I was there with my 980ti HOF. RAN everything ultra. I still have it. A few days ago I bought a 7900 XT NItro+. It's a great card, but I expected better. I get around 30-40% better performance, maybe 50% with 2k resolution, it should be 2.5x better, but it is not in most tests I had. Part of it is bottleneck by the 5820k 4.3ghz 3200mhz 32gb ram which doesn't like high fps that much. In bf2042 and many games it sits at 100% or the single core performance is not there for higher fps. 4K is good, but not perfect either. It doesn't feel as good as back in 2016 when I built my PC. Maybe if I got a new processor with it or the 7900 XTX or maybe a 4090 would have had a different experience, but the prices are also steep...

@@Jay-jk3zy it sure runs well! Feels good to have such an upgrade. For me getting the 980ti 5820k in 2016 to upgrade from laptop i5 gen 2 555m was day and night. Finished gta5 while waiting for components on low and then finished again on ultra 120+ fps...
i still have the 980 ti strix as spare gpu, my favourite one of all times. now i have the 3080 ti, but the 980 ti was my first 80 ti and aesthetically the strix was way better than the new ones.
The 1050TI was my dream card knowing how it was promoted across all platforms but that was during the days when Doom 2016 was released, and holy frick $650? add another 50$ and nowadays where i'm from i can get a brand new 3060TI close to that amount and it's a beast.
The 980ti was my first enthusiast class GPU & it will always have a special place for me because of that. Prior to that I was running a crossfire 390X/290X setup & the 980ti managed to perform just about the same as the crossfire setup! Then my 980ti was one of the best overclockers I've ever had, I could easily run 1520 Mhz core 2010 Mhz mem IIRC, which was pretty much a 50% OC from stock speeds! When I found a great deal on a 1080ti I had to upgrade, but TBH every card I've had since the 908ti (1080ti & 3090) was nowhere near as fun to tweak. So awesome to see the 908ti is still holding on to this day!
@@raresmacovei8382 On paper yes it should be around the same Tflops as a 1080/1080ti, but in practice definitely not. I ended up with roughly the same FPS, in the same system, in the same games (with a few outliers that actually worked well with CFX/SLI) with the 980ti compared to the 390X/290X (both 8GB cards). When I got my 1080ti it blew the CFX 390X/290X out of the water, especially since CFX/SLI died a death by then.
Yeah 1520/8020mhz on stock pcb is pretty good as those dont have great power delivery. But those cards could even go as high as 1700mhz core on golden samples (on air coooling!). Mine does only about 1550 max core but has pretty good memory at 4230mhz
@@raresmacovei8382 While in raw power yes 290X in CF is even slightly faster than 1080ti (massive gains when OC on Hawaii) scaling in games after 2014-2015 is hardly optimal and you also need to consider lower 1% lows etc
One of my friends is still using a GTX 980TI because of the analog DVI output and because it is enough for GTA5 in 1080p but it seems like the VRMs are slowly dying. I want to get my hands on a GTX 1080TI for a “budget workstation” project, I know a newer card such as 6700XT would make more sense. :)
I still have the 980Ti, I built a new PC with a 4070 Ti just a couple of months ago but its crazy to me how well the 980 Ti holds up.. this card was a beast
Its been over 8 years . My evga 980ti still rocking ❤ might upgrade in 2024! I need to build new pc too, ive been using my pc for a bit over 12years lol
I just started building my new PC today. For 8 years straight I've been using a laptop with 960m on it and it was great, played through entire cyberpunk on it in 30 fps 720p. You could try out desktop version of it as well, never let me down except for well outdated performance but even with that it was holding up surprisingly well.
Oh god that is just painful, I mean fuck. How privileged I am to have played that game at somewhat better fps and 1440p. I just can't do 720p, I just can't. Anything I need turn down below 900p for I simply write off as being unplayable. I can deal with 24fps in a crpg, I can not deal with 30fps at 720p. I guess it depends on the game though, I mean to be fair you can kind of get away with it on a singleplayer first person or third OtS, a strategy game or a crpg looks like such ass. I mean you could have gotten a 980m if it had an MXM module (and not a shitty proprietary one like I think, MSI is the one who does that? Some company makes terrible proprietary ones you have to buy only theirs) I think they've just been making more or less the same chip for nearly a decade now. The GTX 980 or 980ti is essentially the 1060 6gb and the 1650super which is a 3050m.
The big issue isn't raw power rather modern dx12 support, it supports older versions of dx12 but dx12 ultimate causes it to have to fall back to older versions of dx12 hampering performance
Have this card, got it in the middle of the scalper pandemic for cheaper than comparable 1060s. The one downside of Maxwell vs Pascal is the lack of support for Freesync/VRR displays (G-Sync module exlusively), making the 40-60fps that is fine on more modern cards mean that you're most likely dealing with screen tearing on Maxwell cards. Love this card for the backlog clearing duty it has, as it powers through anything released pre-2016, while giving competitive performance in modern e-sports style games.
When this came out Myself and my group of friends had GTX 760/960/HD7870/HD7850. Basically same class more or less of GPUs with 2GB of VRAM. Then one of us got this card which seemed INSANE for our friends group at the time and very expensive. The 6GB of VRAM seemed overkill and the card was fast af.
one thing to remember is that you are also recording, both a game and webcam/audio which can take away from the fps in regards to ram and procesor, things dont only have a negative affect on game performance when at 100% so the performance in my head im adding an extra 10% to everything if done outside of a recording session so if it got 42fps average than it would get 46, 47 fps average is what im figuring.
with my haswell core i5 its STRUGGLING but the 980ti definetly keeps it up to still play most games medium and high. Great card, crazy to think it was somewhere around $650 new, now that gets you "mid range" in the current GPU market.
My 980 still plays every game I throw at it fantastically. I have a G-Sync monitor which compensates for any subpar framerates. Can't believe how solid a setup it still is in 2023.
Until like 6-7 years ago, for a mid-range PC you needed 500W PSU. Now you need 700-750W for a mid-range, and 1kW for an enthusiast. Not to mention the people who put 1500W in their PCs.
I built my PC with a 750w bronze psu in 2012. It's the same psu and PC I use today. It's better to leave some headroom so the parts don't wear out and break IMHO. Build for longevity. When a PSU delivers power closer to it's capacity over a long period of time, the components inside the PSU can wear out from stress. For instance, with a 750 watt psu, I would try to make sure the parts power draw doesn't go above 600 watts, which is 80%.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es Yes, but now you'll need a kW if you want to build a higher end PC for longevity. Back in 2012 the high-end GTX 680 had a TDP of like 200W and the enthusiast GTX 690, which was a double GPU, had a TDP of 300W. Now the 4080 uses 320W and the 4090 uses 450W.
I had two of them in SLI in march 2015 and I felt like a king. I have played the Witcher 3 and GTA 5 in 4K/60 Ultra and Hairworkes in the Witcher. This was unthinkable of wich only one GPU back then.
performance of 980ti-1070-1660ti-3050 desktop-4050laptop@35w is similar (in rasterizated games) excluding ray tracing and AI applications. when running stable diffusion, 3050 and 4050@35w however destroys 980ti and even 1080. 4050laptop@35w is such a beast showcasing TSMC 4N incredible efficiency in thin and light laptop.
My dream card was a 2080ti but I couldn't afford it. Then when I heard the 3070 was coming out at $500 with the same similar specs besides vRam I bought it when released October 29th. I was very happy and now I just purchased a RTX 4090 as my dream card I am finally set for a very long time.
nVidia need to finally fix their VRAM. I don't even see them as viable anymore because they cost too much money offering way too little performance for the cash, and then you'll not get to play ultra setting onnew game for more than 2 years anyway because VRAM is so crippled. It was like this way on even 700 series, a 770 is unplayable on any modern game not because is too slow, it can still run Witcher 3 just fine on ultra setting, but because its video memory is ass. 3070 is still using the memory configuration of 10 series, which was a full generation late on going 8gb like the way AMD did for 400 series. So that completely crippled the entire stack of 700 series, even the 780ti is a 3gb card and basically unplayable on ultra texture settings 1080p, it's basically only a monster at 768p. GTX 980ti at least has ok video memory, that's the problem, you basically get upsold and price gouged to get a 80ti because everything else is designed to age to oblivion, anything below an 80 is going to age like such a shit you're going to have to sit there like a cuck playing medium settings in 2 years while AMD user is still playing at very high setting just because nVidia's bad VRAM. 80 is like the barest minimum, 10gb for 3080 is just barely enough to not age out completely like 3070 did and become useless for newer games. Even an nVidia optimized game like Cyberpunk runs into many problems with 8gb of VRAM, it basically needed a 3080 to run it, meanwhile it's perfectly playable on 1070ti at 1080p, but it stutters and crashes with weird texture glitches using RT on a 3070 and I'd be pretty pissed buying a $500 graphics card that should be $400 graphics card performing so badly I can't even get great performance on literally the flagship game that's selling it to me. Anything other than a 4090 is pointless to buy from nVidia. And 4090 only because a Ferrari isn't meant to be good value, it's meant to be a high end luxury item and among the best. Which makes buying a Suburu performing car at Ferrari level prices stupid and pointless, and is how I see all lower end and midrange nVidia GPU now.
LOL - Im still casually gaming on an x99 2699 v3 and a 1080ti in 2023. I wasn't making much money during that time so I saved up and bought it piece by piece. Nothing wrong with 'old' hardware - it gets the job done!
I went for an R9 390x back in the day paired with a i5 2500. I won't say it was the better card, but for me it was a beast. I had it all the way up to Elden Ring running 1440p max settings (few things chopped/changed on certain games) and good fps, hovering between 30 and sometimes 50 in the end. I eventually moved on to a 1660 super (insane gpu prices at the time, this had a great deal) now paired with a i7 3770k when AMD discontinued driver support, in the end it even had a snapped fan blade but still was all I needed in those winter months, it was built for heat lol. But the 980, damn that was a fine card indeed.
I have 2 980tis... Has disappointed when I bought a single 1080ti and the 980tis outperformed it... So I got a second 1080ti and still run them. The 980tis went to my secondary PC.
Out of all games I would've expected Cyberpunk to not really run fluently at 1080p at all. The fact that you can reach very playable Fps at 1080p medium settings REALLY surprised me. And being able to achieve nearly 60Fps by using FSR is incredible. Still a pretty solid 1080p card.
I bought a mint 980 Ti the other day for $65 for my budget PC upgrade and I’ve never been happier; and to think I blew 100 for a base GTX 1050 back in 2020…
The moment, a tech reviewer calls your current graphics card "retro" =D I still run my 980TI and am really happy with it, but I'm also not playing the latest AAA titles, but I feel like it is still holding up quite fine as long as you stay away from 4K as far as you can.

What CPU do you have?
@@MrTeknown I upgraded the CPU also. Went from 4790k to 13900k.
@@Jay-jk3zy it sure runs well! Feels good to have such an upgrade. For me getting the 980ti 5820k in 2016 to upgrade from laptop i5 gen 2 555m was day and night. Finished gta5 while waiting for components on low and then finished again on ultra 120+ fps...
@@Jay-jk3zy upgraded my setup to 7800x3d and 7900XTX with a 3440x1440p monitor, huge difference.
I got a 780 Ti System that i used for 9 Years for 1080p gaming without any problems. Amazing card.
Nvidia's 9 and 10 series lineup was awesome
gtx 970?
the gtx 980ti is definetly still a great budget price to performance gpu in 2023 8 years later!
i still have the 980 ti strix as spare gpu, my favourite one of all times. now i have the 3080 ti, but the 980 ti was my first 80 ti and aesthetically the strix was way better than the new ones.
The 1050TI was my dream card knowing how it was promoted across all platforms but that was during the days when Doom 2016 was released, and holy frick $650? add another 50$ and nowadays where i'm from i can get a brand new 3060TI close to that amount and it's a beast.
A small tip, lower weather particles to medium in Spider-Man and you'll get a pretty good performance boost.
Still rocking the non ti 980 and I'm in love. Still plays all the games I want at 1080p with a good framerate. Great video as always!
Yeah the 4GB VRAM capacity is a big limiter, but it’s still decent.

This card is a masterpiece. I never felt any regret about buying that.
They've actually fixed The Last of us. I played it on my RTC 2060 laptop today, it runs at smooth 60fps in medium settings.
aaauh another BEAUTY added To the Channel ❤🔥That's so satisfying to Watch🔥
The 980ti was my first enthusiast class GPU & it will always have a special place for me because of that. Prior to that I was running a crossfire 390X/290X setup & the 980ti managed to perform just about the same as the crossfire setup! Then my 980ti was one of the best overclockers I've ever had, I could easily run 1520 Mhz core 2010 Mhz mem IIRC, which was pretty much a 50% OC from stock speeds! When I found a great deal on a 1080ti I had to upgrade, but TBH every card I've had since the 908ti (1080ti & 3090) was nowhere near as fun to tweak. So awesome to see the 908ti is still holding on to this day!
Crossfire 390X is 1080 Ti class of performance, not 980 Ti.
@@raresmacovei8382 On paper yes it should be around the same Tflops as a 1080/1080ti, but in practice definitely not. I ended up with roughly the same FPS, in the same system, in the same games (with a few outliers that actually worked well with CFX/SLI) with the 980ti compared to the 390X/290X (both 8GB cards). When I got my 1080ti it blew the CFX 390X/290X out of the water, especially since CFX/SLI died a death by then.
Yeah 1520/8020mhz on stock pcb is pretty good as those dont have great power delivery. But those cards could even go as high as 1700mhz core on golden samples (on air coooling!). Mine does only about 1550 max core but has pretty good memory at 4230mhz
@@raresmacovei8382 While in raw power yes 290X in CF is even slightly faster than 1080ti (massive gains when OC on Hawaii) scaling in games after 2014-2015 is hardly optimal and you also need to consider lower 1% lows etc
@@Rex-tt1vk Yeah there was some crazy golden sample 980ti out there. I miss the days of getting that much extra out of your card!
that card was one of the best 80ti ... I got one at time, with OC could reach the FPS of the 1080... that was insane !!!
One of my friends is still using a GTX 980TI because of the analog DVI output and because it is enough for GTA5 in 1080p but it seems like the VRMs are slowly dying. I want to get my hands on a GTX 1080TI for a “budget workstation” project, I know a newer card such as 6700XT would make more sense. :)
I still have the 980Ti, I built a new PC with a 4070 Ti just a couple of months ago but its crazy to me how well the 980 Ti holds up.. this card was a beast
Its been over 8 years . My evga 980ti still rocking ❤ might upgrade in 2024! I need to build new pc too, ive been using my pc for a bit over 12years lol
@@pokiblue5870just wait until nvidia geforce 9856700 ti ultra ftw quad frozer $7500 .. its gonna be so sweet hah
Been here since the old days , remember watching when you had around 20k something, now you are at 414k feels great and keep up the good content bro.
I just started building my new PC today. For 8 years straight I've been using a laptop with 960m on it and it was great, played through entire cyberpunk on it in 30 fps 720p. You could try out desktop version of it as well, never let me down except for well outdated performance but even with that it was holding up surprisingly well.
Oh god that is just painful, I mean fuck. How privileged I am to have played that game at somewhat better fps and 1440p.
I just can't do 720p, I just can't. Anything I need turn down below 900p for I simply write off as being unplayable. I can deal with 24fps in a crpg, I can not deal with 30fps at 720p. I guess it depends on the game though, I mean to be fair you can kind of get away with it on a singleplayer first person or third OtS, a strategy game or a crpg looks like such ass. I mean you could have gotten a 980m if it had an MXM module (and not a shitty proprietary one like I think, MSI is the one who does that? Some company makes terrible proprietary ones you have to buy only theirs)
I think they've just been making more or less the same chip for nearly a decade now. The GTX 980 or 980ti is essentially the 1060 6gb and the 1650super which is a 3050m.
This was one of my favorite cards ever
Amazing Video! Saving up for a pc and love seeing people test out old hardware that still performs amazingly!
Go with the highest tear components you can afford, that will surely last a while
I really love those older reference designs
love the 980 ti! Can’t wait to watch this video. As I always say have a lovely day Kryzzp!
It's crazy how he manages to avoid all shots while talking about the card 😂😂
Oooh. Kryzzp's doing his nails up nice for us today. ;)
The big issue isn't raw power rather modern dx12 support, it supports older versions of dx12 but dx12 ultimate causes it to have to fall back to older versions of dx12 hampering performance
You should do a video showing off all of the GPUs that you have! By now you must have a representative of every model that has been released, right?
It is my ambition to one day have a garage filled with GPU and PC part collection. I imagine zwormz has a whole room full of GPUs.
I can binge watch his videos everyday
Have this card, got it in the middle of the scalper pandemic for cheaper than comparable 1060s. The one downside of Maxwell vs Pascal is the lack of support for Freesync/VRR displays (G-Sync module exlusively), making the 40-60fps that is fine on more modern cards mean that you're most likely dealing with screen tearing on Maxwell cards. Love this card for the backlog clearing duty it has, as it powers through anything released pre-2016, while giving competitive performance in modern e-sports style games.
I felt the panic rise there when you missed BOB but then you ran after him and you got him 🤪
You taught me something yesterday to always love what am doing ❤️ thanks kryzzp
When this came out
Myself and my group of friends had GTX 760/960/HD7870/HD7850. Basically same class more or less of GPUs with 2GB of VRAM.
Then one of us got this card which seemed INSANE for our friends group at the time and very expensive. The 6GB of VRAM seemed overkill and the card was fast af.
It definitely wasnt overkill looking back - if it had 4GB of VRAM, it would struggle a lot more
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel at the time I thought 4GB is plenty enough. The R9 390 had 8GB and it was considered A LOT.
one thing to remember is that you are also recording, both a game and webcam/audio which can take away from the fps in regards to ram and procesor, things dont only have a negative affect on game performance when at 100% so the performance in my head im adding an extra 10% to everything if done outside of a recording session so if it got 42fps average than it would get 46, 47 fps average is what im figuring.
I use an external capture card and another PC to record. It doesn't affect performance.
wonderful video card, should i upgrade to a 3060? or the jump would not be so great and a better card would be better for me
i want to do the same ...
with my haswell core i5 its STRUGGLING but the 980ti definetly keeps it up to still play most games medium and high. Great card, crazy to think it was somewhere around $650 new, now that gets you "mid range" in the current GPU market.
Another legendary card on this legendary chanel! happy that you have it finaly :D
My 980 still plays every game I throw at it fantastically. I have a G-Sync monitor which compensates for any subpar framerates. Can't believe how solid a setup it still is in 2023.
Until like 6-7 years ago, for a mid-range PC you needed 500W PSU. Now you need 700-750W for a mid-range, and 1kW for an enthusiast. Not to mention the people who put 1500W in their PCs.
I built my PC with a 750w bronze psu in 2012.
It's the same psu and PC I use today. It's better to leave some headroom so the parts don't wear out and break IMHO. Build for longevity. When a PSU delivers power closer to it's capacity over a long period of time, the components inside the PSU can wear out from stress. For instance, with a 750 watt psu, I would try to make sure the parts power draw doesn't go above 600 watts, which is 80%.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es Yes, but now you'll need a kW if you want to build a higher end PC for longevity. Back in 2012 the high-end GTX 680 had a TDP of like 200W and the enthusiast GTX 690, which was a double GPU, had a TDP of 300W. Now the 4080 uses 320W and the 4090 uses 450W.
i remember commenting saying that i would send you mine but im in the U.S. BUT im glad to see the gtx 980 ti in ur family of gpus!!!
I had two of them in SLI in march 2015 and I felt like a king. I have played the Witcher 3 and GTA 5 in 4K/60 Ultra and Hairworkes in the Witcher. This was unthinkable of wich only one GPU back then.
Used to be my dream GPU back in 2015 but couldn't afford its 800-1000 price tag in Canada. Now its selling for $200 or less. Crazy times!
performance of 980ti-1070-1660ti-3050 desktop-4050laptop@35w is similar (in rasterizated games) excluding ray tracing and AI applications. when running stable diffusion, 3050 and 4050@35w however destroys 980ti and even 1080. 4050laptop@35w is such a beast showcasing TSMC 4N incredible efficiency in thin and light laptop.
During the pandemic, I grabbed a 980 for $100 bucks and it kept me frosty until just recently when I got a new card.
Awesome video as usual! Have a nice day :)
That GPU aged very well
The hands holding the GTX 980TI during the outside scene were much prettier than the hands holding it at your work/play/desk station.
I just recently upgraded my pc and moved from a 960 2GB and it was a bittersweet goodbye after 8 years.
great job, I've had them in sli for 8 years and they're still like the first day but it's time to clean hahaha
maybe you should test Rx 5700xt if you mentioned it
Got one of these at release and my son is very happy with it since I upgraded :D
Still rocking this card its def showing its age
My dream card was a 2080ti but I couldn't afford it. Then when I heard the 3070 was coming out at $500 with the same similar specs besides vRam I bought it when released October 29th. I was very happy and now I just purchased a RTX 4090 as my dream card I am finally set for a very long time.
nVidia need to finally fix their VRAM. I don't even see them as viable anymore because they cost too much money offering way too little performance for the cash, and then you'll not get to play ultra setting onnew game for more than 2 years anyway because VRAM is so crippled. It was like this way on even 700 series, a 770 is unplayable on any modern game not because is too slow, it can still run Witcher 3 just fine on ultra setting, but because its video memory is ass. 3070 is still using the memory configuration of 10 series, which was a full generation late on going 8gb like the way AMD did for 400 series. So that completely crippled the entire stack of 700 series, even the 780ti is a 3gb card and basically unplayable on ultra texture settings 1080p, it's basically only a monster at 768p. GTX 980ti at least has ok video memory, that's the problem, you basically get upsold and price gouged to get a 80ti because everything else is designed to age to oblivion, anything below an 80 is going to age like such a shit you're going to have to sit there like a cuck playing medium settings in 2 years while AMD user is still playing at very high setting just because nVidia's bad VRAM. 80 is like the barest minimum, 10gb for 3080 is just barely enough to not age out completely like 3070 did and become useless for newer games. Even an nVidia optimized game like Cyberpunk runs into many problems with 8gb of VRAM, it basically needed a 3080 to run it, meanwhile it's perfectly playable on 1070ti at 1080p, but it stutters and crashes with weird texture glitches using RT on a 3070 and I'd be pretty pissed buying a $500 graphics card that should be $400 graphics card performing so badly I can't even get great performance on literally the flagship game that's selling it to me.
Anything other than a 4090 is pointless to buy from nVidia. And 4090 only because a Ferrari isn't meant to be good value, it's meant to be a high end luxury item and among the best. Which makes buying a Suburu performing car at Ferrari level prices stupid and pointless, and is how I see all lower end and midrange nVidia GPU now.
You know your pc stuff mate, I learn off people like you.
LOL - Im still casually gaming on an x99 2699 v3 and a 1080ti in 2023. I wasn't making much money during that time so I saved up and bought it piece by piece. Nothing wrong with 'old' hardware - it gets the job done!
2023 Still using this BEAST😎😎😎
I went for an R9 390x back in the day paired with a i5 2500. I won't say it was the better card, but for me it was a beast. I had it all the way up to Elden Ring running 1440p max settings (few things chopped/changed on certain games) and good fps, hovering between 30 and sometimes 50 in the end. I eventually moved on to a 1660 super (insane gpu prices at the time, this had a great deal) now paired with a i7 3770k when AMD discontinued driver support, in the end it even had a snapped fan blade but still was all I needed in those winter months, it was built for heat lol.
But the 980, damn that was a fine card indeed.
I was playing Dota 2 and CS GO in 4K on my gtx 670 back in the day, so this thing definitely can
I’ve been running it since 2015. I probably won’t ever upgrade. I have a ps5 and a 4k tv. And my 980ti is still holding strong on my 1080p monitor.
I got my 980ti in my second PC and does the job for it! want to upgrade eventually but for now. It does the job!
nice video as always
You are very entertaining to watch. 😊
Love your vids
Thank you so much for the support! ❤️
I went from a GTX 980TI to the RTX 2070, wish i never needed to do that but the 980ti served me so well. Hope my 3080 OC does that same.
did you make that woosh sound you hear after every chapter 😭i love it
Yes 🤣
It goes … 9800Pro 128mb < 8800GTX/ Ultra < 980ti < 1080ti … and were still waiting for something new !
I remember upgrading from a GTX 970 to a 980TI and starting witcher 3 for the first time :)
🥲 this old Beast still kicking
My guy is a god at csgo
Outperforms my 1650 ti
I have 2 980tis...
Has disappointed when I bought a single 1080ti and the 980tis outperformed it...
So I got a second 1080ti and still run them. The 980tis went to my secondary PC.
I found my EVGA 980ti neatly boxed up in my closet. I'm tempted to built an SSF PC with it. I miss those days.
Him: "Not high end anymore hehehe"
Me: "Still costs as much as one"
aged way better than my gtx 970
Out of all games I would've expected Cyberpunk to not really run fluently at 1080p at all. The fact that you can reach very playable Fps at 1080p medium settings REALLY surprised me. And being able to achieve nearly 60Fps by using FSR is incredible. Still a pretty solid 1080p card.
I remember wanting this card so bad and ended up settling for a 960ti for around $200 in 2016, good days back then in high school computer class
980ti was the first computer I built myself when it was brand new... Now I am finally switching it out for a 4070 soon. XD
It served me well.
I bought a mint 980 Ti the other day for $65 for my budget PC upgrade and I’ve never been happier; and to think I blew 100 for a base GTX 1050 back in 2020…
Now I can finally see what my 1070 performs like in new games
The moment, a tech reviewer calls your current graphics card "retro" =D
I still run my 980TI and am really happy with it, but I'm also not playing the latest AAA titles, but I feel like it is still holding up quite fine as long as you stay away from 4K as far as you can.
Ah yes, the $650 flagship from Nvidia, it was too good to be true
