I will never give up my rx480
I was running a 750ti until a few months ago.
Finally had to bid it adieu this year. Probably should have years ago, to be honest.
What did you upgrade to? How are you liking it?
I’m running a Radeon 6600 now. It does well enough, but my needs are modest.
i have some 2009 ordi prebuilt, but i very recently got an ThinkPad T495 (2026 Linux will be installed on my laptop)

1070 gang
I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to a 3060ti. I’ll move the 1070 into a different PC.
1070 is comfy AF, been on one for so long now and I haven’t seen any reasons to switch yet
I’m actually considering upgrading to a 1070 (i have a 1050ti)
Check your regions rx6600(xt) pricing, both cards are much faster than a 1070.

oh actually, I’m so used to amd cards being ridiculously expensive (both used and new) in ukraine that i didn’t even consider them. Prices are way more fair here in poland
Just get 1080, trust me
used 1070 are half the price of used 1080/ti and more than good enough for me
I was considering upgrading to 1070ti but would probably go with the 2070super so I can use dlss (I also have a 1050ti)
I have a friend that’s always “waiting for the next one” who finally got a 3080 and meanwhile I play games with him on my trusty 1050
I just ordered parts for my first build since 2011. I’ve had my Sandybridge i5 at 4.5ghz most of this time… until the fans died and it overheated, replaced the fans and it was fine, brought it to 5ghz somehow so it could live out its last days in glory, it’s been two years. That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
Me and my 1060 ain’t going anywhere
Same here. Works great and does all I need it to. It would be nice to have a new GPU but I’m driving this one until the wheels fall off.
I just upgraded from my 1060 6g. Got a 7800xt.
I had a 1060 3G version and it just couldn’t hack it anymore. Picked up a 20 series this year and it was such an improvement.
1060 6g still flying
Yeah. I’m about 90% sure that if I had gotten the 1060 6G and I hadn’t gotten a really good deal on a 2080, I’d probably still be using the 1060.
For now though, I don’t suspect I’ll be replacing the 2080 anytime soon… So when the 50 series comes out, this meme will be me with my 2080.
Anyway, this moved you for the better card! Congrats :)
Ha! Just ordered a few new components yesterday! So long, beloved 1080, you were da real MVP o/
Which one did you have?
I have one of these I ended up never using because I didn’t realize my power supply wouldn’t handle it. By the time I decided to build a whole new PC, I ended up having enough saved up to get an RTX 3080. Video cards were super hard to find at the time so I decided to hold on to the 1080 in case of emergency. Do graphics cards matter much in something like a dedicated Minecraft or 7 Days to Die server? If so, I might build one with it.
The 1080 is a spectacular card, one of the best valued cards Nvidia ever released. I have been using mine basically non stop since launch and it’s still going strong.
Sorry to say, it will do nothing at all for you in a server setup. You could run any game server without a graphics card at all and it would make no difference. Game servers would be better served by a good processor and lots of RAM.
The only thing a graphics card could do for you in a server is if you host a media library (e.g. Plex or Jellyfin) and then need to transcode video for a device that can’t natively play it (e.g. TV can’t natively overlay subtitles, so the server has to burn them into the video that streams to the TV). Another instance could be running image processing on a security camera feed for example.
Won’t do you any good for regular hosting. But you can do AI stuff with it, stable diffusion and silly tavern work wonderfully on the 1080ti
This is how I’ve always felt, running on old second hand unstable rigs. But it’s better than nothing.
Haha, bold to assume new rigs are stable, speaking from a ryzen 7 7800x3d and 7900xtx. Thing can barely fucking boot everytime I power it on.
Really? Wow. I’ve assumed new rigs to be more stable. Guess I was wrong then.
It’s still a decent card, probably can still do well at 1080p max settings in most games. Very similar to a 3060 in terms of performance, which is the card I have.
I’m playing D4 at 4K on medium settings. No complaints. This is on a 3yo laptop with 1080ti in an external enclosure hooked up via Thunderbolt.
My 660ti is finally showing its age…
Still got life in her yet
I have a 670. Beat you by three months!
In all seriousness, they perform about the same. But I can’t really play any recent titles bar Indie games.
Even the base 1080 is still a very capable card. I recently gave mine to a friend when I upgraded to a 3060. And looking at the market, the Pascal generation will remain the goat for the foreseeable future.
Same but RX580 so a bit less behind.
I recently upgraded from a 1080ti to a 7800XT. Sold the 1080ti on ebay, so hopefully it will continue on with a new life.
