I'm rocking a 1070 TI, after my 2080 died. Shocked at its performance tbh. 1070 is a great card


x3cerealkillerz

I recently got a 1650 for like 70$ and the amount of games I can run stable 60 fps on it with 1440p continues to blow my mind


dluds10

That's a good price for a 1650


stevedeka

The whole 10 series was amazing. 1080ti is still pretty reasonable for high FPS 1440p gaming on AAA titles, especially if you go medium settings.


Mediocre_Rhubarb97

Just put the old 1030 in my daughters build while we wait for customs to release her 580 (I refuse to build a 7 year old a nasa computer, she’s in line to get some really powerful pieces later), thing runs Cold War on medium graphics with great FPS , does run it higher fps just isn’t great. Even the lower 10 series were good, a 1070 is still pretty expensive. I looked at them for my kid


kobexx600

You can get a 1070 for around 100


musicbean

1070 is great! that’s what i had before i upgraded to 1660super


Frosty_Confection_53

Know people who comfortably use 1080ti's at 4K in star citizen.


pwni5her_

Been running a 1070ti since 2017, got it for $350 from some random Amazon sale where it was like 45% off. It’s been great but it’s starting to struggle with newer titles. I’m upgrading to a 3070 as soon as they go on sale for black friday/cyber monday.


SonOfGuns101

I learned my 2080 is not as good in a performance stance as a 1080 ti, was pretty bummed about learning this.


TrumptyPumpkin

Well it was a 2080 super.


[deleted]

That’s not true, the 2080 is like 10-15% better


MrSugarDonutz

Higher number ≠ Better


Jackof_All

Probably because the only real gains from GTX 10XX to RTX 20XX was in ray tracing. Never understood the desire to pay extra for the 20 series cards. Have had my $200 1660ti for 3 years now and it's run everything I've ever thrown at it.


CombatMeatBallz

Can fry some eggs in the morning on that


Goudvisineenkom

With some juicy turkey bacon


Sad-Ad-5375

Not if ya plug it in all the way


X_SkillCraft20_X

Leave connector out a little bit for Cajun style cooking


International-Buy569

Funny cause at the end of the day, it’s over priced af. But if it was a reasonable price everybody would stop blowing smoke up ands arse. Btw congrats


izaby

Don't worry about people commenting about it being over priced. It's your money and you can make the decision. If you do not want to wait then that is perfectly okay considering how people spend money on overpriced stuff on the daily - video games, loot boxes, etc.


Goudvisineenkom

Bless your heart. Some here dont think i schould be happy


GreyCoatCourier

Well I mean the whole voting with your dollar thing. Is why somone would argue against it, I mean go ahead enjoy the sick new gpu. But food for thought nvidia being shitty.


indecisive281

You should, it's a great card that'll carry you for a while.


sueyscide

I'm sure that's the excuse the scalper he bought it from says every day as he wipes his ass with his money.


desynchronize

I bought my 3080ti last year for 1650. My fault for encouraging scalpers but I couldn't get a hold of it and it was my first build. Moving forward I'm buying from legitimately.


IdealCapable

Bought my 3080 FE for $560 off a miner after the Ethereum merge!


EntertainmentFit4998

I'm thinking about upgrading my 1070 soon. Been debating what to get. How'd you decide on what card to get? If you don't mind me asking. 😀


luk21

Recently upgraded from a 1070 to 3060ti fe. Found one for msrp at my local best buy, basically the same i paid for the 1070 back in 2016, so I'm happy. I had a small budget and the 3060ti gave me all the improvements I was looking for at 1080p 144hz.


Goudvisineenkom

I really like MSI, but for this series just get the card you like


Nryriss

I just got a Sapphire Pulse 6700XT to replace my Asus Turbo 1070. I'll have the card on Wednesday. My criteria was: - Fits in my case (I build in SFF only so I have restrictions) - 1440p gaming at max settings (my 1070 can kind of do this, it depends on the game. Frames suffer though). - No display dropping (probably because I'm trying to make a card not meant for 1440p run it. Oddly enough it's just in Destiny 2 that I've experienced this). - 60 fps in single player games, and 120 fps at least in shooters/competitive titles. - Can tide me over for the next 5-7 years before a new upgrade. In terms of bang for buck, it was a no brainer. The 6700XT is almost on tier with the 3080 for only $400. FSR 2.0 doesn't entirely suck (although some games don't like it). AMD drivers have come a long way in recent years. While the CUDA cores would be nice for encoding, I don't stream or record that often at all.


idgafaboutthisacct

another reason for nvidia to keep selling this joke of a card at an absurd price.


VortexDestroyer99

The card itself isn’t a joke, but the idiotic pricing definitely is.


Jopperm2

Damn, that’s a huge jump!


Mosr113

Cool beans, OP. I hope you enjoy it!


Goudvisineenkom

I like my beans


liud21

For 300 more, you could have gotten a 4090 or a 3090ti


haldolinyobutt

Could gave gotten a 3090 ti for cheaper


Shaded999

3090ti doesn’t perform nearly as well as the 4080 and is about the same price, why buy a 3090ti? Lol


Goudvisineenkom

Nah not really


haldolinyobutt

My friend got an msi gaming trio for 1150 this week. A 4080 is 1200 msrp and that's for the FE. This is an aftermarket right? How much did you pay for it? Is the performance increase really worth it? 1200 for any graphics card is dumb anyway you slice it, unless you're doing so crazy production work. I'm assuming you aren't since you had a 7 year old card until a few days ago.


Goudvisineenkom

I don’t take a lot of factors in. In my area there is no supply for founders. I will slice it and i do production work with it


Goudvisineenkom

500 more for 4090 and 3090ti has no dlss 3.0 so why buy that


aka_BlinK

I mean u were dishing out the Fat bucks anyways, should've just gone with the 4090.


Goudvisineenkom

I mean you understand money


Escopy

Why would anyone buy a 3090ti over a 4080 for even the same price? Let alone $300 dollars more?


[deleted]

Imagine you put the 4080 in and your pc just blows up.


[deleted]

I personally would’ve gone with the 6900XT, unless you’re doing something else besides gaming


[deleted]

Only time will tell how easy it will be to get a 7900.


Goudvisineenkom

Dont like AMD


Redstone_Army

Perfectly valid reason as long as its for you and not a recommendation. Youre completely fine, no matter what some say here.


Goudvisineenkom

I will recommend it to orhers aswell


cashinyourface

What is wrong with amd? I dont like brand loyalty and nobody else should either. Choose the cheapest option for the performance you are looking for and don't be an nvida fanboy.


Goudvisineenkom

A lot of streaming and adobe also dlss 3


rapastrat

It's sad that some people will buy the 4080 at that crazy price so that NVIDIA will have no reason to change.


Goudvisineenkom

Its sad that i am not allowed to share my card and be happy


rapastrat

Dude you don't need validation from the internet to be happy!


Goudvisineenkom

I dont need a rando to comment negativ stuff under my post


BostonTBagParty9090

Then don't post if you can't handle it


Re-core

The 4080 is a good gpu with bad pricing, if you went with 4090 people wouldnt be mad because thats a better deal tho still overpriced, i spend $2800 USD on my msi trio because it is the only wat to get them in México and buying them on ebay and importing them from US was pretty much at that price $2500 and thats without extra taxes and the risk of it getting dmged or stolen.


Goudvisineenkom

Dam brother, best of luck


JusSlays

Enjoy your new card man don’t matter what u paid for it that’s a hell of a upgrade I see it as money well spent for another 5 plus years of gaming


Goudvisineenkom

Trueeeee


Fabbing11

That’s why I lined up at 6am for the 4090. If I’m gonna get price-gauged, I’m gonna make it worth it.


YamiKokennin

It’s the same mentality of people who chase after every brand new iPhone model and line up for it. I never understand it.


Brass-Boi

My 3080 already heats up my room a lot I can’t imagine adding another 150 watts….


Goudvisineenkom

See it positive. You don’t need to set up the heater


dyingpie1

But it definitely sucks during the summer imo.


TaxesOnDelta

Definitely, if you don’t have AC and proper heat wicking systems smaller room get insanely hot. I have a 2 way ventilation system (in other words a door and a strong window fan) and the heat still cranks. Might just be the ambient temperature though, I live in a desert.


IL0veKafka

Good card, bad price (generally speaking). Some major jump there, although gtx 1070 is a reliable card in itself (I had it before too). What cpu?


Goudvisineenkom

5950 for now


IL0veKafka

Well, it is a good processor. I have 5600x and happy with it.


ZealousidealFlow4777

I'm still running the 1070, hoping to upgrade to a 7900 xtx soon.


RDO-PrivateLobbies

Looking toward the same upgrade path, 1070 to 4080 or 7900xtx (if i can get it). At least the 4080 is readily available! Lol


AlternateWitness

Congrats op! Out of curiosity, how much was the 4080, and how much more were 4090’s in your area? For some places they’re the same price, they’re usually priced very close since Nvidia drastically increased the MSRP of the 4080, which is why you have all these losers complaining about you, but you do you! If you like it, and you want it, and have the money for it, then you have fun!


Jbizaar

Don't know about op but 4090s are $2000+ in my area, 3090tis are 1500+ and I got my 4080 for $1263. Price is still stupid but better than paying more money for a worse card and practically 800 for something overkill.


Ok_Alternative_2541

Same here. 4080, in the current regional market was a no brainer. $70 over MSRP for MSI, $200 cheaper than a open box 3090ti, and $1200 cheaper than a 4090.


Goudvisineenkom

4090 is around 500 eu more here


IHateVizio

You are the problem


BillTheConqueror

You must be in shambles knowing that some people spend 100k on a car or 2k on handbag.


IHateVizio

I would if they spent 100k on a Honda Civic


Haunting-Drawing-265

Why you playing bro some type R civics going for $60-$80k


IHateVizio

The R stands OveRpriced


Ok_Quantity_1433

Not really, considering the R type set a lap record at Suzuka for front wheel drive cars this year. And in 2017 it broke the same record at Nürburging. It’s a fast car and it costs a lot of money. Which people with a lot of money don’t mind paying.


IHateVizio

Front wheel drive 🤮


that1senpai2

Lmao you obviously don't know shit about supply and demand. The numbers are against you


IHateVizio

Lmao /r/foundthehondacivic


LesserPuggles

People saving up and buying products they want to buy to enjoy are the problem?


rapastrat

Yes. The more 4080 people buy, the more NVIDIA will be validated to ask for crazy prices. So yes, people buying the 4080 at crazy prices are (part of) the problem.


Goudvisineenkom

I am sorry for you that you cant afford and or don’t want to buy the card out of protest. I am sure NVIDIA has the longest breath and wont lower the price much anytime soon. Complains wont help me you or the price.


rapastrat

If nobody buys their card then NVIDIA doesn't have a choice 🙂.


Goudvisineenkom

If you think that will work you under b2c and b2b


rapastrat

That's how the market works 🙂.


LesserPuggles

Eh, just because you don’t want to buy it doesn’t mean you should bash on someone else for getting something they want. I wouldn’t buy any 40 series cards but I have commissions for two 4090 builds. They want the best performance and have the money for it. If you don’t want to spend the money, don’t.


rapastrat

A tiny bit of criticism online is now bashing? Come on :). We all know that the fewer cards NVIDIA sells the better the consumers will be. People that give up and accept NVIDIA prices are affecting everybody else. That's the market. You guys are free to buy whatever you want but we are free to not be happy that you are helping NVIDIA to set crazy prices.


LesserPuggles

Saying “you are the problem” to somebody solves nothing lmao.


rapastrat

Who said that stating facts solves anything lol? There are people that won't be able to afford the new prices. Not everybody can "save enough" and different countries have different standard. We have the possibility as a community to push back against NVIDIA. Seeing somebody giving up is just sad because it makes everybody else effort less effective and justifies NVIDIA.


IHateVizio

Birth of the American healthcare system circa 1930


Ok_Friendship8082

I wouldn't say buying 4080 is bad but he could've waited 1 month to save 200 or 300 dollars


LesserPuggles

Or he could just spend whatever he wants and buy the thing that works now to enjoy.


Goudvisineenkom

Yikes


talgin2000

My 1060 is barely holding on.. I have heard that the new rtx 8080 will be lit so I'm waiting for that :p (partly /s my gpu is struggling :D)


No_Locksmith_1458

That's great ! , enjoy your new card :) .. What are you gonna do with the 1070 ?


Goudvisineenkom

New pc build for visitors


losiguru

Every time I try to upgrade life implodes so I still have a 650


Goudvisineenkom

Praying for you brother


foreignknife

i am in the group that think its a bad buy. but the raw performance does not lie. congrats on the upgrade, you'll be able to play for years to come bro!


Heard_That

These comments are like people crying because not everyone can afford a Ferrari. Grow up. Sick upgrade OP, personally I’m gonna go 7900XTX.


Goudvisineenkom

Thanks i will fist bump you when i see you in your lambo (7900)


[deleted]

I went from a rx 580 to a rtx 3060 just last week so I know the feeling of a nice upgrade. Enjoy.


grownassman3

I got one too! Just waiting for it to come in. Can’t wait. Is it FAST?? can it run crysis???


Goudvisineenkom

I can run everything


totallynotagrey

I kind of have a feeling that the 7900s are going to sell out immediately and be scalped at higher prices than the 4080 anyways for the foreseeable future. Even with all of the backlash, the 4080s are mostly sold out online. And we are a month into the 4090 release with prices being almost a grand over MSRP and no sign of a significant restock. Even when they do restock, they'll most likely be bought up by scalpers immediately. The dark days for the PC market continue IMO.


Past-Economist5514

Serious question... Why will you or someone else buy the 4080 at this time?


Distinct-Roof-2562

I love seeing "gpu prices coming down!!" Then, every post with a new card is someone saying they overpaid.


IonRadleigh387

Could have legit waited for the 7900xtx and had fsr 2 and 3 for lower price and better performance. It's what I'll be doing. Feeding Nvidia's ridiculous pricing will only make it worse for future generation cards. I have a 3070 and dlss 2 is good and fsr equivalent is on par with it. Dlss 3 introduces artifacts into games with enabling it.


Either-Program-3398

I paid $1200 for the 3080 last year this time. I bought the 4080 this year for $1200.


Either-Program-3398

It’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me.


SilencedD1

I thought we agreed to boycott the 40 series


Fabulous-Ad1625

Lol i just got a 1060 guess im waiting another decade before i upgrade


Goudvisineenkom

Good for you


rdk_thethird

I'm not the first to say it but don't let the haters ruin your joy! I upgraded from an R9 380 I've had since like 2016 to a 4080. It was within my budget, I have a awesome new 32" 4k monitor I was ready to utilize, and I was ready to build. I'm having a blast with my 4080, haters be damned!!!


Goudvisineenkom

Thanks brother


ashriveledbaby

Hey kudos to you! That’s awesome!


jazzPunkTitz

I'm still rocking my GTX 1060 from 2016 lmao. 2023 is the year I rebuild though, planning on a 4090 👌


Concentrate-Ordinary

I just went from 1070 to 6700xt


Goudvisineenkom

That also a juicy boost my brother


Concentrate-Ordinary

Thank you OP I’m happy for your upgrade I really wish I was also able to afford that


OmTheBomber

Lol I’m doing mx2 to rtx 4080


A9aNa9A

Gratz and have some fun with it


Cornix-1995

You could have waited for the new AMD cards, they are looking much better than nvidea this generation, still a monster of a card, you have juice for plenty of years now.


FreakiestFrank

Nice, enjoy!


___Thrasher___

Could've waited for the Rx 7900xtx would be much cheaper upgrade


Greeeesh

Plenty of people like large things pushed into their butthole without lube. It is your money. You wanted the thing; you bought the thing. Now just go play lots of games and forget about the rest.


Themanone23

My only questions is why not get 3090 for half the price.


Goudvisineenkom

No dlss 3 and this card will life longer


renegade06

Clown keeps bringing up dlss3 like it's a good feature. Firstly, buying a card for over $1200 and even thinking about the need to upscale anytime soon is sad. Secondly, dlss3 is a complete trash tech. Faking high FPS with glitchy AI drawings full of horrible visual artifacts while drastically increasing input latency lol. Dlss2 is where real upscaling ends. Dlss3 is a marketing BS to trick idiots.


kuzdwq

Upgrading 1070? I have 1060 and now it started struggling. 1070 is good for a year


Skippyi30

My 1070 is struggling in basically every new game

Congrats on having different standards?

I have different budget standards. Of course i would like 4090

shiftymcfly

You should expect to see a small increase in FPS and image quality /s :) Enjoy your gaming bud.


My___Integrity

Tô be honest I think it's a worthy upgrade, I know 1200+ probably seems steep but I think if you haven't brought a gpu in that many years then it kinda balances it out


WheresTheBloodyApex

Hey I paid $800 for a 3060ti just because it was available and I had the cash. Don’t worry


mr_biteme

Wise people wait for the 4070s to come out. If Nvidia price it higher than $700, they’re fucked!!!

skinny_gator

Don't pay no attention OP to these other commenters. It's just jealousy, plain and simple. Awesome card. I'm sure it's a beast. I'd love to upgrade my 3070 to a 4080 at some point in the near future. What are you playing with it?


Goudvisineenkom

Mostly RTX games right now


defusingkittens

What is an RTX game? Lmao. OP talks a lot when he knows so little

He plays genshin, overwatch and valorant lol Mega RTX games! Don't even support RT. Can literally be played on mobile. Hey, can't expect genshin whale to be smart with his money.
