im convinced the 1080 will live forever at this point
Yeah the vram really helps
its already worse than the lowest level current gen card and pretty much can't run games using the latest tech, it will be generally redundant in not too long.
1080 Ti (so 3060 to that extent) is already becoming outdated.
@@oxfordsparkyit beats a 3050. last gen 50 cards tend to set the bar for PC games of the present generation. it's nowhere close to flagship status anymore, but it still definitely works. heck, not too long ago I daily drove a 1060, and it ran most of the games I play with compromises
Well it won't in fact it's already dead
Ahh, when gpu generations gave an actual performance uplift, the good old times.
Now from nvidia 3000 to 4000 and amd 6000 to 7000 we got like a 5% improvement, noice
Thats true only for low end ones, mid tier like rtx4070 and 4070ti destroy 3070 and 3070ti, 4070ti is actually faster then rtx 3090 as well the peformance incress continued to incress at around 20-40% but the cost didnt
@@Ciffer-1998 6800xt = 7800xt, 3060 = 4060, 4070 should be like a 3090 at least, and is not, 4080 should be like 50-70% over the 3080 and is not, 7900xt/xtx are also dissapointing, 7600xt also crap, 7700xt is ok.
the only good one is the 4090, the other is 0 improvement
I got a 3080 for 400 which is a bargain in the uk, 4070tis go for about 700-900, for such a small bump in performance and some gimmicks that only apply to a handful of games it's just disgusting @@Ciffer-1998
In 2023 "low end" = "anything other than 4090"
@@Ciffer-1998true. But shame about the Vram.
I was so envious of the 1080/ti back in the day, hated the owners of them! But me getting an RX 570 made me really happy, and later a 7900XTX even more. Glad the 1080 was so future proof it still holds well against even newer cards while looking gorgeous.
you went from rx 570 to 7900xtx? In one go?
@@samarkand1585What's so surprising? Great upgrade.
@@2hotflavored666 I was just thinking of the difference it must make
@@samarkand1585 True, that's like 3 generations? Absolutely massive.
Nice. Love my 7900XTX also (think 7800XT would be enough for a lot of people). I had a lowly 1060 3gb back then in a prebuilt I upgraded, was my first GPU so I didn't much know there was a difference between that 1060 and 1080 streamers were using. Friend of mine held his RX580 through the shortages until things were cheaper.
I rocked my 980 from 2015 till 2022. A nice card.
Nice :) It’s still pretty solid for the money but could definitely do with more vram!
@@RandomGaminginHD right, I was starting to see the bottleneck of the VRAM in Escape from Tarkov performance. Also Metro Exodus enhanced edition would not even want to launch. 😀
@@technicallycorrect838 Also have a 980 pretty sure Metro exodus the enhanced edition wont launch on any gtx card normal Metro exodus works fine though
Awesome videos man. Been watching for a couple years now. Straight forward information and more real world scenarios than most other channels.
Thanks :)
@@RandomGaminginHDyou also don't go overboard with the "like and subscribe" phrase many other RUclipsrs tell you at least 3-4 with in the 10 mins
I bought a used 1080 to replace the used Vega 64 that replaced the 1060 in my first gaming desktop. What I didn't know was that my 1080 upgrade would happen literal months before the c19 lockdown and subsequent outage of computer hardware.
From Vega 64 to 1080 is a massive DOWNgrade in compute power, holy moly. Unless you sold that Vega for A LOT of money, you got scammed
Would be interesting to see how the 980 compares to a 1060. Those two are pretty close in price these days. The 1060 should provide more modern API support, longer driver support and significantly less power draw, but the 980 might provide some more fps.
Well 980 Ti was pretty close to a GTX 1070 so the 980 and 1060 likely aren't far apart in terms of performance. I'd wager within 5% depending on the game especially DX11 titles but newer DX12 games I think the 1060 will win easily. One of the reasons Pascal was so legendary. Never again will Nvidia make the mistake of giving us previous Gen xx80 performance for $300. Imagine a RTX 5060 that performs like an RTX 4080 for only $400. 😮😂😢
In terms of raw FPS, the 1060 generally falls somewhere between a 970 and a 980 depending on what you're playing. Personally, for a few quid more than the 1080, I'd look for an RX5700XT which will usually outperform even a 1080Ti. That's a big jump above a standard 1080.
Someone did a video on it a couple years back. The gtx 1060 6gb won most the tests. But it was close it wasn't beating the gtx 980 by a huge margin. Only a couple fps.
Well, Nvidia theirselves advertised the 1060 with the slogan "the power of GTX 980 for every gamer" back in the day, but after years of drivers, the 1060 will probably win.
I think you're not really considering how limiting 4 gigs of vram are today. Outside of esports any game from the last 3 years considers it a given that you have 6 gigs of vram.
Loving the content as always, I've been subbed for years now long before your car channel existed lol 😆
Hi, thanks for the new format with summary, I found it very useful. Any chance to have a video sometime where you would explain the main tweaks on videos settings? Many thanks again for the hard work, Stef (Bristol/Nantes)
Your wholesome videos keep me sane my man.
Great video 😀
The frame times are quite interesting also if you ask me.
I still use a GTX1080, RTX2080 and a RTX3080-12GB. When running benchmarks it's fun to see that in some cases performance almost doubles.
I had the 1070 version of that XLR Pny card. I absolutely loved that card. it was an overclocking beast and I actually enjoyed the red only lighting on it.
I could not afford the 980 but by the time the 1080 came out I could afford that and boy was it a great upgrade from the 970 I had at the time
I went from the 970 to the 1080Ti and I'm still using it. The 970 was a great card even with the nerfed .5GB memory.
Went from a 960 4gb to 1080 and it was awesome. Bought a rx 7800. Its nice. But mostly begauise i needed the 16 ram for editing 😅
do you care i have a 4090 and you dont?@@Fadingfool
Neat comparison, and eye opening from a value perspective. I could relate to this because I ran a 1070 Ti for a fair chunk of time, and it did me well. The stock 1070 Ti performed pretty close to the 1080, and beat it when overclocked.
Great video sir, thats a big jump in performance
my 2nd pc basically consists of my old hardware, a b450m and a 970 strix with 1600cpu. I mainly just use that one for light work, word documents etc, but its suprising how well it still holds up in new games if you meddle with settings.
I've watched your videos for years and the hardware on random surfaces out side still makes me uncomfortable lol
great video as always!
New video yes please, quite sad to see my graphics card up in the ring but oh well hahahha
I can definitely say not regarding performance but looks the gtx 900's and 1000's blower style cards looks incredible in my opinion. Performance was there on 900's at the time and the 1000's is still good now as it is
True, its all in the eye of the beholder. I always avoided them as they were fugly.
But man, they run hot, like really hot. I have a 1080 FE for fun, and it runs hotter than my heater
@@tractor6619 yea they did run hot but everything else ran cooler
@@jackjude it's usually a hit or miss varying on the model
Thanks for This Video im planning to buy a Used PC For my Borthers 12th Birthday and i didnt knew if a gtx 980 or 1080 was better but know it helped me a bit more in the Decision
A 980 Ti vs 1080 Ti comparison would be interesting. Upgraded from 980 Ti to 1080 Ti back in the day but totally forgot to make any comparison.
It's very interesting and valuable to consumers that you test older hardware and show us how it holds up.
Great vid
i kinda like the concept of side by side comparison of generations, would love to see more videos like that!
HD7970 VS R9 290X would be nice, also RX580 vs mid range RDNA2 (6600XT maybe)
Gotta love the old Nvidia design with their reference coolers.
I noticed with the Assassins Creed benchmark the crowd is different on each run, surely this effects consistency between tests?!
appreciate the percentage differences!
I'm still rocking my GTX1080 because there simply isn't any reason to replace it. There are no cost-effective options with a significant enough performance uplift for me to even give a damn.
Thats how I feel with my 1070, the upgrade im looking at would be a 3060ti, which is still only 8gb so that seems silly, or a 6700xt 12 gb which makes more sense. But still its $250 for a 50% performance bump, the 1070 does great still, max out RE4 remake, max out elden ring, does great with my 5600x.
@@craciunator995600X and AM4 will be just as legendary in a few years. 4 years old and still the king of budget CPUs.
Anyways, my brother's running an original GTX 1650. Same situation as yours, it still runs games well at 1440p 5 years later. Cheap new cards are more sidegrades than anything.
@@masterkamen371 I ended up finding a 6700xt for $200 shortly after that comment lol, its quite a jump from the 1070
That general overall speedup being what it is led me back in 2018 to jump from a GTX 980 originally bought new at launch to a 1080 Ti bought used, for a slightly lower cost, resulting in the genuinely minimum 2x speedup I wanted, alongside of course a hefty bump in VRAM. The caveat is of course power consumption, but a little voltage or power optimisation can fix that, without losing anything significant vs. stock.
However, I have bought used 1080s for builds I've done for friends, most noteably a "family" PC for which I limited GPU power to 70%, reducing the performance down to that of a 1070 Ti, but reducing max power consumption by a far more significant 25%, which alongside some CPU optimisations of a 5600X resulted in a combined-with-monitor idle power draw of 37W, ideal in these electricity bill horror struck face inducing times.
Another good use for 1080s is NVEnc. There's no significant difference in the video engine between the 1080 and 1080 Ti, so the 1080 does better in terms of transcoding efficiency, though the overall winner on that front is the 1050 Ti (after Pascal, NVIDIA reduced the no. of NVEnc chips in its consumer SKU video engines, hence the encoding performance is actually worse, something I confirmed by benching a friend's 2080 Ti). The 980 can do it too of course, but it's half the speed of Pascal.
I wouldn't mind upgrading my 1080 Ti to again something at least twice as fast but with no more or preferably somewhat lower power consumption, at no more than the same 450 UKP budget of five years ago, yet in the current market there is absolutely nothing which qualifies as viable. Modern GPU pricing is absurd. Indeed, if one adjusts for power, clock and other factors, modern GPU products are actually worse now than Maxwell (the 4080 is basically now triple the cost of what the 980 was at launch, give or take; no thanks). Note the 7900 XT is also too expensive and too high on the power usage.
Pretty good comparison. I do like the percentages. Both great starter used GPUs! Shame that as soon as DX12 Ultimate becomes required they'll quickly die out.
Awesome video I just went from the 980ti to a 3080
How are you getting these results on the Witcher 3? I was playing it when the next gen patch dropped and had to give up, frame rate tanked to unplayable. 1070ti slightly overclocked with an 8600k at 4.8ghz. 16 gig. Any ideas?
You're a very good and knowledgeable person I like you alot.
It's great to see how 1080 still holds on. I also just upgraded from RX 570 4GB to 5700XT OC Evoke which I got off my friend for 150$. It's still a great card for the money.
I would be interested if you could get your hands on an arc a580, I have been seeing them popup on a few stores here for a very good price.
I had to build some work station pcs during the GPU shortage and only could get Gtx 1050 ti's. Now these a580's are the same price as the 1050s during shortage, so I am hoping to upgrade them.
Nice video bro huge fan , can you do rx580 vs gtx1060 6gb please 🙏🙏
At 4:48, the footage looks a lot nor jittery than a 53fps would imply. Is that the encoding, or does it look that way in person?
A low power GPU would be a nice Vid. Are there any cheap cards that run on 6pin power theses days? Preferably close a generation or 2 old
hi randomgaminginhd, what would be a good cpu that will run roblox with 100+ or 80+ fps?
Both cards holding up pretty well!
When i upgraded a couple of years ago i chucked my old 980ti in my girlfriends rig, pair with an i3 10100 it does a solid job for her basic gaming needs at 4K
I have a 1080 in my spares box as an emergency graphics card, I was about to chuck it away but you just gave it a stay of execution! 😂😂
That was just 6 years ago. And next gen cards only had minor price increases while offering so much more performance. Today Nvidia is a de facto monopoly and prices have tripled since then while performance increases are much less than what they used to be. People really need to start buying Intel and amd cards if they want this to stop.
Crazy seeing the color and in game graphic/display differences between the two GPUs with exactly the same graphic settings.
You should test to see if chimeraos (a version of steamos for regular computers) nets any noticeable FPS improvements over windows.
The mid to higher 10 series will be the best-remembered in terms for price to performance for 2010s NVidia GPUs, although the 9 series was a solid contender for its time.
I was using a gtx1080 until about two months ago. I had been planning to upgrade for the last year or so because I have a 1440p 144hz monitor and this last years batch of games was finally making it show some of its age at that resolution with Cyberpunk and Starfield being the main culprits. I finally bit the bullet on a 4070 so I could take advantage of RT and DLSS (almost got a 7800xt but I prefer DLSS to FSR and I'm going to be relying on DLSS in the coming years to get the most life I can out of the 4070).
I upgraded my partner's pc from a 1650 with my old 1080 since they play at 1080p and it's perfect for them. They were going for $200-$250 USD on ebay a few months back and I thought that was a steller deal so I'm surprised they've dropped so much since then.
Bad choice😜😜
I should have bought a 1080. Didn't know what a difference back then first GPU the 1060 3gb and 1080 had in performance (just got a budget prebuilt back in 2016). Have had a 3060 12gb, 7800XT, and 7900XTX though and it's interesting to see settings and optimizations that can be done on different hardware.
How does the gtx 980 benefit from FSR upscaling?
I have 980ti and its not bad at all, thanks for vid.
C'mon then, what should we buy as an alternative to the 1080, 2060 sup?
Me and my 980ti hybrid hoping you give us a glowing review and that i dont need a 1080ti 🤣
i went from a 970 to a FE 1080 for like 120 canadian dollars few weeks ago, its really nice for dollar to performance, especially for a second pc. plus its affordable enough now for all the kids that couldnt get that founders edition back then 😄 as a side note i think used market is seriously untapped right now, also found myself a M2000 for 35$ this summer,
G'day Random,
The fps/$$$ comparison is similar down here with average buy it now prices for 980 $130AUD upwards vs 1080 $300AUD upwards,
exchange is £1-$1.92AUD at the moment so they compare currency wise too
my old computer has the exact same model of gtx 980 and it's no pushover, it can still handle most games to this day really well
Do a video like this for the 1070 Ti and 2070 Super.
Suggestion for the next test.. Do two 980s in SLI outperform one 1080😊
I think in older games it will, like in GTA 5 or Fallout 4 since they support SLI. However, SLI has been dead since 2018
Have a somewhat "broken" GTX 1080 Ti.
I bought new cooling pads but they seem too thick and the GPU doesn't give full contact.
So it runs around 90 - 92°C, which is even higher than the usual 80 - 82°C.
Sadly I don't know what cooling pads I need and how thick they need to be, else it runs stable even in Final Fantasy 15, which uses all of the VRAM and GPU at 4K with 4K Texture Pack.
im still using my 1070ti paired with a r7 1700from back in one of the other pc pricing crisis's , got that overclocked and still runs everything i need it to, maybe when gta 6 for pc releases ill upgrade but thats like what, 8 year lifespan of a gaming pc? seems mighty fine to me, spend big once and ride out that gpus lifespan as long as its capable enough
Its worth gettting the 1080 if you are on a tight budget as you might get a few years out of it. What about the 6gb 980Ti? do you have one of these to do a comparison performance/cost
Had a 1080 since 2019 purchased used and i still use it today.
How well will the 980s run in sli today, if they're half the price of the 1080
I got GTX 1080 before C-19, and it is still the same price used as I got it...
Can you do a video where you compare the performance of an igpu when you dedicate increasing amounts of ram to be used as vram for it?
Yeah working on something like that :)
I sort of use the GTX980. I have a GTX980M in my laptop, also with 4GB of VRAM. I've had the laptop for over 7 years and while I don't game on it very often, if I'm on the go and want to play games at low/medium settings, it still very much gets the job done.
Same, using rog g751jy laptop with gtx 980m and it still runs games good enough while temps stay under 75 c°.
@@stefanpavicic6277Nice! Mine is a ASUS ROG G752VY, so a very similar model!
My 1080 was going strong until Starfield... that AMD Starfield promo bundle was too tasty to pass up. Now i'm rocking the 6700 budget king, really hoping it holds up as long as the 1080 has.
I just picked up two 1080s the other day that I’m going to pair with Xeon e5-2699 v3. I got a new in box stock extreme4 about a month ago that I’m going to be using for my mobo
Very nice :)
Why on earth would you build a machine like this today? This setup was difficult to justify when it was current let alone now.
cpu bottleneck is going to be crazy
RX5600XT is a great alternative to the GTX1080 for around the same price. Similar performance. You might even find a cheap RX5700XT which is decently faster for barely much more.
I have an older system with a 980Ti 6GB, which is a good upgrade from the normal 980, depending on price of course.
5700xt or 6800 depending on what you want to spend and what cpu you have
I'm hoping to upgrade soon, but I still have my GTX 1080. Can't believe it's already almost 6 years old, but I haven't been playing too many new games lately anyways
A 908ti vs a 1080 would be a good comparison 🙂
Do you mean gtx 980ti?
Proud owner of a gtx980, now I'm upgrading to a rx7800 xt but the 980 will forever remain in my heart
Wait. So Intel already put out a 14 series card even though they are supposedly changing the naming scheme? They couldn't even make a xlean generarion break?
I still want to own a 1080 someday. It's still really good for just about everything even today
I have that exact PNY 1080 in my PC rn
now I get why tech reviewers pair the tested GPUs with the best performing CPUs they have or at least try to obtain prior to testing, its for the scenarios one might keep their GPU down the line and years when they start a build with lesser CPUs than the showcased! Of course this is not the end all and be all use case but its finally shed light on my sight
It's like you know what "stupid old cards" that I like to see bench marked head to head. Those 1080's are legendary in my eyes. There are lots of 1080's in my local market, ranging from $100-$180 depending on the seller and model. GTX980s are a bit more rare and go for around $75.
I would love to see one of these with a 980ti vs 1080ti in 2023
Legendary Pascal
i love how this dude keeps finding gpus in the wild, near ponds and into the forests
I have a GTX 1080 from ZOTAC bought in 2016. One of the greatest cards I have and use, second only to the GTX 970.
I wish generational performance improvements were this significant with more gpu's nowadays.
I always love to check the local marketplace one to two weeks before Black Friday this time around I found it GTX 1080 for $75
I retired my 1080 last month for a 4070. I'm now planning to make a retro build with the 1080, lmao
Still have a 1070oc in my pc. Its just starting to show signs of getting old only with new maxed out games. Still totally respectable frame rates though
Double the vram, almost double the performance, sure was a good buy back then, on release this was a 4k card, 1080 ftw!
I Can't wait to see the future of GPU
I still have had my 980 ti for like 5 years with mild problems like some games will take time to load
I am satisfied from the GTX 980 I got it in 2014 summer and it played many games for me until I switch it in May 2022 for my 6900XT I got my money value in 8 years of non stop use
nice
1080 legend! would love to see a 57000xt vx 1080 in 2023
Maybe next you wanna try: GTX 750Ti vs 950. Or GTX 1050 vs RX560? What the best price and FPS in 2023. I think they are best GPU for potato system old i5 6gen or older.
Pretty sure they said the 980 support is ending next update.
I'd like to have seen a comparison to a RX6600 which I think would be about in the same price tier. To see if there is anything to gain by going back to a golden oldie. I have a 1080 and I would say if it's free, game on! I wouldn't recommend buying one in practically 2024.
Where I live the 1080 is about 2.5-3x the price of the 980. I’d be interested to know how the 980ti bs 1070 performs these days. It used to be that they were very similar but 1070 should be better these days due to more RAM and newer architecture. 980ti can be had for about 20-25% cheaper though. At least here.
My gf has a 4gb rx 580 I want to get a gtx 1080 8gb as an upgrade for her, would love to see a video with those two cards
This CPU Power consumption in games is crazy
Well, that is a Intel Core i9 14900K you're referring to there. One of the highest power consuming desktop CPUs in recent memory.
I have been dropping used gtx 1070s in my second line builds. they are pretty much champs.
If you don't care about the latest AAA, 1070 is the budget king. Amazing FPS per $$$ value.
Not surprised but still so impressive. It single-handedly made the last generation of cards completely obsolete
i found a killer deal on a 1080 ti got it for 125 usd
