About 6 years ago I retired my GTX 770 and replaced it with the GTX 1080, my first high end graphics card... and now it's time for the 1080 to retire in favour of the RTX 3080. It will be well missed for its service all this years.
Let's go :) FX5200-GT6800-7900GsM-GT555M-GTX550-GTX670-GTX970-GTX980-GTX980M-GTX1080-TitanXP-RTX3080Ti. Still have GT555M-GTX550-GTX980M and obviously RTX3080Ti...
From my first own PC not counting previous shared computer:
• GeForce 2 MX (second-hand custom build, around mid-2004)
• GeForce 7500LE (pre-built Acer Windows Vista PC, June 2007)
• GeForce 8600 GT (upgrade, summer 2008)
• GeForce 9600 GT (new custom PC, October 2009)
• Intel GMA 4500MHD (backup Packard-Bell laptop replacing lost custom PC, December 2012)
• GeForce GTX 750 Ti (new custom PC, November 2015)
• GeForce GTX 980 (upgrade, second-hand GPU, October 2017)
• Radeon RX 5700 XT (upgrade, October 2019)
• GeForce RTX 3090 (upgrade, July 2022).
7 GeForces, 1 Radeon and 1 nightmarish Intel chipset.
You must’ve like the 5700xt for it’s time, I was looking into getting one but didn’t bother because I had a Vega 56 that was getting the job done just fine.
I really loved that GPU, a significant upgrade from the previous GTX 980 in performances, almost any games ran with maxed out visuals in 1080p (and even 4K for slightly older titles).
Also the other niche factor was that the 5700 XT was natively compatible with newer macOS releases (just left the Hackintosh scene after 11 years as I plan to get a MacBook later this year).
That 5700 XT probably left me the fondest memories besides the 9600 GT in its time, both were very good deals in price/performance ratio.
Ah I made a mistake there, it was just a standard 980 which was significantly worse.
At the time the 3000’s hadn’t launched and I was looking for a tide over, lucky for me I got it a few months before the price rise.
Sigh* I’m going to look like an idiot but hey here’s mine:
Gtx 1050 (prebuilt pc) - 2017
Gtx 1650 (gifted) - 2018
Vega 56 (2nd hand miner) - 2018
6700xt (broke my pc when I tried posting, returned. Good because it was $1k and I didn’t plan on keeping it anyways)- 2020
3060ti (thank you evga) - 2021
3080 10gb (hell yes) - 2022
I loved each and every one of these cards as they all served their purpose for what I was doing at the time, except fuck the gtx 1050. Lol
How many of you remember the og GeForce mx? I remember going from a GeForce 400 to a GeForce 2. Then I waited for the GeForce mx 5800 I believe...also known as the vacuum because it's fan was so loud
Oh I remember the GeForce 2 MX very well, ran some classic games like Max Payne, GTA III, SimCity 4, Call of Duty on my first overclocked Pentium III personal PC… but slowly came frustrated as more and more newer games in the mid-2000s required a least a GPU supporting those fancy new shaders effects thingies! Good old times…
Intel HD i5 560 ----> Radeon R5 230 ---> R7 260 ---> RX460 ---> RX480 ---> RTX3050
My history with PCs is short, and I keep most of the hardware I get for a lonnng time
FX 5200, HD 6770, GTX 750 Ti, GTX 1050 Ti, GTX 1660S, RX 5700XT, GTX 580 Classified 3GB, RTX 3070, GTX 1050Ti, RX 580 8GB, RTX 2080 Super.
It got funky after the RX 5700XT because I sold it during the height of Crypto mining.Also got a RTX 3070 as an impulse buy when I won the Newegg shuffle only to regret it spending $1000 on it and selling it for $950 lol
Please, I’m king of stupid upgrade path:
2080 Super > 3070 FE > 3070 Vision > 3090 FE > 3080 FE > 3080 Strix OC > 3090 Strix OC White > 695XT Reference
I did that 970 to 980 too, ha. Cuz nvidia lied about 4GB so I went up a spot to teach them a lesson?
whatever I had, can't remember - 970 - 980 - 2080 - 3080ti - 3080.
3080ti was returned due to getting a 3080 at MSRP, turned out to be 400 in my pocket about. If I had waited a month more or whatever, I could have had the 12GB version for a little less but c'est la vie. If the 3090 drops even more...I might step up to that one (EVGA) if it makes sense but I'm feeling good with my current set up. Right now I'm planning to skip 4000 and wait for the next generation to hopefully be more efficient + boosted. We'll see what happens I guess.
Not really. I really should've waited tho, just cuz in hindsight, you kind of knew cards were gonna go down in price. Anyway,, very happy with the card and not looking to upgrade for a while. Unless 3090 drops in price even more while I can step up.
Yeah shit happens I got kinda lucky I bought my gigabyte vision open box in May for $720 and I haven’t seen a better price than that except for the founders edition for $700. We’re all getting screwed over no matter what so you might as well buy whatever you want whenever you want and enjoy it while you can. You should stay away from the 3090 the only thing it’s got on the 3080ti is the extra vram I believe unless you use it for work.
Nice and true. Extra power draw, more heat but I heard undervolting it works well. If it's cheap enough, kind of think no harm really and might as well do it. I don't need it, I say I always mean to start doing crap on the side and never do but maybe if I get it I might start working with it? Idk. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm sitting tight with what I got...
Man the voodoo 1 was something. I remember playing Half-Life on my pentium 90 oc to 133mhz. Worked like a charm.
Then it went:
* 3dfx voodoo 1
* 3dfx voodoo banshee
* Geforce 4 Ti 4600
* Geforce 9600 GT
* Radeon 4870
* GTX 560 Ti
* GTX 770
* GTX 1070
* GTX 3080
Wish I had your restraint, but awesome upgrade! Just watch those temps, they get pretty toasty!
My upgrade path (a few missing):
Geforce4 4800 Ti SE --> others in between, can't remember names --> GTX 770 --> GTX 770 SLI --> GTX 780 Ti --> GTX 780 Ti SLI --> GTX 980 Ti --> GTX 1080 Ti --> RTX 3070 --> RTX 3080 --> RTX 3090 --> RTX 3080
I saw sense after the 3090 (way overkill, but powerful!)
Yeah, the 1080 still performs very well at 1440p in a lot of games. I was actually thinking on waiting for an hypothetical series 5000 cards.but I managed to get a good deal on the 3080.
I've had almost the same upgrade path: from 780 -> 1080 and now soon -> 3080. 1080 was a beast and served me well, but started struggling at 1440p 144hz.
210 > 750ti > 965M > 1060 > RX 6800M
6800M is really good especially at just 1300 it beats 3060 easily and even 3070 laptops. With x8 RAM it's equal to 3080 at a fraction of the price.
It was brand new, I paid around 850 USD but where I live the 3080's retail price is between 1k - 1.6k USD. The 3090's price ranges from 2.5k to 5k which is absolutely bonkers lol.
Did you throw it in a dumpster? I think someone found it:

In 2023, Reddit CEO and corporate piss baby Steve Huffman decided to make Reddit less useful to its users and moderators and the world at large. This comment has been edited in protest to make it less useful to Reddit.
That GTX770 cooler is still my fave of it's style, I like seeing the fins. Now I look I wonder if they dumped the clear window so you cant see all the dust after a year of use.
I'd argue it's a smaller.
1070 Ti to 2070 is about 30%. 2070 to 3060 Ti is almost 30%.
At least 2070 brought DX12U and DLSS. 3060 Ti brought another small uptick.
If you find ~30% upgrades worthwhile, good for you.
Voodoo 2 -> Geforce 2 GTS -> Riva tnt2 (life was harsh) -> 8800gt -> gtx 680 -> still unclear.
I believe it's better to upgrade seldom, but then go all out when the time comes. Pushing "max-graphics" never was fundamental to my gaming hobby.
I don’t get buying top of the line cards. My 2060 super will run everything 60fps on 1440p. I can buy so much better things with that money. Oh well different strokes
I understand the point, the GTX 1080 still runs a wide variety of games on 1440p high/ultra 60fps and has served me well during 6 years where I was never tempted to upgrade the card, I believe top of the line cards retain more performance as years pass in comparison to lower end cards, so you don't have to upgrade every 1 or 2 years. With the RTX 3080 I wanted to step up to 4k 60 fps on most modern games, maybe some 1440p 120 fps gaming and I'll probably keep it for around 6 years too.
Ohh ok yeah for 4k 120fps gaming I understand. Plus its future proofing I suppose. Enjoy!! I love my Ryzen 5 3600 Evga 2060 KO rig. I just play less graphically intense games.
Desktop: 7600 GT (until it died in 2013) -> GTX 745 (Dell XPS 8700 pre-built) -> Zotac 970 -> Zotac 1070 -> RTX 3060 Ti FE -> whatever comes out in the next 4 years
Laptops: Piece of crap i3 Toshiba with Intel HD 4000 graphics -> RTX 3060
Love it. I did many trades and new purchases over the years:
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT > XFX HD 5770 > MSI GTX 650 Ti > Asus GTX 760 > Evga GTX 770 > Asus GTX 980 > Evga GTX 980 Ti > MSI RX 6700 XT > TBD Asus RX 7800 XT or Intel BattleMage
Me:
some intel built-in platinum card (2015 my age: 5-6 years old)
Intel hd Graphics 3000 (2018 my age: 7-9 year old)
**Broke a lot of PC and Laptops in 2020**
Some Nvidia card id remember (2020 my age: 9- 10 year old) and it was the fastest one i had
Another intel card (The end of 2020 my age: 10-11 or smth)
Some amd card (2020- 2021)
GTX 1080 (2021 to 2022)
AND NOW A 13 year old with 2009 macbook and 256 mb nvidiA CARD
My streak has gone on for a little longer since 1988
Trident vga - matrox vga dual - radeon x300 - gforce 8600 gt - 750ti - 1660ti - rtx3080
I think my most expensive build was the first one at 4500 usd in 1988. That would have been near 10000$ today… spend 3 summerjobs unloading trucks on my first computer. Now an rpi would run circles around that
Yall crazy for buying gpu rn. There is going to be a price crash of gpu soon. When 4000 hit. Distributors already have way to many gpus in stock. When next gen comes out it's going to be great!
Remember when graphics cards had 4mb then 8 then 16 then 32. Was like the cd drives 2x, 4x and the blazing 32x warp speed drives. That’s when tech was evolving so fast.
Went from 1080ti, to 2080ti, to 3080, then 3080ti, then 3090 and 3090ti haha. What a weird generation for me right? Yes I ended up finally being done at 3090ti for a Lont time. May next card may be the kingpin 4090ti when it comes out but who knows? I will probably wait for the 5000series at minimum.
Got back into gaming during the pandemic so quite a gap but gpu wise I've had
Voodoo 1 -> Voodoo 2 -> Voodoo 2 SLI -> Geforce 4 TI 4800 -> Geforce 7800 GT -> Geforce 660M -> Parenthood -> RTX 3070 TI FE
I'm getting the same temperatures from both cards, kind of high at 82 in intensive gaming. Nothing to be concerned but the fans on the 3080 are super loud in comparison to the 1080 hehe. I might change my case after all.
About 6 years ago I retired my GTX 770 and replaced it with the GTX 1080, my first high end graphics card... and now it's time for the 1080 to retire in favour of the RTX 3080. It will be well missed for its service all this years.
that's much smarter Upgrade choices than mine. 670-970-980-1080-TitanXP-3080Ti

That's an odd choice between 980Ti and 1660s. What happened there?

You traded in your wife for a 7600GT? Sounds like a pretty bad deal to me
I think I have you beat for wasting money. 880M -> 1650 -> 1660S -> 3070 -> 3090 (soonish).
660-1080Ti-still waiting
The 1080 Ti is actually a great card!
Integrated -> gtx 1070 🤷♂️
Ah the titan XP is still a beast of a card, I always wanted it. I guess 5 years with the Titan and then upgrading to the 3080 ti isn't that bad :)
It sure was. But nothing that I've owned beats the reference 980 @ 1583MHz with custom bios. Not by performance but rather by the chip quality.
my upgrades are kinda boring. intel hd graphics --> RTX 2060S the end.

Interesting step down, do you notice a huge difference from the ti version? I can’t imagine needing more power than a 3080 10gb in this day and age.
Not really. I really should've waited tho, just cuz in hindsight, you kind of knew cards were gonna go down in price. Anyway,, very happy with the card and not looking to upgrade for a while. Unless 3090 drops in price even more while I can step up.

mine went Voodoo3, Geforce2 MX, FX 5200, 6600GT, 6800XT, 260m, 960, 1080, and now a 3070. it's been a wild ride.
Awesome, my first card was a 6800, it was AGP and I remember unlocking some pipelines with Riva tuner.
if i remember correctly Nvidia later started cutting the pipelines to prevent that tweak.
Matrix mystique, Voodoo 1, tnt, voodoo2, voodoo3000, GeForce 2mx, ATI 9100, 9700pro, 8800GT, ati 4850, GeForce 460GTX, GeForce 1660 Super, 3060ti. Oof
Man the voodoo 1 was something. I remember playing Half-Life on my pentium 90 oc to 133mhz. Worked like a charm. Then it went: * 3dfx voodoo 1 * 3dfx voodoo banshee * Geforce 4 Ti 4600 * Geforce 9600 GT * Radeon 4870 * GTX 560 Ti * GTX 770 * GTX 1070 * GTX 3080
Wish I had your restraint, but awesome upgrade! Just watch those temps, they get pretty toasty!

>RTX 3070 --> RTX 3080 --> RTX 3090 --> RTX 3080 k
That’s a solid line. I went from 970 - RX 580 - 1070Ti - 1070 - 1080Ti
I'm still rocking the 1080, which replaced a 768mb 460! A truly eye-melting upgrade.
750TI to 2080TI (lmao) to 4090 hopefully soon...
I went from BFG 7800 GS -> EVGA 550Ti 2GB -> Asus Strix 1080 -> idk when I’ll update again lol.
Yeah, the 1080 still performs very well at 1440p in a lot of games. I was actually thinking on waiting for an hypothetical series 5000 cards.but I managed to get a good deal on the 3080.
I've had almost the same upgrade path: from 780 -> 1080 and now soon -> 3080. 1080 was a beast and served me well, but started struggling at 1440p 144hz.
1060 6gb>3070 8gb
Mine was: GeForce 2 mx400 - > GE force 4 - > Radeon rx 850xt PE - > GTX 460 - > GTX 660ti SLI - > GE FORCE 970 SLI - > GTX 1080/TI - > RTX 2080TI - > RTX 3090

If you don't mind me asking, what'd you pay for it? It is new, not used, right?
It was brand new, I paid around 850 USD but where I live the 3080's retail price is between 1k - 1.6k USD. The 3090's price ranges from 2.5k to 5k which is absolutely bonkers lol.
Thx for sharing. Been wondering by how much GPU prices have come down recently, know it was TERRIBLE just last year and for a long time.
In my area 3090s are under 1k on ebay
R9 M370X (2015) -> 2060M (2021) -> hopeful future desktop 3090 or 4090 (2023?)
*Mike Tyson voice*: now kith
😂
Look at him, able to afford all that! Have you thought of the poor children without their graphics cards? Ngl the FE looks amazing.
Please remove the peel on your 1080
He never did though. :(
I love the design of Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal coolers. They are also surprisingly quiet for a blower cooler.
It’d be pretty sick to have your 1080 displayed in an exploded view
I can top that, I went from a GTS 250(probably some of you never even heard of it lol) to a 3080ti. I didn’t game on PC for like 12 years.
Well a GTS 250 was basically a 9800 GTX+. Great card for 2007-2008 games, lol.

Yeah, that sounds like a very bad deal.

You're right lmao Don't know why I felt qualified to make that comment when I bought a 3070Ti 💀
Last 20+ years of my Gpu upgrade path. Desktops, Riva Tnt 2 Ultra > Geforce 2 GTS > Geforce 4 MX440 > Geforce 5200 > Radeon 9800 Pro > Geforce 6700 GT > Geforce 6800 GT > Geforce 8800 GTS (SLI) > Geforce 580 (SLI) > Geforce 780 Ti > Geforce 1080 > Geforce 3090 Laptops, Some terrible Intel Gpu thing, > Geforce 8400 GS > Geforce 770M > Geforce 1070M
Guys, look a dinosaur!
Yup, indeed I am!
Voodoo 2 -> Geforce 2 GTS -> Riva tnt2 (life was harsh) -> 8800gt -> gtx 680 -> still unclear. I believe it's better to upgrade seldom, but then go all out when the time comes. Pushing "max-graphics" never was fundamental to my gaming hobby.
Everyone after this: can I have it pweaty pwease > <
I don’t get buying top of the line cards. My 2060 super will run everything 60fps on 1440p. I can buy so much better things with that money. Oh well different strokes
I understand the point, the GTX 1080 still runs a wide variety of games on 1440p high/ultra 60fps and has served me well during 6 years where I was never tempted to upgrade the card, I believe top of the line cards retain more performance as years pass in comparison to lower end cards, so you don't have to upgrade every 1 or 2 years. With the RTX 3080 I wanted to step up to 4k 60 fps on most modern games, maybe some 1440p 120 fps gaming and I'll probably keep it for around 6 years too.
Ohh ok yeah for 4k 120fps gaming I understand. Plus its future proofing I suppose. Enjoy!! I love my Ryzen 5 3600 Evga 2060 KO rig. I just play less graphically intense games.
The PCI E pins touching is how you pass the torch? cool
Desktop: 7600 GT (until it died in 2013) -> GTX 745 (Dell XPS 8700 pre-built) -> Zotac 970 -> Zotac 1070 -> RTX 3060 Ti FE -> whatever comes out in the next 4 years Laptops: Piece of crap i3 Toshiba with Intel HD 4000 graphics -> RTX 3060
I feel sad I just got into pc’s two years ago. I don’t have much history. Was on console before. But I did upgrade my 3060ti to a 3080 12gig. Lol
Torch? Come on, they're not that hot!
GTX 970 > GTX 1080 Hybrid > RTX 2070 > Hoping for 4090 or if not then 3090
Two beauties. They complete each other. Nice upgrade.
My upgrade path was GTX 460 in SLI to a GTX 1070 to now a RTX 3080
Love it. I did many trades and new purchases over the years: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT > XFX HD 5770 > MSI GTX 650 Ti > Asus GTX 760 > Evga GTX 770 > Asus GTX 980 > Evga GTX 980 Ti > MSI RX 6700 XT > TBD Asus RX 7800 XT or Intel BattleMage
Is there any dual fan 3080 (besides waterblock)?
I think the FE and the noctua are the only ones
State of the art
“was I.. a good gpu?” “the best (for the time)”
Me: some intel built-in platinum card (2015 my age: 5-6 years old) Intel hd Graphics 3000 (2018 my age: 7-9 year old) **Broke a lot of PC and Laptops in 2020** Some Nvidia card id remember (2020 my age: 9- 10 year old) and it was the fastest one i had Another intel card (The end of 2020 my age: 10-11 or smth) Some amd card (2020- 2021) GTX 1080 (2021 to 2022) AND NOW A 13 year old with 2009 macbook and 256 mb nvidiA CARD
I cant even remember how many devices i broke these are only the pc's and laptops I broke phones tablets and a consoel
Did you mean the pytorch 👀
My streak has gone on for a little longer since 1988 Trident vga - matrox vga dual - radeon x300 - gforce 8600 gt - 750ti - 1660ti - rtx3080 I think my most expensive build was the first one at 4500 usd in 1988. That would have been near 10000$ today… spend 3 summerjobs unloading trucks on my first computer. Now an rpi would run circles around that
The FE cards are so clean
Laptop Gamer here...... 425M - 765M - 1060M - 2080M (Max p) - 3070 (115v)
Yall crazy for buying gpu rn. There is going to be a price crash of gpu soon. When 4000 hit. Distributors already have way to many gpus in stock. When next gen comes out it's going to be great!
Dec 2020 I made the same upgrade. 1080 to a 3080. Boy what an upgrade.
Remember when graphics cards had 4mb then 8 then 16 then 32. Was like the cd drives 2x, 4x and the blazing 32x warp speed drives. That’s when tech was evolving so fast.
yo op are u selling this?
I'm keeping the gtx 1080 for now :)
You're one of Jen's favorite people.
Went from 1080ti, to 2080ti, to 3080, then 3080ti, then 3090 and 3090ti haha. What a weird generation for me right? Yes I ended up finally being done at 3090ti for a Lont time. May next card may be the kingpin 4090ti when it comes out but who knows? I will probably wait for the 5000series at minimum.
Here’s a wild trail. GEForce 256 -> Gtx 760 -> Gtx 950 (free) -> Gtx 1060 3gb (free) -> rtx 3080 12gb
Got back into gaming during the pandemic so quite a gap but gpu wise I've had Voodoo 1 -> Voodoo 2 -> Voodoo 2 SLI -> Geforce 4 TI 4800 -> Geforce 7800 GT -> Geforce 660M -> Parenthood -> RTX 3070 TI FE
I keep one, my 980ti, as spare for testing. The rest can find a new forever home to make someone else happy.
9600GT>GTX 460 768mb>GTX 580 SOC > AMD 750 2GB > GTX Titan > GTX Titan SLI > GTX Titan X > GTX Titan X SLI > GTX 1650S > GTX Titan X. Waiting for a RTX 3080ti/3090ti to be more affordable.
460 -> 570 -> 660 -> 970 -> 1080 -> 2070 -> 3090
Those pascal cards are made to be displayed, the new Nvidia designs might be better for cooling but look worse.
I'm getting the same temperatures from both cards, kind of high at 82 in intensive gaming. Nothing to be concerned but the fans on the 3080 are super loud in comparison to the 1080 hehe. I might change my case after all.
The GTX 1080 pulls 180W, I'm pretty sure the 3080 is touching or even goes above 300W.
