I'm still rocking my 380

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I recently upgraded from a 1080ti to a 7800XT. Sold the 1080ti on ebay, so hopefully it will continue on with a new life.

My 1080TI is still running fine

My original cpu I installed in high-school, well...

I have one of these I ended up never using because I didn't realize my power supply wouldn't handle it. By the time I decided to build a whole new PC, I ended up having enough saved up to get an RTX 3080. Video cards were super hard to find at the time so I decided to hold on to the 1080 in case of emergency. Do graphics cards matter much in something like a dedicated Minecraft or 7 Days to Die server? If so, I might build one with it.

My 1050ti is still working nicely for everything I play, but I would like some rendering speed improvements in blender so maybe I'll upgrade in some years

I just ordered parts for my first build since 2011. I've had my Sandybridge i5 at 4.5ghz most of this time... until the fans died and it overheated, replaced the fans and it was fine, brought it to 5ghz somehow so it could live out its last days in glory, it's been two years. That'll do pig, that'll do.

I will never give up my rx480

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I knew a guy at NVidia and got a screaming deal on a 980ti hybrid. Just replaced it with a used 2070 this year.

I mean, I dont often play games, but my 2016 laptop handles them (not very well). It has an i5 cpu and a radeon r7 m440 gpu (that has no updates since 2years ago) and I can somewhat play fortnite (its probably the most demanding game ny laptop can play, pubg runs at like 10fps).

I would think a pc with a 1080 can probably play games kinda well.

980TI still going strong! I don't play anything too demanding anyway and Ive taken real good care of it so fingers crossed it'll keep going till I can afford a new rig!

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I also have a 980TI. I think mine might be dying though, sometimes my PC shuts off and sometimes it doesn't start up. One particular time I got it started again by removing my GPU. I just want it to last another year but we'll see.

[–] deczzz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Me just now. Just got 7800 xt after all these great years.

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ha! Just ordered a few new components yesterday! So long, beloved 1080, you were da real MVP o/

I was running a 750ti until a few months ago.

Finally had to bid it adieu this year. Probably should have years ago, to be honest.

[–] rckclmbr@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What did you upgrade to? How are you liking it?

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I'm running a Radeon 6600 now. It does well enough, but my needs are modest.

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Only reason I recently moved from that very card was to play with stable diffusion, otherwise yeah the 'need' to boost things for games and whatnot just isn't there. Might be just that I''ve never been a major twitch type gamer though, more Civ/StarCraft style.

Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them

You don't need more for d2r and it's the newest game anyone needs to be playing.

[–] UsedChicken@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

My 980 still plays anything I want fine
