      Not necessarily killing it but the future is geared towards AI and machine learning. People and companies working in that sector don’t mind dishing out 3K$ for a GPU, leaving desktop PC gamers in the dust.

      Aside from Nvidia, I bought a 7800XT last Christmas. No drivers issues at all and plays almost everything at 1440p/120fps on medium-to-high settings. Don’t forget Intel’s upcoming in the GPU industry as well.

          They could be pulling out of the GPU market but I’m unaware of that. I still hear people waiting for the Battlemage lineup so I guessed they were still in with a planned release on Q4 2024.

          Otherwise, thanks for the heads-up!

      Same.

      My 1080ti has survived three machines now. I keep looking to upgrade but the newer cards are so expensive now it’s ridiculous.

    The greatest GPU of all time was and shall always be the ATi 9800 Pro.

    I will be taking no further questions.

    Still running one of those bad boys in my pc 😍 Really looking forward to my next upgrade tho, the 1080ti is often a bit overwhelmed by the games I play.

      When any of the next series of GPU’s are released in 9 to 12 months, you definitely should buy a new GPU, considering the 4060 beats the 1080 Ti in everything.

          Given the engineering differences, which title or application does a 1080 Ti beat 4060, and under what circumstance?

              On your own personal system, what was you frame rate for Metro Exodus with a 1080 Ti and a 4060? Not looking at other people’s performance stats, on your system what numbers for 1% low do you get on both GPU’s? Have you tested the video quality difference for the encoder between NVENC on 1080 Ti and NVENC on a 4060? If so, which programs did you run on each of them?

                  I bought a 4060 for the encoder plus gaming. I need both the best AV1 encoding and gaming performance, not solely gaming performance alone.

    I had a 1080 for 6 years, was a great card. I ended up having to replace it since it started causing crashes when under load.

    I bit the bullet and replaced it with a 7900 XTX, here’s hoping this one lasts another 6+ years.
