The 980Ti in my rig is the best PC hardware purchase I've ever made. It's still going strong a little over 5 years after I built it knocks wood , and although I'm starting to feel the itch to upgrade for real-time ray tracing and 4K HDR 120Hz, the 2560x1080 ultrawide monitor I currently use has a max refresh rate of 75Hz anyway, and 2560x1080 75Hz seems to be right in the 980Ti's sweet spot at ultra settings in most AAA games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the first (and so far only) game I've played in which I've had to significantly turn graphics settings down from their maximum in order to get playable frame rates at my monitor's native resolution.

Still using my MSI 980TI blower card - no rush to upgrade before the prices and stock is normal. I play everything at 1440p - 165HZ.
Problem is, if I upgrade the GPU to a 3080, I will need to upgrade the PSU as well - and then my i5-6600K will probably be the bottleneck, so then I would need to upgrade the MOBO and CPU as well to newer gen and more cores... which would require a new set of RAM... Then all of the sudden, it is basically cheaper to just buy a new PC :( If you have any thoughts on this, I would love to hear from everybody.

Are these tests done in ultra settings?
Also how about you do this test but on 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Not a lot of us have 4k monitors.
It's pretty obvious as you use newer monitor technologies like massive 4k panels that the newer cards will handle that massive data just fine because of their vram and newer processors geared for 4k
For the average consumer like me, I want to see 1080p tests on ultra, because if I'm not pushing 4k I think the 1080ti is still good enough nowadays. What do you think Gamers Nexus

I had 2 980Ti in SLI (+OC) and they scaled well in the games I played at the time! But one died last winter and the other one started crashing from time to time even at stock settings this summer. I am begging that it'll last until my pre-ordered 3080 will arrive... Prices dropped quickly back then and I got them crazy cheap (350 per card) when the 1080 (non-sli) was only announced.

You think 500 for a 5700 xt on ebay is a lot? The sellers officially listed by AMD are selling them for 550-650 (670-790 ) in Germany because these greedy pieces of sh t dont actually convert the prices from into , they just cross out the dollar sign and put behind it.
So even at MSRP stuff like the 6800 costs 700 because they just change it to Euros.

passed mine on to a friend 3 days ago, and i think for the price they go for in my area (roughly 200) they are a decent option right now if you need something to hold out with until some semblance of sanity is restored to the GPU market if you're at 1440p or lower

My 980ti is still running strong but i'm running a 1440p setup so she's losing steam every year. Overall still super happy with it and will probably end up attempting to wait out this 30 series rollout in hopes 40 series gives me a reason to support Nvidia.

Literally just replaced my 980TI (with 2 120mm Noctua case fans zip tied to the heat sink pipes) with a 3080 yesterday. She gave me so many frames for so many years, I didn't have the heart to bin her. May her die rest in peace at room temperature forever.

I've been running a 980ti since the beginning of 2016 and it's been doing well. Like I can run most stuff at max settings up until more recent titles. Decided to finally upgrade recently and got myself a 3080. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I got a 980ti Hybrid two years ago for under 200... to get 2x the performance today (the amount I upgrade by to make it feel worth it) I'd need to get something 3060ti level, which costs 600. It's insane how terrible value cards have become.
