My 980ti is still a toss up between amazing or mediocre performance. The big issue is that I bought it for £600 which is a lot of money to me, and new GPUs are 3 times that, or more.

1080ti is still a beast

[–] Mars 13 points 10 months ago

My 970 seems as old as the wheel if you read this kind of threads.

I really need to upgrade my rig…

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 9 points 10 months ago

This is how I've always felt, running on old second hand unstable rigs. But it's better than nothing.

I'm actually considering upgrading to a 1070 (i have a 1050ti)

[–] HoodieGyaru@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

I was considering upgrading to 1070ti but would probably go with the 2070super so I can use dlss (I also have a 1050ti)

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Check your regions rx6600(xt) pricing, both cards are much faster than a 1070.

oh actually, I'm so used to amd cards being ridiculously expensive (both used and new) in ukraine that i didn't even consider them. Prices are way more fair here in poland

1070 gang

[–] Polyester6435@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

1070 is comfy AF, been on one for so long now and I haven't seen any reasons to switch yet

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did they remake Lolo Rabbit?

This is a screenshot taken from James Lee’s YouTube channel.

His animation style and subjects are wild.

[–] optimal@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

I remember when the 1080ti was top of the line. Good times.

[–] peanuts4life 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Still loving my 1070!

[–] Velonie 2 points 10 months ago

Same, it works perfectly fine still! My only gripe is the Nvidia drivers on Linux + Wayland :/

[–] Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

I’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.

radeon rx 480 gang

[–] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I'm still rocking my 380

[–] SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why is no one talking about FSR3 and frame generation here?

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Idk fam FSR doesnt even look that great to me. Upscaling is OK but meh. Im on 1080P though, yet. Theres other cool tech though like sub-surface scattering, and its nice to finally be able to let all models load in a scene.

[–] SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf 1 points 10 months ago

I mean youtube is flooded with videos of 1080Tis and RX570s getting to 60-70 frames with frame generation

[–] manual3204@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My 660ti is finally showing its age...

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I have a 670. Beat you by three months!

In all seriousness, they perform about the same. But I can't really play any recent titles bar Indie games.

[–] GamesRevolution@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

My 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

[–] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have one of these I ended up never using because I didn't realize my power supply wouldn't handle it. By the time I decided to build a whole new PC, I ended up having enough saved up to get an RTX 3080. Video cards were super hard to find at the time so I decided to hold on to the 1080 in case of emergency. Do graphics cards matter much in something like a dedicated Minecraft or 7 Days to Die server? If so, I might build one with it.

[–] Toes@ani.social 7 points 10 months ago

Won't do you any good for regular hosting. But you can do AI stuff with it, stable diffusion and silly tavern work wonderfully on the 1080ti

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

I 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.

[–] deczzz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Me just now. Just got 7800 xt after all these great years.

[–] UsedChicken@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

My 980 still plays anything I want fine

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was running a 750ti until a few months ago.

Finally had to bid it adieu this year. Probably should have years ago, to be honest.

[–] rckclmbr@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What did you upgrade to? How are you liking it?

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I'm running a Radeon 6600 now. It does well enough, but my needs are modest.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

You don't need more for d2r and it's the newest game anyone needs to be playing.

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Only 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.

Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them

[–] Toes@ani.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So I've only used those tools on Linux and found it works quite well. Perhaps its a problem related to the windows environment?

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The setups I saw kept demanding 8GB of vram at the time, the card I had was only 4 so it would constantly give an out memory state.

[–] Toes@ani.social 1 points 10 months ago

Oh the 1080ti has 11GB of vram.

[–] Basil@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago

I will never give up my rx480

[–] Raz@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I fucking love my 1080ti and I will never, ever get rid of it. It's part of my first custom gaming PC and I have promised to frame it whenever the time comes I can't use it anymore.

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Just replaced my trusty 1080 non TI with a 7800XT. Thanks for carrying me through the GPU drought, you were da real MVP. I even installed an extra case fan, directed at the GPU to support it's wee fans during the dark times.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

My 1070 is doing fine, thank you very much. I haven't felt any need to replace it.

[–] snazzles@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

*980Ti
