Nvidia GTX 1080 vs RTX 3060 Ti | Upgrading the GPU in my Personal Rig | Benchy Tests

Sorry about the slightly garbled parts of the audio in this one.

[@GreigShelob]

Try to buy short extension cables for each graphics card that you regularly plug in/out and leave them connected to the graphics cards. This way you can remove the cards and leave the extensions plugged into them reducing the wear on the sockets. I started doing that in my Amiga days and it's stuck with me. Saved me a lot of USB and monitor sockets over the years!

[@BenchyTests]

That's a good idea, thanks!

[@TheDNW]

This was EXACTLY what I needed thank you very much!

[@Blenkinsop27]

Perfect review. Exactly the question I wanted answered that I'd typed into google. Thanks

[@BadgerDave]

fantastic review mate! I've been toying with the idea of replacing my 1080 with a 3060 ti because the price is so low right now but then again I might hold out a few months to see what the 4060 cards look like. I keep going back and forth, sigh.

[@NikkiandBunty]

amazing how solid the 1080 cards are after all this time. nice video!

[@BenchyTests]

Yeah, they're still really good. And thanks!

[@Xalior]

I upgraded from a 1070 to a 3050 for one reason. Power consumption, or - specifically - heat production. -Dx

[@BenchyTests]

I think fully loaded the 3060 Ti pulls about 50 or so watts less than my 1080 could.

[@rusticza1355]

Great review thanks for sharing, saved me a decent amount of money :)

[@SirBojo4]

The 1% and 0.1 were a little bit weird looking at the averages. Although, the 3060ti had a crazy margin going from the 1080.

[@BenchyTests]

I think sometimes there can just be really brief hitches that bring it down, that might not always happen. Being just me running the channel I can't do enough test runs to iron them out. But yeah, it's crazy seeing what a current gen '60 series card can do compared to what used to be the best.

[@tech1m502]

The Rtx 3060 Ti is a great card, i had it for a year before i upgraded to a rtx 3080, definitely a great GPU

[@mrhappy8966]

i have both rtx 3080 and 6800xt i prefer 68xt honestly

[@tech1m502]

@@mrhappy8966 That's cool, but why if you have both, use the most powerful?

[@mrhappy8966]

@@tech1m502 because at 1440p the 6800xt smokes the 3080 and that's my monitors resolution

I had an identical upgrade (1080 to 3060 Ti) some time ago and I don't regret. My CPU is worse (i5-8600k OC'ed to 4,6), but I play single player games in 1440p and I'm still mostly GPU-bottlenecked.

[@Tattzz]

Very strange how it renders slower, I noticed the big frame spikes aswell.. was thinking of upgrading my 1080 to this card as they’re going for around 400 now

[@BenchyTests]

It could just be my specific use case. GPU rendering has gotten better in recent Resolve updates, so it might be better than the 1080 now, I'm not sure.

[@Tattzz]

@@BenchyTests thank you for the update! I decided on the 3070 I reckon 😂

[@TheAustinExperience]

Ive just done the same upgrade

[@jmarco335]

Pretty good video thanks

[@shadowinthevoid]

Does sound abit sus about the seller. Hopefully you'll not have any issues once you've been able to swap the fans. I don't think you really need more power then that unless your doing things with VR or 4K monitors. Not that I play that many current games.

[@footballhighlights909]

In my country Rtx 3060 ti price is €580 and GTX 1080 €280. Will I give € 300 just for 26 fps. 🤔

[@BenchyTests]

Wouldn't be worth it. Unless you specifically want ray tracing or DLSS then the 1080 is still more than enough.

[@Wodkaholic]

Looks like I'll be keeping my 1080 GTX still

[@UStrom3169]

This is the most quiet Scottish man I’ve ever heard. Thank you.

[@Castour]

its not using the full gpu usage because you a cpu bound. meaning that your gpu is stronger than what the cpu can handle in the game making a small bottleneck

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Would it bottleneck with an i7-7700k?

[@teachhimself]

can you do a vid on 1080ti and rx 6600xt

[@BenchyTests]

I don't have those cards.

[@NKCMEH]

did you move?

[@BenchyTests]

Moved house last year, yeah.

[@16bitstoDie]

it's a nice upgrade, congratulations on that and keep up with the excellent work

[@BenchyTests]

Thanks!
