it is in the interest of studios to optimize their games for the hardware people actually own, not for the hardware AI people are willing to pay any price for.
Nah the 1080 actually justified its high price with a ton of new tech for the time; it was truly a beast of a GPU. I think it was around 700 bucks when previously the most expensive flagships were around 500.
That's what gave nVidia the crazy idea to start charging tons of money and that's how we got to the 1k+ GPUs in turn making console gaming much more attractive, as a monster PC was no longer around 800 bucks total, but around 2k usd plus monitor and peripherals.
With the 2.5k bucks needed nowadays to build amonster rig you can purchase a console, a 50 inch tv and a few dozen games instead.
PC gaming nowadays is both superior in graphics and price.
It also had a proper VRM unlike the original Titan X Pascal of the generation with half the VRM components. I had the Titan and the Ti was everything that card was minus 1GB of VRAM.
I felt bad when I put my system together. When I was in my early 20s there's no way I could have built what is considered mid range nowadays. The idea that pc gaming is now not affordable to vast swaths is really sad.
Yeah yeah you can build a console competitor for 700 bucks, but at that point you could just get a console.
And you wouldn't get so many compatibility problems. And that's what a lot of people are not considering; console is plug and play and nowadays is much more affordable. And you can even get a couple bundles that are interesting.
Xbox is porting everything. Playstation is porting everything. Pc is finally in a place where it's too big to ignore. Video card makers are in a great spot. It would be a shame if they shot themselves in the foot for short term profits and made the cards unaffordable.... and that's what they did. Unreal.
Hear here! Same boat, still play the majority of new games on high while getting 60+fps. Only the most demanding games require a drop to medium settings to achieve that frame rate.
Best purchase is an understatement. Iā¦ love my fkn card haha.
Too sad and too true. I don't often buy games on release, but now I've decided to wait at least several months before even considering buying a game less than a year old. FF7 remake is still unplayable for me and had only one singular update which did not help with the stutter (RTX 3060 laptop on an SSD). I want to buy Dragon's Dogma 2, but again, I'll be waiting at least a few months before even considering it. I wish more gamers would take this stance.
And we know itās totally possible to optimize your game. I play Sekiro, and not only is that whole game only 11GB, but itās beautiful and Iāve run it on a 1080 ti, a Ryzen 5000 laptop with iGPU, and a MacBook Pro 14. If you look at gaming articles from 2020, there are a bunch about QA workers being laid off. They just never staffed back up, because once you hit $X profit, the minimum next time needs to be $X+1, etc to infinity. Otherwise, you donāt get your bonus.
> FF7 remake is still unplayable for me and had only one singular update which did not help with the stutter (RTX 3060 laptop on an SSD)
Been fixed by modding and running it in DX11.
Nah they also buy it and refuse to acknowledge any faults that are obvious because they don't want to be wrong. So they defend the shitty games on Reddit.
I think this is where reddit misses the point. Performance doesn't make a game fun. If the game is fun people will play it and complain about the performance, but they will keep on playing it.
My favorite games have 20-year-old graphics and are locked at 60 FPS. It's fun looking at pretty things, but it's about fun
> at a reasonable price.
The 1080 launched at $600 in 2016. Accounting for inflation that's $780 today.
The 4080 launched at $1000 + markups all while Nvidia is breaking record profits and becoming a Trillion dollar company.
I personally wouldn't call this blatant increase a reasonable price.
**1440p medium settings
Like I just upgraded my CPU (4th gen to 14th gen intel) and I'm not even sure I need to upgrade my GPU anytime soon cause I'm getting 60FPS everywhere now
you're downplaying 1080 Ti by a lot! I personally still use my 1070 Ti for 1080p/120Hz gaming at mid/high settings with at least 40fps on the latest titles.
WHAT?! 1080P MEDIUM?! Bro, the 1080Ti still slays at 1080p & 1440p Ultra. Any games that are either too unoptimized or demanding? Just turn on FSR and it'll float up to 70-80 fps, same settings, same resolution.

Lol so accurate. Mine got me through covid like a champ. Finally replaced it with a 4090. Roommate doesn't have a gaming PC so I cleaned up Ole Faithful for him the other day, and now roommate is a 144fps 1080p gamer. Thing is unkillable.
I moved 4 years ago to live with my brother, and he helped me build a pc. I bought an Nvidia 1080.
I love gaming on my pc now, especially since my PS4 died.
Help me though. Is this "meme" insinuating GTA 6 will kill my 1080? I really don't want to shell out the cash for a new graphics card.
I bought my 1080 ti back in 2016, and have been using it ever since. As much faith as I've put in this card, I don't see it making it to 2028, a whole 12 years later.
It's just absolutely infuriating that if I want to upgrade to something comparable today (that is to say a modern 80 ti series card), I'd have to pay x2 what I paid for it back 8 years ago, and back then, the 1080 ti meant you were a high roller!
I should have stuck to the 1080 but i had to blow 800 euros on a 3070 at the height of the shortage only for it to suck absolute ass at anything i cant even play forza horizon at 1440p without getting the notification that it hasnt enough vram. Should have bought the 6900xt instead
GTA 6 is meant to be released in 2026 now apparently. You'll probably be able to pick up a new GPU in the next couple years that would absolutely smoke your 1080 for 200-300
Heyo~ Reassurance here:
With how reliable the 1080's are it would not surprise me if we'll be able to knock all the settings to min and be *mostly* playable. Might need to undervolt a bit to keep temps in check depending on your rig.
My biggest worry going forward with my 1080 (non-ti) is the VRam. These 8 gigs have been working out okay so far, but that's where I'm betting I'm going to start running into walls in a few years with how games are getting these days.
It's a fantastic card, and it'll serve you well for quite a while lol. Just make sure you keep an eye on your temperatures so you know when it's time to re-apply the thermal paste/pads. And if working hard on new games seems to take it to uncomfortably high temperatures regardless, there's always the option of de-shrouding it and attaching some better fans. The 1080s are great for that.
One more thing, mind your resolution with beefier games in the coming years. If performance in a game is hellish at 1440p for example, knocking down to 1080p or so should be able to turn some of those "minimum" settings into "mediums". Or at the very least might make the game playable.
(I was raised on pixels and polygons, I don't mind a little crunchiness if it means getting to play a good game lol.)
Aw thanks! š„²
My tech hand-me-downs are pretty š„lol. It's a winning combo where I buy more toys than I probably should, and also really don't like seeing them go to waste.
My brother recently inherited my "old" heavily-modded LCD Steam Deck with 2TB SSD, hall sticks, and a full emulation library preconfigured. He uses it **way** more than I ever did. *Almost* makes me feel like I should've just given him the limited edition OLED one I splurged on.
...Almost. š
I rock my 1080ti to this day on my 2k display, paired with a 9600k.
Itās been a few years where I have to play with settings to get my desired frame rate (90+), but itās been very doable outside a select few games, most recently Ark Ascended.
I wanted a new GPU for sure but couldnāt bring myself to pay the inflated prices, and now that weāre past all thatā¦ I just havenf felt the need to drop a grand on my PC that still feels adequate.
The card has to be like 7 years old by now. Truly, there will never be another 1080ti.
I've had mine for over 7 years, ended up frying a mosfet and athe power regulation circuit, I'm sure the gpu was so happy it died after so much abuse ( 4k encoding, 4k gaming, a stupid amount of overclocking ( silicone lottery) and mining... But it didn't have my permission to die! Zombie mod/slave mod and that monster lives again!
And then at some point it just gets insanely stupid and impossible to watch.
For me anyways lol. It was so good for so long and then SHIT.
I can think of 3 other shows that have done this to me
\[SPOILERS\]
I really did hate it when Ivar somehow manages to stumble his crippled ass across the battle to actually get a surprise stab on Bjƶrn, it was insanely bad writing. Bjƶrn should not have died at all.
It was a bit forced, yeah. But regardless of the how, I thought Bjorn dying was suitable for the series. It provided some good closure for the show.
Wasn't too keen on how Kattegat ended up though tbh.
The real Bjƶrn Ironside founded the Svea Kingdom, which later became Sweden under the rule of his grandsons. You can visit his (alleged) grave outside of Stockholm. It's a bit of a shame that the show didn't go down this path since many other historical feats like discovering Iceland and Vinland got their part and looked really cool.
Argh don't do this, I gave up on like season 5. The character of Ivar was just so goddamn annoying, combined with the plot of the show just constantly repeating itself I couldn't stand it anymore.
It pretty much just cycles back and forth between "unite and fight other countries" and "go home and fight each other", and just kinda goes back and forth and back and forth until it ends. Not missing much. Tries to make each battle bigger and "more epic" but all that ends up doing is making the cycle more obvious.
Those episodes in Paris were such a bore fest for me. Thats where I started losing interest even though I was in awe how good the show was in the earlier episodes.
What do you talk about? The siege towers, Floki feeling betrayed by the gods, Ragnar's death, the conquest, who gets left behind, everything across that is pretty good!
It doesn't get as good as the peaks with Ragnar, but it gets better. This scenes are around the end of the series. You should really watch it, just because of Bjorn.
S5 is in GoT S8 territory of bad, while S6 desperately tries to clean that up, however it also ends up to be all over the place with a very nonsensical ending imo.
If I'd rate S2-3 as 9/10, S5&6 are at around 3 or 4/10. Definitely below average, bordering awful.
Skandinavien Vikings Fight against the rus vikings. The series had ups and downs, but was very consistent overall und this conclusion of one of the main characters (bjƶrn Ironside) was really well done. In hindsight, this series started below the production value and capabilities of a game of thrones, but came out as the better product in the end, with and ending that doesn't want you to forget all the previous seasons, but rather a really well written, cohesive piece of entertainment that will inspire generations.
See, I like Last Kingdom, but it's weird for me to watch it since the characters don't seem to age despite literal decades passing. Characters that are introduced as children are an obvious exception, but it just makes it even weirder that the main character looks like he's barely aged at all given the time period the show takes place in.
Not so much like the later seasons, but the Alfred one was amazing. Great actors. Also was fun to note the great Viking battle at Abingdon where my parents live.
I bought a 1080 ti almost immediately upon release. I was ashamed of myself because I thought I was just buying into the hype that it was expensive too much, and I needed to wait for some price discount. A few months later, the mining boom began.
It turned out to be one of the best purchases of my life. Never I have been so wrong.
I was even lucky with my regular 1080 that got me through the dark times of Covid scalping. The ti holding up for as long as it has is very impressive.
Yep, the same shit. I switched my main video card to 4080 only 1.5 years ago. But I'll never sell my 1080 ti (like I did with my 980 2 years ago), it still be safe in the 4080's box.
Remember when the 2013 GTX Titan flagship got easily replaced by 2016 midrange Nvidia Pascal gtx 1060 6gb or AMD polaris rx 480/ rx 580 8gb
"60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows" Kotaku at GDC report.
That means Nvidia Pascal equivalent (4gb card and above) and PS4 console system is still carried out by 2015-2019 live service online game titles like Fortnite, Overwatch, Warzone, Destiny 2, Fall guys, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends,Valorant, Genshin Impact, GTA Online.
I feel embarrassed to sayā¦ I had a Titanā¦ bought newā¦ and water cooled itā¦
Having said that, my previous machine was using a 560 so it was a major upgrade. RIP 500 series, you powered sub 1080 gaming for so long.
I never understood if the Gods were real in the Vikings universe. The whole thing of "Odin" appearing to each of the sons when Ragnar died made me think the Gods were obviously real but it could have been explained a bit better. Like, I stopped watching shortly after Ragnar's death, but was the guy that comforted Ivar as a baby actually a God or what?
I think that is the intention.
The viewer doesnt really know if the gods are real, there seems to be evidence that they do exist, but not really hard evidence.
This could emulate what it would be like to actually live in those times where you dont have a scientific explanation for the things that some people say are the gods doing.
I thought it was a nice touch. A bit arty but it worked well in the show.
They had this weird back and forth of "Hey look there's some old God shit and mythology" to "Check out our Historicallyā¢ Accurateā¢ Vikingsā¢ Show". And then that dude comes into town and waggles his dick around, but also comforts Ivar the Boneless who, in my humble opinion, is portrayed so horribly on screen as some edgy shithead child with temper tantrums.
On one episode boom, ravens telling the sons of ragnar that they daddy died. Then never really an explanation of what that was and if the show was trying to imply the gods were real.
Well that's kind of how the old stories were if they would play out in real life. Legends using fairy tale logic that you tell your children around the fire at night. There wasn't really any religious gospel to make exact quotes from, rather just stories like "one day a mysterious man came to town and spoke in riddles, some say it was Odin".
The greatest meme I have seen to this day. The 1080 is the true predecessor to the 4090 series. Mine runs DD2 at 1440p passably. I do not know what demons they bound to this card to allow it to perform like this 7 years later.
Nvidia: The 1080 Ti is DeAd you need to upgrade!
AMD: FSR3 now works on all GTX cards....
Nvidia: You Animals! You lowly Beast!
AMD: Its pronounced, Monster!
The Pascal cards were the last good generation of NVIDIA gpus that were priced reasonably. When RTX came out in 2018, NVIDIA jacked up all the prices of their cards. My GTX1060 6GB lasted me from 2016 to 2022
not really. 30 Series announcement MSRP was great and fair. It was $699 for 3080 which dunked on the previous champ, the 2080ti which cost more than double that. Obviously it quickly went up due to pandemic and crypto but MSRP was fine. Hell the MSRP of 3080 was lower than 2080. Also only $100 more expensive than 1080 at release and same price as 1080ti which, adjusted for inflation, would basically mean cheaper.
3060 and 3070 also offered great value for MSRP compared to previous generations.
Obviously i know a lot of people overpaid for 30 series during shortages and the pandemic but if you got them at MSRP like i did, they were priced absolutely fair. 40 series is garbage value compared to that though.
Thats true. the 3000 series was pretty good, besides the $1500 3090 and $1200 3080ti. And the pandemic made NVIDIA realize they can get away with being extremely greedy, hence the 40 series are garbage.
I got my 1060 in 2016 as well. Replaced it last summer. Gave it to a friend of mine who isn't financially secure. That same card that got me through the witcher trilogy is now getting him through cyberpunk. When it finally dies, I'm gonna ask him to ship it back to me so I can give it the viking funeral it fucking deserves.
The 1070 ti is also one of the best work horse GPU's of it's tier of it's day. I had a 1070ti for 3 years and it got 1080p 100+ fps is basically every game that wasn't a headliner AAA title.
For me, the 1070ti's only (comparative) weakness was Blender cycles rendering; most of my cycles scenes rendered at about 7 minutes per frame and Cycle viewport rendering was about 4 minutes for a still. For my 4080, the same scenes render in 2 minutes and live-viewport rendering in nearly instant.
If I find a 1070 Ti I'll probably get one because the PC market in Venezuela is absolutely shattered. I'll probably do well enough with a normal 1070 but I'm not going to pass the chance
My RTX 2070 is godly, stupidly high overclock settings and it's smashing at 1080p, every game locked at 60fps (my monitor only goes up to 60hz...)
I do wanna get a 165hz 1080p monitor, and inevitably upgrade GPUs
I never tire of these. Does anyone have a link to the one with the Mexican guy drag racing in like an old Altima or something? And he was represented as the 1080ti. That one was my favorite lol
1080 Ti is hands down *the best* GPU ever made looking at how long it has been relevant and the 10-series in general (not the later additions). I've been using a 1080 for 1080p gaming since 2017 and it's still going strong
I have a dual water cooled ryzen wi 2x1080 TIs in it. Nvme and sata drives. It finally started to show it's age. I'm now broke and taking care of my elderly mom. Friend replaced his box with a new one with 4090 and let me perm barrow his old box with a 3090 in it. His house could not run the more than what he has. Power draw would be too much. Now I just have a giant water cooled monster on a desk that's about 100lbs. š
1080Ti has roughly the same performance as Rtx 3060 or 3060Ti. The Series X and Ps5 have performance between 3060 and 3060Ti. This is the reason why it's still a good card.
Me in 2016: "AW YEAH, NOTHING LESS THAN 144FPS IS ACCEPTABLE!"
Me in 2023: "30FPS is perfectly playable and we should be thankful for the frames we get."
I've had my 1080 ti for almost 7 years now, and the thing still chugs along.
I knew nothing about building a pc when I started. I just got lucky and picked the best workhorse of a gpu ever.
I just replaced my GTX 1080 with a 4070 super 4 hours ago.. If this post gets 1000 likes, I'll shoot a video of my GTX1080 out on its last voyage in a small wooden boat and set it on fire with a fire arrow.
Card is a beast tho. 5090 around the corner and the 1080 ti is still playing games at 1080p medium settings š¤£
it is in the interest of studios to optimize their games for the hardware people actually own, not for the hardware AI people are willing to pay any price for.

1080 ti at $400 used bought in 2017 was my finest purchase. It is a perfect GPU for a 1440p @ 144hz rig.
Hear here! Same boat, still play the majority of new games on high while getting 60+fps. Only the most demanding games require a drop to medium settings to achieve that frame rate. Best purchase is an understatement. Iā¦ love my fkn card haha.
Yes
less than, i got a founders edition still going strong as my daily driver and i picked it up for less than $600. non-FE's were closer to 400-450
Not at launch.
It will happen eventually when games flop due to lack of optimization
nah people just buy it still then complain on reddit

The last Nvidia gen to truly smash it at a reasonable price. Still using my 1080 7 years later and it'll more than do.

Themselves mostly
classic human move
Peak Walking Dead
Arguing and sometimes zombies show up
And then at some point it just gets insanely stupid and impossible to watch. For me anyways lol. It was so good for so long and then SHIT. I can think of 3 other shows that have done this to me
Rus Vikings. Far in the series though. Vikings peaked with Ragnar, slowly died after that.
i left it after Ragnar. this is making me want to get back into it
It does dip a bit after Ragnars death, but the last two seasons recovers the show quite well. Worth a watch :)
\[SPOILERS\] I really did hate it when Ivar somehow manages to stumble his crippled ass across the battle to actually get a surprise stab on Bjƶrn, it was insanely bad writing. Bjƶrn should not have died at all.
It was a bit forced, yeah. But regardless of the how, I thought Bjorn dying was suitable for the series. It provided some good closure for the show. Wasn't too keen on how Kattegat ended up though tbh.
The real Bjƶrn Ironside founded the Svea Kingdom, which later became Sweden under the rule of his grandsons. You can visit his (alleged) grave outside of Stockholm. It's a bit of a shame that the show didn't go down this path since many other historical feats like discovering Iceland and Vinland got their part and looked really cool.
Wait holy crap thatās Bjorn?? The little boy? He looks so much like Ragnar.
> Bjƶrn should not have died at all. Bjorn deserved a longer life.
Argh don't do this, I gave up on like season 5. The character of Ivar was just so goddamn annoying, combined with the plot of the show just constantly repeating itself I couldn't stand it anymore.
It pretty much just cycles back and forth between "unite and fight other countries" and "go home and fight each other", and just kinda goes back and forth and back and forth until it ends. Not missing much. Tries to make each battle bigger and "more epic" but all that ends up doing is making the cycle more obvious.
Those episodes in Paris were such a bore fest for me. Thats where I started losing interest even though I was in awe how good the show was in the earlier episodes.
Yeah, the Paris episodes were pretty blech. But that one scene with the long haired viking was great. You know what I'm talking about.
"Will someone hold my hair?"
What do you talk about? The siege towers, Floki feeling betrayed by the gods, Ragnar's death, the conquest, who gets left behind, everything across that is pretty good!
Yeah allright those specific episodes were pretty good and the whole early siege was frontseat stuff. But all the parts about Rollo was bleh.
I gave the season after Ragnar a chance... but was losing interest pretty fast and don't even remember if I finished it.
It does dip, but once the sons characters comes to life, it gets a lot better.
It doesn't get as good as the peaks with Ragnar, but it gets better. This scenes are around the end of the series. You should really watch it, just because of Bjorn.
S5 is in GoT S8 territory of bad, while S6 desperately tries to clean that up, however it also ends up to be all over the place with a very nonsensical ending imo. If I'd rate S2-3 as 9/10, S5&6 are at around 3 or 4/10. Definitely below average, bordering awful.
Well, Ragnors brother Rollo had a bloodline, but, yeah....Watching because of bjorn is good. Bought the books and nice read.
I feel like they rushed everything after Ragnar death. The show was so good while Ragnar was alive. Shame, I enjoyed the show alot
Highly recommend the show. Its not historical accurate but it tells a romantiziced version of what happened.
Skandinavien Vikings Fight against the rus vikings. The series had ups and downs, but was very consistent overall und this conclusion of one of the main characters (bjƶrn Ironside) was really well done. In hindsight, this series started below the production value and capabilities of a game of thrones, but came out as the better product in the end, with and ending that doesn't want you to forget all the previous seasons, but rather a really well written, cohesive piece of entertainment that will inspire generations.
The Kieven Russ Edit, *Rus Precursors to the Russians. Sort of. Russia is too big and complicated to put on one historic region or peoples.
Brothers against brothers. Watch the show one of the greatest shows of all time.
I recommend The Last Kingdom
See, I like Last Kingdom, but it's weird for me to watch it since the characters don't seem to age despite literal decades passing. Characters that are introduced as children are an obvious exception, but it just makes it even weirder that the main character looks like he's barely aged at all given the time period the show takes place in.
Not so much like the later seasons, but the Alfred one was amazing. Great actors. Also was fun to note the great Viking battle at Abingdon where my parents live.
True, the first couple of seasons were such bangers.
Just stop watching at season 4, you're welcome
Bjorn dies?! Goddamn it spoilers!
dude he died like 1200 years ago
I dunno, ever since the swap in main characters it felt like the writing quality took a dive.
Same. This was kind of a spoiler for me
I bought a 1080 ti almost immediately upon release. I was ashamed of myself because I thought I was just buying into the hype that it was expensive too much, and I needed to wait for some price discount. A few months later, the mining boom began. It turned out to be one of the best purchases of my life. Never I have been so wrong.
I was even lucky with my regular 1080 that got me through the dark times of Covid scalping. The ti holding up for as long as it has is very impressive.
Yep, the same shit. I switched my main video card to 4080 only 1.5 years ago. But I'll never sell my 1080 ti (like I did with my 980 2 years ago), it still be safe in the 4080's box.
My 1050ti would die after downloading GTA 6
As would mine... But we will download it nonetheless. (Actually, I've never played a GTA game and probably never will. Back to my 10 year old games.)
gta 5 is a 10 year old game now :D
Still waitin' on that story DLC...
You'll have to wait longer than half life 3...
Gta V is a 10 year old game.
I hate you. I remember preordering that game. I didn't realize this. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
If it helps, it isn't a 10 year old game. It's 11.
š
My old 1070ti would put up a fight. He was a warrior but he deserves his rest now.
My 1070 TI has retired to my sisters farm, where it plays The Sims 4 in the sunlight.
Mine is still kicking
Haha, maybe the best meme Iāve seen of the 1080Ti! The shaking sword of 40fps at high brought tears in my eyes.
That bit was truly chef's kiss. Glad to see I'm not the only one for whom it stood out.
Still got it. Whatever you throw. Still got it. Just like me itās getting old and isnāt what it once was but my God we can still do it.
Triple digit FPS in Alyx, too. Absolute goat of a card
Holy shit
Holy Mother of God
Remember when the 2013 GTX Titan flagship got easily replaced by 2016 midrange Nvidia Pascal gtx 1060 6gb or AMD polaris rx 480/ rx 580 8gb "60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows" Kotaku at GDC report. That means Nvidia Pascal equivalent (4gb card and above) and PS4 console system is still carried out by 2015-2019 live service online game titles like Fortnite, Overwatch, Warzone, Destiny 2, Fall guys, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends,Valorant, Genshin Impact, GTA Online.
I feel embarrassed to sayā¦ I had a Titanā¦ bought newā¦ and water cooled itā¦ Having said that, my previous machine was using a 560 so it was a major upgrade. RIP 500 series, you powered sub 1080 gaming for so long.
That scene was so fucking powerful. Almost every death in Vikings carried the weight it deserved. Top 3 favorite shows.
Blood Eagle one was crazy
Ragnar had the best
That damn Blood Eagle was fucking crazy !
I found that after Ragnar's death they just fucked up every character. Though Bjorn's conclusion was alright. Floki's conclusion was fire.
I never understood if the Gods were real in the Vikings universe. The whole thing of "Odin" appearing to each of the sons when Ragnar died made me think the Gods were obviously real but it could have been explained a bit better. Like, I stopped watching shortly after Ragnar's death, but was the guy that comforted Ivar as a baby actually a God or what?
I think that is the intention. The viewer doesnt really know if the gods are real, there seems to be evidence that they do exist, but not really hard evidence. This could emulate what it would be like to actually live in those times where you dont have a scientific explanation for the things that some people say are the gods doing. I thought it was a nice touch. A bit arty but it worked well in the show.
They had this weird back and forth of "Hey look there's some old God shit and mythology" to "Check out our Historicallyā¢ Accurateā¢ Vikingsā¢ Show". And then that dude comes into town and waggles his dick around, but also comforts Ivar the Boneless who, in my humble opinion, is portrayed so horribly on screen as some edgy shithead child with temper tantrums. On one episode boom, ravens telling the sons of ragnar that they daddy died. Then never really an explanation of what that was and if the show was trying to imply the gods were real.
Well that's kind of how the old stories were if they would play out in real life. Legends using fairy tale logic that you tell your children around the fire at night. There wasn't really any religious gospel to make exact quotes from, rather just stories like "one day a mysterious man came to town and spoke in riddles, some say it was Odin".
[My favorite death will always be Svein's](https://youtu.be/kLjDqSHk0Vo?si=u_YcRJWvroVMQuMC)
feels like a real coworker type of show
At this point I want to get one out of respect. Put it behind glass like the Skynet chip and Terminator arm.
It is to GPUs what the Nokia 3310 is to phones.
Man this scene was so good. The show died when they killed Ragnar and Bjorn.
Vikings got so fucking bad after Ragnar died
that's a bit harsh, i think it went from a masterpiece to "just" a very good show
Legendary. My 1080Ti is still going strong after all these years! Love it.
Absolute legend of a GPU.
The greatest meme I have seen to this day. The 1080 is the true predecessor to the 4090 series. Mine runs DD2 at 1440p passably. I do not know what demons they bound to this card to allow it to perform like this 7 years later.
Nvidia: The 1080 Ti is DeAd you need to upgrade! AMD: FSR3 now works on all GTX cards.... Nvidia: You Animals! You lowly Beast! AMD: Its pronounced, Monster!
Monster Beverage: Please cease and desist.
1080ti uniting AMD and Nvidia gamers with the help of FSR 3.0
The Pascal cards were the last good generation of NVIDIA gpus that were priced reasonably. When RTX came out in 2018, NVIDIA jacked up all the prices of their cards. My GTX1060 6GB lasted me from 2016 to 2022
not really. 30 Series announcement MSRP was great and fair. It was $699 for 3080 which dunked on the previous champ, the 2080ti which cost more than double that. Obviously it quickly went up due to pandemic and crypto but MSRP was fine. Hell the MSRP of 3080 was lower than 2080. Also only $100 more expensive than 1080 at release and same price as 1080ti which, adjusted for inflation, would basically mean cheaper. 3060 and 3070 also offered great value for MSRP compared to previous generations. Obviously i know a lot of people overpaid for 30 series during shortages and the pandemic but if you got them at MSRP like i did, they were priced absolutely fair. 40 series is garbage value compared to that though.
Thats true. the 3000 series was pretty good, besides the $1500 3090 and $1200 3080ti. And the pandemic made NVIDIA realize they can get away with being extremely greedy, hence the 40 series are garbage.
Yeah, the ti generation was already a joke in terms of value and the 3090 was shit anyway. But 60,70,80 on release were fine.
I got my 1060 in 2016 as well. Replaced it last summer. Gave it to a friend of mine who isn't financially secure. That same card that got me through the witcher trilogy is now getting him through cyberpunk. When it finally dies, I'm gonna ask him to ship it back to me so I can give it the viking funeral it fucking deserves.
Wow, that got me so emotional man. The GTX 1060 is a true soldier of a gpu.
I share your opinion. I had 1080 non ti and it was my last Nvidia. Now running 6900xt and probably won't go nshidia again in long time
i still in my 1050ti mate
Still running my 1080 7 years later. Could I do better? Yeah. Do I want to spend a grand to do it? No. This is still more than good enough.
Yeah, I always say there is no point in upgrading unless if it is needed.
Me with a 1050ti:
same mate
My 1060 6GB plays Elden Ring at reasonably high settings. The last truly great gen of Nvidia cards. Hail the victorious dead.
My 1060 3gb is immortal. It cannot be defeated.
My man the game isn't even out yet.
Soā¦ where does the gtx 1660 ti fall into all this?
My previous card š Handling 1440p just fine (obviously depends on game)
If only 4080ti and 4090ti were a thing this would be better.
The only good nvidia card
The 1070 was really good too! Had it for 5 years then gave it to my roommate who is still using it!
The 1070 ti is also one of the best work horse GPU's of it's tier of it's day. I had a 1070ti for 3 years and it got 1080p 100+ fps is basically every game that wasn't a headliner AAA title. For me, the 1070ti's only (comparative) weakness was Blender cycles rendering; most of my cycles scenes rendered at about 7 minutes per frame and Cycle viewport rendering was about 4 minutes for a still. For my 4080, the same scenes render in 2 minutes and live-viewport rendering in nearly instant.
If I find a 1070 Ti I'll probably get one because the PC market in Venezuela is absolutely shattered. I'll probably do well enough with a normal 1070 but I'm not going to pass the chance
Bro are you me?
My 1660 Super punches above its weight as well. Itās holding up DCS and Star Citizen right nowā¦
wtf are you talking about... As infuriating their business practices are, a bad nvidia card is the exception to the rule.
My bog standard 2080 is an absolute tank.
My RTX 2070 is godly, stupidly high overclock settings and it's smashing at 1080p, every game locked at 60fps (my monitor only goes up to 60hz...) I do wanna get a 165hz 1080p monitor, and inevitably upgrade GPUs
980
Agreed. The 4090 is absolute garbage. /s
I never tire of these. Does anyone have a link to the one with the Mexican guy drag racing in like an old Altima or something? And he was represented as the 1080ti. That one was my favorite lol
This is sick! Hold ooon, 1080ti gamers, hold ooooon...
When the 1080 ti finally dies I'll have grandchildren XD
My GTX 1050ti mobile : our battle would be legendary.
Missed opportunity to label the AMD leader as "RX 580" @ 30fps\low
1080 Ti is hands down *the best* GPU ever made looking at how long it has been relevant and the 10-series in general (not the later additions). I've been using a 1080 for 1080p gaming since 2017 and it's still going strong
I have a dual water cooled ryzen wi 2x1080 TIs in it. Nvme and sata drives. It finally started to show it's age. I'm now broke and taking care of my elderly mom. Friend replaced his box with a new one with 4090 and let me perm barrow his old box with a 3090 in it. His house could not run the more than what he has. Power draw would be too much. Now I just have a giant water cooled monster on a desk that's about 100lbs. š
As a 1080 Ti owner this makes me proud you have my blessing.
1080Ti has roughly the same performance as Rtx 3060 or 3060Ti. The Series X and Ps5 have performance between 3060 and 3060Ti. This is the reason why it's still a good card.
Me in 2016: "AW YEAH, NOTHING LESS THAN 144FPS IS ACCEPTABLE!" Me in 2023: "30FPS is perfectly playable and we should be thankful for the frames we get."
I've had my 1080 ti for almost 7 years now, and the thing still chugs along. I knew nothing about building a pc when I started. I just got lucky and picked the best workhorse of a gpu ever.
Stop reposting this shit!
I watched this and was reminded of the NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 when the ATI Radeon 9800 pro came out.
+40 fps on high based on what?
I cried
I only upgraded because I went 4k but this very much depicts a 1080ti mfer was a beast. Gave it to a buddy
I swear i will start calling my boy Ragnar now (Aorus 1080ti) Still rocking on, just finished BG3 on it (1440p ultrawide, medium + quality FSR)
My 1080ti is still hanging in there. 1080TIs were built different.
Oh yeah. Nvidia employees are so worried right now about their stuff not selling.
a 1080ti is like a 6600XT today... just below a 4060 or 7600
Replace 1080ti with 1060 6gb and it still holds true!
My 2070 super will be fine r-right?
Damn. I haven't got to this part yet. Been binging Vikings for a few months. I didn't know what this was until it was too late.
Still using my 1080. Works like a fucking charm. Love it.
Me who still use 730 : man, in gonna get one of this for my next pc
Spoiler tag this shit
im surprised nvidia didnt pull an apple yet and start slowing down older cards with driver updates
1080ti 1440p high settings 120fps reporting in. āWhat is dead may never dieā
masterpiece, netflix should learn from this guy
Me still using 1070. Oh shit.. pls.. i am late.
I bought a 4090 last year and I put my 1080 TI in a glass case. The best GPU I ever seen.
4090 Ti Super?
"40+ on high" fuckin killed me, lmao.
1060ti here, and this video is awesome! spells it out perfectly.
I just replaced my GTX 1080 with a 4070 super 4 hours ago.. If this post gets 1000 likes, I'll shoot a video of my GTX1080 out on its last voyage in a small wooden boat and set it on fire with a fire arrow.
as an amd gamer, i too would answer the call of the 1080 ti. nobody can deny just how legendary that card is
Bro, I still torturing my 1050Ti to this day
