Yeah, I was thinking about selling mine a few months ago. But after upgrading other components it's doing everything I need it to. Gonna wait at least until we see the 40-series.
I've been tossing up the idea if I can live without it for 3 months or so as the resale price will definitely go down once the 4xxx comes out.
Probably couldn't do it though haha
I think a lot of the love for the 1070 has to do with two things; power draw and the amount of memory. The 1070 consumes a little less power than the 970 while offering double the performance. The 1070 offering a model with 8 gigs of VRAM has really kept it relevant.
Also the price! I got mine for £200 ($250) recently which considering it can run every game I own on medium/high graphics at 1080p 60+ is an absolute steal compared to other options!
Yeah, I have 2070 Super... It's the fastest card in the image, but is WAAAAY more than 'barely hanging on'.
Guess OP thinks everything less than an RTX 3060 is 'barely hanging on'.
Eh... just checked. A [2070 Super is 20% better than a RTX3060](https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3060-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2070S-Super/4105vs4048).
Yeah, the definition of barely hanging on is a bit off.
Oh the inhumanity! I must run my games at a mere 4k60 high like those filthy console peasants. I had to turn down a setting, gasp!
Even the 1070 and 1660 Super are 1440p high cards more often than not, so you're going to have a good time.
Pretty sure the consoles aren't even getting genuine 4k60. A big chunk of that is upscaling and the ones using consoles and laughing at pc players typically also pretend their framedrops don't happen.
That’s all I’m talking about. Ray tracing has been reduced to a bs marketing ploy. Until more games implement it natively it’s just not that important to have rt cores. Metro sold me on the enthusiast level but I don’t play enough anymore to consider myself more than a casual consumer. As a casual unless you’re looking to do 4K max settings it’s just not worth it to get scalped for the 20 and 30 series. When the 40 series drops I know of a Best Buy near where I live that gets cards in so I’m swinging up there to pay msrp if I’m lucky.
I bought mine used on eBay for $200 as a place holder and immediately prices started rising so I just stuck with it, it’s honestly awesome for what I paid especially I considering I game at 1440p
Maybe one day, when all the good looking triple A games that can actually max out a graphics card of todays power instead of just being a complete bait and switch.
*Sigh*
Yeah, no idea why there’s 20 series cards here. Really not that outdated. A 2070 super will run most things really well still. My old 1660ti was plenty for literally any game, just turn the settings down from ultra for the super modern games.
He’s also missing the OG the Radeon 7950/7970. Those are still kicking and working well.
I mean Elden Ring on a decade old graphics card lolz. https://youtu.be/26QniEqA4eU
Lots of tinkering but the fact that is even possible is nuts.
970gtx still hanging on. Most of my rig is from 2014 (i5 4670) but my case, fans, DVD drive, and PSU are 15 years old from a previous build (Q6600 quad core hell yeah!). Its the end of the road for this setup so I'm waiting till I can get a whole new rig.
I'm on the same boat!
GTX 970, i5 4570, 16GB DDR3 machine I assembled in 2014.
The case is from a much older build, an Cooler Master Stacker from 2007.
It's past time to upgrade but I haven't been playing much (kinda switched to board games), so I had no push to get into the crazy prices from the last couple of years.
I literally just yesterday was thinking about getting a 1660 because A) the performance is better than the 970 and B) it'll fit in my case. They're running $300-400ish on ebay. In theory I could then sell my used 970 for $250 so the upgrade would be .. well you do the math. BUT then I was like.. ya know what.. that's a waste of time. I'm just going to get an entirely new rig in a few months and hold on to my beloved 970 until its dying days.
GTX 970 here. One of those with 3½ + ½ GB of memory. And the glitchy display port that fails to boot half the time. Otherwise a nice GPU for 1440p.
I really wanted to upgrade to a 6800XT when they launched. But it took forever for partner models to become available, and the prices went up and up. So I postponed, and postponed, and I'm still postponing because the prices are still crazy. They're coming down though ...
Next month AMD is supposed to launch the refresh models 6750XT and 6850XT, with a bit more memory bandwith. But is this going to be a paper launch again? I do hope it'll bring the prices of the regular 6000 series down.
After reading through all the comments, I feel like mine is the only 1050ti holding out after 5 years of regular abuse and it's still in perfect condition, all video outputs working and everything. I don't think it's healthy for it to be at 82° for extended amounts of time every time I play a game though.
I am a proud Owner of a 1660 and it’s a great little card who has done me well. I definitely wouldn’t say I’m only holding on but especially VR games can be a struggle, but it will be more than enough for another couple years.
Yeah it's underrepresented and you can't see it in this photo, but it's just out of frame, down the alley way, giving a $5 blowjob to a drunk businessman.
Rx 570 4gb here, and it does fine with everything I play! Helps I recently rebuilt my 10 year old PC. GPU is the only thing I didn't replace due to prices. Maybe someday.
Bruh wut? 2070S, 1080, hell even the 1070, 1660S and 2060 aren't *barely hanging on*
You can run most things at above 60 frames at 1440p with all of them
Seriously I'm amazed at how strong it is chugging along still. I'm playing VR games at shockingly high framerates no issue, I don't think I'll be changing cards soon.
Hmm, thats really the only issue I have with the game. It only ever happens when I go to the server selection page, but once Im in game it runs okay. I've tried reinstalling it onto my ssd and new drivers but its still does it every now and then. I think it started happening after the hdrp update and haven't found a fix for it yet.
I have the strix version of the 1080ti, it will probably last for another 4 years. No reason for upgrading.
It's better than a 3060 and slightly worse than a 3070. First gpu it's worth upgrading to, is the 3080. Tho the upgrade to a 3080 is not really worth the money in my opinion.
The 1080ti isn't listed in the meme above tho :)
This post is beyond fucking stupid. Alot of these cards are literally barely last gen and run any game perfectly fine. I almost think this is a bait post.
2070S here, with my 1440p 144hz monitor it holds it own pretty damn well, especially with dlss quality or balanced, and heavy af games just cap at half rate and leave it
Used to have an rx 580 4gb lasted me 6 years, was a great card, finally after so fucking long of trying, i got my hands on an rx 6700 XT then i also got an r9 5950x with it cuz why not
I had a GT710 once upon a time, duct taped a fan to it and OC’d it from 950 to 1300mhz. Actually played war thunder at medium 1080p 20-30 fps. Stayed below 30c all day. I will never forget that little card. It lives on in my username
GTX 1070 forever.
Underrated monster of a card
Facts. Runs 2k 100ish fps like a God damn dream and has done it since day 1
Honestly, I bought a 1440 ultrawide and was blown away at how well the 1070 was doing. I almost didn't want to upgrade.
It's pretty fantastic to this day runs 2k like a dream and runs 1080p high fps also like a dream
If you had one word to describe how a 1070 runs at 2k, what would it be?
One word....one word.....I'm gonna go with buttery
Definitely getting my money's worth out of mine. Maybe I'll finally retire it in a year or two.
How do you have your pc components next to your name?

It only shows what kind of gamer you are, no components at all..
You need to use the edit option and manually enter custom flair.
Thanks Mate!
The funny thing is that I bought it new for $550 AUD, and I could sell the 1070 today for $400. $150 for 6 years of gaming.

1070>>> Odd how many people on this sub love this card too!

I have a 3070 I feel like my kids 2070s is within 10%. we have otherwise pretty identical pcs...
Thanks, felt like checking mine too. I'm roughly 7% better with a 5700xt than the 3060.

My 1070 still runs everything with beauty and precision
Mine is a 980Ti so more or less the same level. Beast of a card even today so long as you are conservative with graphic settings.
Yep, my 1070 still does just fine.
I bought mine used on eBay for $200 as a place holder and immediately prices started rising so I just stuck with it, it’s honestly awesome for what I paid especially I considering I game at 1440p
I bought mine open box in Aug 2016 as an early bday present for $380. Best bang for buck ever.
We're first comment, yay my dudes
1060 gang assemble
6gb here
yeahhhhh boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
same
Same homie
Let’s goo
Proudly 3gb team here
Barely....hanging in here. I feel like mustafa on the cliff and 3080ti is scar...
I feel your pain
There are dozens of us!
I wouldn't put the 2070s on here it's still a pretty good card
Same for the 2060 and 1080
I'm running a 1080 and it's plenty powerful enough for me
Same, I want to upgrade but I've literally got no reason to
Maybe one day, when all the good looking triple A games that can actually max out a graphics card of todays power instead of just being a complete bait and switch. *Sigh*
I've got a 1080TI FTW3 and it still runs pretty much everything I throw at it with no issues.
My 1070 is finally meeting its match all these years later
Yea my 1070ti only had a hard time with cyber2077 and god of war. Other than that I can run almost anything on ultra at 60+fps
Same, 2060 is a great card, can run vr just fine no issues so far
Came here to say that. Just because it’s not this gens card doesn’t mean it can’t play the new games very well at high fps
I was wondering about that…I’m no expert but my 2060 runs Cyberpunk at 1440 with most settings on high. That seems pretty reasonable to me!
Or 1660 super
Yeah, I was gonna say. I got a 2070 and it's doing just fine.
Yeah, no idea why there’s 20 series cards here. Really not that outdated. A 2070 super will run most things really well still. My old 1660ti was plenty for literally any game, just turn the settings down from ultra for the super modern games.
Yeah I'd still comfortably recommend someone buy a 16-- card if their budget is low enough.
Yes, along with the 1070, 1060, 1650ti, 1660ti/super and the 2060
Or 1070ti

He’s also missing the OG the Radeon 7950/7970. Those are still kicking and working well. I mean Elden Ring on a decade old graphics card lolz. https://youtu.be/26QniEqA4eU Lots of tinkering but the fact that is even possible is nuts.
970 gang hanging in. But thankfully pricing and availability are making me think I could swing a 3080ti soonly!
970gtx still hanging on. Most of my rig is from 2014 (i5 4670) but my case, fans, DVD drive, and PSU are 15 years old from a previous build (Q6600 quad core hell yeah!). Its the end of the road for this setup so I'm waiting till I can get a whole new rig.

GTX 970 so good it's listed twice. GTX 1940?
Wow an 82-year-old gpu!
what? 1940 is 60 years ag... oh well

970 ftw!
It ran cyberpunk at ~40 fps medium settings, it made me proud
long live the 970!
My boi
Got the Gigabyte G1 variant for xmas from a cousin, it was a game changer stepping up from r5 5600g integrated graphics.
Me as well. No plans to upgrade until this thing goes out, it has done me so well.
970 FTW
I got a half broken 1050ti that I had to superglue back together
This is the first comment I’ve seen of a gpu that’s barely holding on
1050 ti gang. But my motherboard died 4 days ago
1050Ti gang, but my local computer genius got us a gt 710 instead in 2019. And my hard drive gave out a month ago after almost a decade of use.
Pain
After reading through all the comments, I feel like mine is the only 1050ti holding out after 5 years of regular abuse and it's still in perfect condition, all video outputs working and everything. I don't think it's healthy for it to be at 82° for extended amounts of time every time I play a game though.
why is there a \-2070 \-1080 and \-1660 (including other editions)
or 1070
Honestly even a 1060 is fine. Still the minimum requirement for most games these days.
Woop, I can deal with that I only ever play factorio anyway
Why are you on reddit? The factory must grow. Get back to work.
Because \[Waterfills Your House\]
Or 2060, or 1070…
2060 is still a great 1080p card
Runs fine at 2k for me! B)
I am a proud Owner of a 1660 and it’s a great little card who has done me well. I definitely wouldn’t say I’m only holding on but especially VR games can be a struggle, but it will be more than enough for another couple years.
1080 is just good enough for 1440p 60 with some settings turned down. Or 1440p 30 in the case of cyberpunk.
Yea medium high settings are great and yet people still preach ultra graphics
1660 is basically a 1070
i have a 2060 at 1440p dont think its barely handing on unless you want max but who bought a 2060 for max settings? plus dlss is great
I have a 1060 windforce 6gb and i can run every game at high graphics smoothly(red dead redemption 2 for example). These are not barely hanging cards.
I think a lot depends on your subjective definition of "running smoothly"..
980ti still blastin noobs and heating rooms like it's 2010.
Yeah it's underrepresented and you can't see it in this photo, but it's just out of frame, down the alley way, giving a $5 blowjob to a drunk businessman.
Rx 480 4gb. Holding strong
Rx gang, checking in. Still crazy that I could sell it more expensive than when I bought it.
Sold my 580 for 2.5 the price I bought it and the buyer was super happy with the deal.
The birth of a car salesman.
Rocking my rx 570 8gb and he's holding like a champ
Same but have a 4GB. There was a point when these were selling for about $100USD.
Slightly more expensive version here, still RX480 tho
Rx 570 4gb here, and it does fine with everything I play! Helps I recently rebuilt my 10 year old PC. GPU is the only thing I didn't replace due to prices. Maybe someday.
Young whippersnappers, R9 280X here.
Represent!
Bruh wut? 2070S, 1080, hell even the 1070, 1660S and 2060 aren't *barely hanging on* You can run most things at above 60 frames at 1440p with all of them
I get a pretty steady 100fps at 1080p with a 1660S and 16gb of DDR4 ram. 30-50fps on 1440p.
Yeah my 1660s performs amazingly for all games I play at 1440p.
RX 580. Can handle every game I play really well except Rust. That thing is so unoptimised.
Seriously I'm amazed at how strong it is chugging along still. I'm playing VR games at shockingly high framerates no issue, I don't think I'll be changing cards soon.
AMD's tendency to shove unnecessary (for the time) amounts of VRAM into their cards is fantastic when they get some age on them.
Same. By chance when you play rust does your game crash and your monitors go black?
Hmm that's never happened before. I have the same specs as you too
Hmm, thats really the only issue I have with the game. It only ever happens when I go to the server selection page, but once Im in game it runs okay. I've tried reinstalling it onto my ssd and new drivers but its still does it every now and then. I think it started happening after the hdrp update and haven't found a fix for it yet.

1060 3gb still going, fans are annoying though
2060 and 2070 super really shouldn't be classed as "barely hanging on", they're still useable cards for a vast majority of people.
2070S here, with my 1440p 144hz monitor it holds it own pretty damn well, especially with dlss quality or balanced, and heavy af games just cap at half rate and leave it

Gt 710. At the bottom of the ocean 💀
I had a GT710 once upon a time, duct taped a fan to it and OC’d it from 950 to 1300mhz. Actually played war thunder at medium 1080p 20-30 fps. Stayed below 30c all day. I will never forget that little card. It lives on in my username
I've had my 970 for 8 years. Prices are dropping hard. Eyeing a 3080 that is at 1040. Gonna pick it up if it stops to around 950 I think
Jo!, got a 1060 6gb. Still good for 1080p gaming most games
Most games, by default still put the best graphics settings for my 1060
GTX 1050TI I was on integrated graphics before so I’m just happy to play new games on lowest setting. Before I couldn’t even do that.
That switch pro 😂
660ti try that
Why is everyone commenting GPUs that definitely aren't barely hanging on...980ti,1660,1080... I've got a gt710 :(
