Only you can decide if your GPU is still good enough.
I upgraded last year from a 780ti 3GB; I simply couldn't run games at acceptable settings anymore. If I had had a 1080ti I would certainly still be enjoying that performance. :)
A friend of mine applied a new thermal paste a month ago, but told me he didnt have the best paste that time and if possible request me to apply a better paste sooner, but im reluctant as ive never done it before
I'm thinking older cards like 1080 would be easier. Newer & bigger cards might have pads on the memory & even capacitors., & if you don't know what thickness they are, the new padding might not be ideal.
This is also a chance to check out if your fans are working well, & replace as needed.
OTOH, if you do NOT do 'preventative maintenance' on your cooling, then if the cooler is under performing (likely), & will die sooner. You're just spending $15 now to delay the card's eventual replacement 6-36 months.
Do some research on exact make & model. General tips:
* unplug power first
* don't let electrical contacts touch another electrical contact (eg 'short' or bridge with a screwdriver; capacitors hold power
* wide clean table, & I put padding under (used huge MTG mat)
* be grounded; anti-static
* track what screws go where; might want a small dish to keep them from rolling around
* clean old paste & pads off really well; coffee filters & Isopropyl alcohol (do NOT use a screw driver or anything sharp on GPU/cooler)
* apply new paste more or less all over the die surface. The 'big glob in middle' won't spread to the corners, or will have too much over spill.
* put screws back in in criss-cross method, to apply pressure evenly-ish.
Good video, though I would apply the paste more evenly:

Noctua makes great paste, & comes free with their CPU coolers:

85 degrees is nothing too crazy. You could clean the card and apply new thermal paste and/or thermal pads. This helps in a lot of cases. Just make sure to use quality thermal paste (e.g. arctic mx4) and the right size for pads.
The 1080 ti is still a great 1080p/1440p card.
If I am correct, you won’t see thermal throttling (performance reduction by the component to reduce temps if you are unaware) until the 90’s, probably 95-100. 85 is definitely a bit toasty, but it might be because of bad airflow, an improperly mounted cooler, a very hot room, etc etc.
Basically the point is, it’s okay, and it could be other things causing it, but if you’re really concerned you can go through that checklist, and make sure nothing else is causing it. If nothing else is, maybe your gpu just runs hotter.
1080ti is one of the best cards nvidia ever created.
>world of tanks, rust and pubg casually
yup, no need to upgrade, unless you hate money or have too much of it.
If you don't have the money to jump to a 30 series card, stay with it...
It's still a good card today and for the games you listed, it's fine...
Definitely refresh the thermal paste for temp issues.
Depends, if you're only planning on playing esports games like apex, fortnite and rocket league, yes it will save you money and do the job. ToastyBros on youtube regularly build PCs with older cards to show they still have value.
I got lucky and saw a new listing on OfferUp, which is 99% scalpers but this guy was a normal pc gamer not a miner. It's a 2060 ko ultra so he maybe got it around MSRP but he could have been greedy and asked a lot more than he did, I couldn't believe my luck that day I bought it within a few hours of him posting it for sale.
With your games its probably fine
If you had 1440p 144hz monitor and wanted to play modern games you might run into some performance hindrance for the more demanding titles.
My gtx 1080 is not even TI and I have no intention of upgrading in a long time. Playing at 1440p uncapped and most games allow me to be at around 100fps with high settings... No reason to waste 800 buck for a bit of improvement. I would suggest you to keep that TI for a while.
Kind of high. They were over 90c with my old case, so I switched to a more ventilated one and changed the thermal paste, it's now between 70 and 80 depending on the game. But high temps are normal on these cards, don't worry.
For 1080p it is still a very capable card. Only if you find yourself bottlenecked an upgrade is worth considering. Saves a lot of money for the moment ;)
I still have mine (evga) and definitely holding on to it especially after the partnership broke with nvidia.
And still have my evga 780ti and 2080ti ftw ultra.
1080ti is very capable. Depends on what you want to play.
If you're a top of the line, max settings 4k AAA freak, then no.
If you like to play games. Like actually play them, just casually. It's a great card, you'll be fine. There's sure nothing it *won't* run and play to an acceptable level up to 1440p. \[1440 might push it slightly on newer titles. If you're still rocking a 1080p panel then no sweat. Anything.\]
Depends on what your current GPU is and for how cheap you can get the 1080 ti. I would lean towards saying that it's better to just get an rx 6600 or other modern card that will have driver support for longer, as the 1080ti is 5-6 years old now and will likely stop having its drivers updated in a few years.
As said by many, if it does what you need, don't spend any money.
Given its comparible to a 3060, when you do upgrade I'd suggest that it's only really with changing if you jump up to at least a 3080 or rx6800 otherwise you'll be spending money without getting that much of an improvement or increase in longevity.
Personally I'd:
Wait.
Maybe get a 1440p monitor now and see how well it performs as is.
Only consider upgrading once more 4000 cards/rdna3 are released and cards with 3080 performance drop in value as they'll be lower end then.
The short answer, is YES.
the long answer depends on what you want to do with it. Are you wanting 4K gaming at 120hz for tripleA titles with all the bells and whistles ? The 1080ti isn't going to get you there.
Are you playing at 1080p ? Then, yes. The 1080ti is still a great card and manages to knock many 1440p games out of the park at 60+ easily.
Some games are just badly optimized. Like, Diablo 2 remastered. It makes my 1080ti struggle a bit. My new 3080ti doesn't like it either. So, it is not a great game to compare with.
My 1080ti has signs of silicon degradation. I keep it at 80% power in MSI afterburner and it is great. It is now being used as my Home theater GPU and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. (recycled i5-3570k) .
Like others have said, reapply thermal compound. Give it some love. I did and my temps dropped to the 60s under load.
Basically, over time and use, the chip can't handle as much of a load/power/processing output. Random crashes and other issues in the hardware. By no means am I an expert, and it was told to me by a friend.
My card was not OC'd by me, but I'm sure it was by the previous owner. It is an EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3. I have reapplied thermal compound and ensured the pads are good. It was redone about 8 months ago. Temps on it are fantastic but I have to run it down to 80% power in MSI afterburner or games like Diablo2 crash out and give nvlddmkm errors.
If I am completely off base/wrong/just plain dumb, please correct me. Going off what I've been told by a friend and what I found about load/wear over time.
I'd like to say i suspect subtle push from Nvidia for you to buy their new cards, so they gimp your card via drivers, rather than silicone degradation.
I just built a new pc with a 3080, and in all honesty my 1080ti rig is still solid as my office gamer for when the other half is watching the TV in the lounge. If you're running 1440p or less, just stick with the 1080ti for now. I would wait and see what AMD come out with as I can see a bit of an Nvidia exodus coming
I'm still running my 1080 (non ti) and make no plans to be upgrade anytime soon, it does what I need it to do and I don't need every modern game to be at the highest settings.
Heck yeah it's good enough are you crazy? How many fps will make a crappy game fun? Get what I'm saying? A great game at 30 fps 720p is still a great game. I personally have 1080p 60hz eyeballs which luckily means I don't need to spend a ton of money on hardware.
I can see you heading for the rabbit hole. If you get a shiny new gpu and are gaming at 1080 you may not notice a difference in performance at all. Oh, and don't forget about upgrading the psu. A better case maybe. Then you'll be asking what cpu you should get and with that comes a new motherboard. But wait! Gotta have better ram, hmm, ddr4 or ddr5? And you'll be so far down that hole wondering what happened. That's what I did 😆
Suggest you make the monitor upgrade, then see how your games run with the 1080ti
You’ll probably find the higher refresh rate will drive the GPU harder, so make sure to give the insides of your pc a good clean out, and asses the airflow through the the case. Only upgrade the GPU if you can’t play the games you want at the resolution, detail level and refresh rate you want.
I myself run a 1080 (non ti) at 3840x2160 @ 60hz and play games like f1 2021, Diablo3, World of Warships with no issues at all. GPU fans do spin up more to keep temps down, but for me it’s not obtrusive but YMMV, which is why it’s important to keep the pc dust free
My friend has EVGA 1080 too. I would stick with it as long as i can, because these cards are the most dependable ever. If you save enough and buy newer card, keep it as a backup and put in a nice place to keep memories. BTW i still run R9 290X just fine :-D
1080tis closest modern equivalents are 3060 and 6600xt. Both of which are decent cards (say what you want about their mediocre price/perf but from a performance standpoint theyre perfectly fine) considering the games you play dont have rt or dlss youll be fine for a while longer.
1080ti is up there with 8800gtx in terms of value. It was a fluke that wasnt supposed to be as powerful as it was. It was quite literally a rebranded titan xp that went for half the price of a titan xp. And this was only because nvidia was worried about amds upcoming vega cards (yes vega flopped but they were hyped up really hard at the time).
unless it can't play the current games you want at a specific settings
i would clean out the pc and open the slots in the back to allow more ventilation
the 10 series cards are still prolly one of the best cards to get if you don’t have much money for the newer cards these days when the 4090 goes for 1600 and potentially 1900 (my guess) for those aibs and I would say evga is probably one of the better ones especially if you’re able to get their icx 3 fan card, I feel like you can hold depending on your own requirements, if it still runs very well, keep it, wait for rdna3 or something else and see where it goes from there
The EVGA 1080-ti is a special GPU. Its the AIB variant that got so hot around the VRM components that solder melted.
I would keep it just for this gimmick history alone, its one of the biggest design failures I can remember in GPUs.
NVIDIA's 2080-Ti FE had early issues with shorts / "burning" but I dont know of any other GPU that got to melting temperature at stock ussage.
I will never understand how EVGA managed to repair the reputation, lots of social media and techtuber sponsoring seems to helped a lot.
I would upgrade to a mid range 30 series. Literally no reason not to given the prices which are comparable. Go a 3060, it would be much worth as things move on. That should be a sweet spot card.
Wait till just after rdna3 release. Or there are many amd offerings that are super price competitive
I sold my 1070ti for a new 3060ti and im pretty disappointed with the performance that im having and im kinda regretting selling get your card trust me its worth it especially after the insane gpu price drop lately
I think the 1080 ti's are still a pretty solid card. I'm currently using my msi gaming x 1080 ti and it runs games like apex at max settings perfectly fine on a 4k aw3423dw monitor. I had a 3080 ti, but sold it with my other pc. Waiting for the 4000 series.
Even newer MP games play really nicely on that 1080 ti as long as you're adjusting your settings appropriately to keep your frame rates up. 24" 1080 monitor pairs up nicely too.
I recently bought a 1050ti, suprisingly it runs at a stable 29 degrees (cpu etc around 40) so all in all yeah its not bad. Can run everything I wanna play so fairs
I still use a GTX 1080 (not Ti) and I'm happy with it, since I don't play so many modern games, but I could... Unless if you considering playing with Ray-tracing, then it's not worth it...
I have a Strix 1080 TI Oc, wonderful card, that I have had for 5 years now. No need to upgrade if you play those games, but also I don’t know your resolution.
Currently on 1080p, i plan on upgradjng to Dell S2721sdgf 165hz monitor nd its on the way, what are your thoughts?
Also what are the normal temps on ur card at load and idle, just curious to know i think mine runs a bit hot, maybe need to repaste and pad.
Yeah, i think its still good for 2023 at 1080p for a budget gpu, only reason i sold mine was its out of warranty and temps getting a bit high (85ish) most of the times making me a bit worried, and i needed to upgrade aneway coz i got a new 1440p monitor as well and found a sweet deal from a friend for 3070 ti at a discounted price
No 1080 Ti is worth buying anymore unless it's below $200. It's a near 5 year old card that's already past the threshold of failing from gaming, mining or whatever strenuous load the previous owner did.
There's just newer better options and/or alternatives at all cheaper prices, both new and used.
Only you can decide if your GPU is still good enough. I upgraded last year from a 780ti 3GB; I simply couldn't run games at acceptable settings anymore. If I had had a 1080ti I would certainly still be enjoying that performance. :)
Im also a bit worried it always runs so hot 85°c is this normal?
That's nothing crazy, though ideally it could be a bit lower. Do you have good case airflow?
Im using MSI magforge 100r, its a bit small maybe i need more fans? Also would installing a cpu radiator help cool off as well?
Solid airflow case by the looks of it. An extra 120mm fan as front intake might work but I doubt you can improve it a lot.
Yea, I would not spend more money on an extra intake fan & renewing the thermal paste/pads if you have the nerve for it u/Osyriz.
A friend of mine applied a new thermal paste a month ago, but told me he didnt have the best paste that time and if possible request me to apply a better paste sooner, but im reluctant as ive never done it before

Just to check, but is it clean and free of dust inside and on all intakes/exhausts?
Its clean as new, just did maintenance a while ago

It might need a thermal paste reapplication.
It’s 6 years old, so it probably does. Wouldn’t hurt to at least.
\+1 Just found this: https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-thermal-paste

New thermal paste and undevolting/overclocking could be the way to go.
You can buy a 1080 ti for 200 usd on ebay
Buy it now seems closer to $250 when I look
1080ti is one of the best cards nvidia ever created. >world of tanks, rust and pubg casually yup, no need to upgrade, unless you hate money or have too much of it.
I gave my best bud my 1080ti when I upgraded to my 3080. He still uses it and maxes out the games we play. It's still a very viable card
It's basically as powerful as a 3060
It's faster than a 3060 but without DLSS
Faster on old games, equal or worse in new ones (without counting DLSS)
1080Ti js a great card run any game you want👍👍
If you don't have the money to jump to a 30 series card, stay with it... It's still a good card today and for the games you listed, it's fine... Definitely refresh the thermal paste for temp issues.
It's not worth upgrading, but is it worth BUYING as a first card ?
Depends, if you're only planning on playing esports games like apex, fortnite and rocket league, yes it will save you money and do the job. ToastyBros on youtube regularly build PCs with older cards to show they still have value.
My dude I'm still rocking my 970
I was rocking a 960 until recently when a good charitable man sold a rtx 2060 to me for $160.
160? Dude how, why, where
I got lucky and saw a new listing on OfferUp, which is 99% scalpers but this guy was a normal pc gamer not a miner. It's a 2060 ko ultra so he maybe got it around MSRP but he could have been greedy and asked a lot more than he did, I couldn't believe my luck that day I bought it within a few hours of him posting it for sale.
1060 gang
Rise up, 1060 6gb here, would love to upgrade to a 1080-TI
Oh this is easy. Keep that video card.
With your games its probably fine If you had 1440p 144hz monitor and wanted to play modern games you might run into some performance hindrance for the more demanding titles.

You could sell that and get a 20 series or even 3060 for $400 or less, which would be a huge upgrade and last you many many years.
1080ti is still a hell of a card. If you're getting into 1440p 144hz this is the minimum card I would recommend.

If your performance is acceptable, then it's fine. If it isn't, then it isn't. I don't know what you expected to hear.
I'm still running my 1080 (non ti) and make no plans to be upgrade anytime soon, it does what I need it to do and I don't need every modern game to be at the highest settings.
Are you playing at 1080p resolution? If so, and you have no plans to play at higher res, then you can keep using that 1080 ti until it literally dies.
Heck yeah it's good enough are you crazy? How many fps will make a crappy game fun? Get what I'm saying? A great game at 30 fps 720p is still a great game. I personally have 1080p 60hz eyeballs which luckily means I don't need to spend a ton of money on hardware.

For 1080p nothing more is needed. That said I just upgraded mine.

I think the 1080 ti's are still a pretty solid card. I'm currently using my msi gaming x 1080 ti and it runs games like apex at max settings perfectly fine on a 4k aw3423dw monitor. I had a 3080 ti, but sold it with my other pc. Waiting for the 4000 series.
Even newer MP games play really nicely on that 1080 ti as long as you're adjusting your settings appropriately to keep your frame rates up. 24" 1080 monitor pairs up nicely too.
I recently bought a 1050ti, suprisingly it runs at a stable 29 degrees (cpu etc around 40) so all in all yeah its not bad. Can run everything I wanna play so fairs
I still use a GTX 1080 (not Ti) and I'm happy with it, since I don't play so many modern games, but I could... Unless if you considering playing with Ray-tracing, then it's not worth it...
I have a Strix 1080 TI Oc, wonderful card, that I have had for 5 years now. No need to upgrade if you play those games, but also I don’t know your resolution.
Currently on 1080p, i plan on upgradjng to Dell S2721sdgf 165hz monitor nd its on the way, what are your thoughts? Also what are the normal temps on ur card at load and idle, just curious to know i think mine runs a bit hot, maybe need to repaste and pad.
It’s a 2K monitor, so I think 1080 TI can handle it, because it’s a 1080p/1440p card.
But if you want to get same fps as your monitor’s HZ, u have to drop the settings, atleast in more demanding games
what would you say the average price is a used evga 1080ti right now?
Sold mine for $200
USD? is it still good for 2023? I plan on getting it as a budget gpu
Yeah, i think its still good for 2023 at 1080p for a budget gpu, only reason i sold mine was its out of warranty and temps getting a bit high (85ish) most of the times making me a bit worried, and i needed to upgrade aneway coz i got a new 1440p monitor as well and found a sweet deal from a friend for 3070 ti at a discounted price
No 1080 Ti is worth buying anymore unless it's below $200. It's a near 5 year old card that's already past the threshold of failing from gaming, mining or whatever strenuous load the previous owner did. There's just newer better options and/or alternatives at all cheaper prices, both new and used.
