1080’a going to be used until it dies. Don’t have a grand to spend on a card

[-] dan@upvote.au 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

A year or two ago, I needed a newer graphics card because my R9 390 couldn't handle the resolution of my new ultrawide monitor. This was when prices were crazy, everything was out of stock, and second-hand cards were selling for higher than the retail prices of brand new cards.

I got a 1080Ti for free from someone at my workplace because they hadn't used it for a while and would have felt bad selling it while prices were ridiculously high. He didn't want to take advantage of anyone. Good guy.

To pay it forward, when I upgraded my PC I gave away all the old parts (PSU, motherboard, RAM, CPU) for free. I posted about it, waited a day or two, and picked someone randomly for each item.

Please pay off your credit card debt.

Oh don't worry, I have. In fact my credit rating rocks because of my irresponsible-ness - just the way capitalism intended

You don't need to. If you look at the relative performance table, you can get a feeling for a cheaper upgrade path (if you need it): https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080-ti.c2877

This took me down a rabbit hole, thanks for the link. Time to start saving my dollars. I didn't realise just how much of an upgrade a new GPU would be for me.

That’s handy. Thanks

Bought a laptop with a 1050ti back in 2018, still use it to this day. Though I don't game on it as much as I used to. I've upgraded everything else in it that I could
