Asus Rog Strix GTX 1080 Ti 11Gb : The in Depth Version

[@imellen2203]

Short version released - for those of you with less time - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXmneYOqmch4qa8

[@WnDTech]

thanks for letting people know :)

[@swapsplat]

I just retired my 1080 after years of service. It'll be displayed in my nerdery as a tribute in its retirement.

[@WnDTech]

Theres no better way!

[@remigusker6024]

Mine got replaced with a 4080 a few months ago. The 1080 still in service though as the TVPC gpu!

[@aaldrich1982]

SLI and crossfire were great in concept. I honestly would love GPU manufacturers to bring them back so we can get a card and, instead of having to upgrade to the latest generation of card, get a used older card and have 4090 SLI (power figures forgotten temporarily). I'd love cards to do what they used to - come with dongles for other connectivity. Remember when we got free DVI to D-SUB (VGA) dongles? I'd love them to release some kind of dongle so I could natively connect up a massive old CRT to my 4090 and for it to come with the card.

[@WnDTech]

I agree, just imagine how awesome that would be today!

[@venividivici1990]

That is not even how sli works…

[@aaldrich1982]

@@venividivici1990 sli allows 2 graphics cards to work in tandem. Therefore yes, 2 older cards working together as a cheaper alternative to a brand new card is how SLI could work. For example, 2 3dfx voodoo 2 cards are approximately on par with a single voodoo 3 2000. Or 2 used 980s were on par with a 1080. The display adaptor is a separate topic.

[@BootedTech]

No, it is not dead! I have one of these, still rocking games at 1440p@120Hz highest settings, have never changed thermals and never gets above 74-76c. I see no need to upgrade until I the fps drops to unplayable or I can't enable highest settings. Ray Tracing is of no use to me as most games do not have it. This is a 1440p card, not 4K, as it was the best card when 1440p was in its prime.

[@BootedTech]

As for tomb raider, don't know what you did, I get in the 50fps @ 2160p and mid 100's @ 1440p??? highest!

[@WnDTech]

Pretty sure I showed mid 50s at 2160p on the video.. oh yes, I did. 13:50. 😉

[@gametime2473]

1080ti is the greatest GPU ever made. It is amazing how well it has held up. So far ahead of its time, it's insane.

[@WnDTech]

If your lucky enough to own one, it's a great 2nd PC, or 3rd, or 4th..

[@nhatdo5818]

​@@WnDTechI just made a pink build for my step daughter with a 1080ti. Still such a beast.

[@WnDTech]

Shorter version of this video coming out tomorrow - for those with less time but still want to see what's going on.

[@ArtemisMaxs]

Glad I lent you my card for this, as far as I know its never had its thermal paste replaced` so I'm surprised it only gets to 70 degrees at 4k. I definitely end up CPU limited on KSP and BeamNG when I play them haha.

[@WnDTech]

At least you can see they can play it for days! An amazing GPU. Cheers for the borrow. Wonder what the vega 64 will be like?

[@ArtemisMaxs]

@@WnDTech I'll let you know when I've rigged something up to cool it :)

[@JezyYT]

I had the Aorus 1080 and was absolutely amazing!

[@WnDTech]

We were lucky enough to borrow this one for this video, I wish I tested more games on it to be honest. Closest I have is a 1070 Ti on hand.

[@TheZxShade]

actually impressed that it's performing so well still

[@WnDTech]

I know. I wish I had tried more games to be honest.

[@DJSekuHusky]

If your 1080/1080Ti is still alive and kicking, comment the make and model of your card: (i.e. Asus ROG Poseidon Platinum GTX 1080Ti) I am curious to see what vendors/models show up the most.

[@choizzzzz]

Strix 1080ti

[@chibonchibon3967]

I was dreaming to own 1080 ti back when it was launched, only able to buy 3070 (mrsp) and glad it was not worse

[@WnDTech]

3070 is pretty awesome bud.

[@NotAnotherSatchFan]

Even my old gtx1080 can run Helldivers2 just fine at 1440p lower quality. Got my 4070ti now but I can say I would still be happy if I still use my old gpu.

[@WnDTech]

Yeah, and that's my point, if you never compared the fps, to anything, most of us would actually be just fine with a older 1080 ti . Crazy when I say It in my head but true.

[@Blackrazor911]

i use a GTX 1080 Ti with a R7 5800X3D and is play all games with UHD and i get more 72++ FPS ^^

[@WnDTech]

It's crazy good

[@Vordhosbn]

That 5800X is a bit toasty, is it running on a 240 AIO?

[@WnDTech]

Na a 360

[@Vordhosbn]

@@WnDTechDamn, toasty boy

[@WnDTech]

@Vordhosbn yeah I actually have no idea why? Cooler was all fine. In was screen capturing using software, so I expect that might be why.

[@Xellot]

Man, you need to clean that monitor *real bad* lol. Also, I've never seen a picnic blanket used as blinds, but I kind of like it.

[@WnDTech]

That's very observant..

[@WnDTech]

Having picnics is some what difficult at that angle but, anything is possible right..

[@PatricksDIY]

I wouldn't really compare a 1080ti to a 3070. that's like comparing a 3080 to a 4090. but i digress.

[@WnDTech]

It was only a size comparison, anyways it's all I had on hand, subscribe, then maybe I can get more gpus in to compare ;)

[@willplayz5544]

KERBAL!

[@WnDTech]

Kerbin... Kerbal... i know, i know

[@yottakat1069]

You cpu is adding 100 dollars to the power bill lol

[@WnDTech]

100 dollars in your country, maybe. Not for us.

[@theonerm2]

Yeah, of course it's going to play pretty well on old games that were released all before 2020. You talk about the GTX 1080 ti being old but you fail to mention that all of these games you tested also are old. Try newer, more demanding titles, and then tell me how well it does at 4K then. I had a GTX 1080 ti and I know exactly how well it performs. It was great for around 4 years or so. Now it's more an entry level 1080p experience in the latest titles. Don't get me wrong, it's still good for 1080p but for 4K it's just not really good enough. You kind of try to make it out to be like it's still good at 1080p. On older titles we all already know it was a 4K beast but today it's not a 4K card anymore.

[@WnDTech]

Did you watch the entire video ?

[@theonerm2]

No. I skimmed through it. But I looked at all the tested games. I didn't hear everything you said. I don't have time to watch it all. @@WnDTech

[@WnDTech]

There is a short version for that very reason ;)

[@origionalwinja]

how does it stack up today? well im watching this video on one. it plays ever triple A game i own with great frame rates and excellent smoothness. i play all my games on ultra, including cyperpunk. i do have a 3080TI thats collecting dust waiting on my next build but ive had no reason to RUSH to get that computer completed

[@WnDTech]

Amazing!
