brown lol

>>717567087
>>717562663 (OP)
gonna get the equivalent of an SLI setup Pascal/Volta enterprise 100 bin gpu to have developer power for the 1080TI generation and make my own games, with hookers and blackjack

>2500k
>970ti
>never obsolete

>>717563659
>current year game
There's your mistake, friend. All the best games were made before 2016.

I still run a 1080ti and my old OS, literally no problems, best UI, no AI, bloat, or forced updates, secure. Legacy games run perfectly fine, and the controls on the OS and card are not dumbed down.

My newest system runs a 4070, not great, but still good for modern needs. Windows 11 is required, and utter shit.

>>717563659
these cards are just this good, if you can't optimise a game for that generation then the game is absolute trash heap
