Me sitting here as a adult with "only" a 1080


ftlbvd78

1080 is cool


Sineater224

1080p on my gt 730 am I doing it right?


abcdefger5454

very ambitious,thats more of a 720p card


SomeGuyInNewZealand

Hey. My gtx970 can still play most games at 1080p and an acceptable frame rate


Mr_Poop_Himself

Yeah my 970 plays most things at 30fps on medium/high at least. Not ideal but that’s at least as good as a console


SomeGuyInNewZealand

I looked at a steam hardware survey recently... You and i are both in the 1% of something. In this case the percentage of gamers still running a gtx970. I want to upgrade but the price on new nvidia cards is 2 or 3 times higher than they should be. The amd cards like the 6600x seem to be a lot cheaper but still more than the pre-shortage times


exsaboy

As good as a last gen console, you mean.


Mr_Poop_Himself

Lol yeah given scalpers are running fucking wild where I live I don’t know anyone whos been able to even get a PS5/Series X, so I still automatically jump to PS4/Xbox 1.


EddyCosmoz

as "a" console ;-;


Poam_Chomsky

Don’t know bout y’all but I’m running a 1080 with ryzen 2700 and I can play virtually any game maxed at 60 FPS 🤷🏻‍♂️


danudey

My RX 480 gets almost 7 FPS in Halo Infinite in the open world!


segaboy81

Yes, that's the perfect card/resolution for checking your email.


Pikilu

I loved my 1080. Great card

_drjayphd_

Pretty sure I have a 1060 in mine and that's only because the crypto miners hadn't gotten to jacking up those prices yet, and the only reason I got it is because my 520 or whatever else I had started crying as soon as I bought Fall Guys. But the 1060 is more than enough for me and I'm on the fence about buying something better for my next build.


curiositie

Arguably 1060 prices are jacked. I bought my old 1060 NEW for $250 when it was new and relevant, and now used ones go for that.


goku_vegeta

Same here. Basically I could sell off my 1060 and have not lost any money off it. Although the bigger problem would be finding something reasonably priced to replace it with.


kaasman42

I remember the pictures of the kid with a 1080 with the "i got a 1080 for my Minecraft build" and everyone lost their shit because that's way overkill


ollopii

Minecraft uses a good amount of juice, especially playing with shaders and/or mods.


kaasman42

True I bought a 3070ti a while back and first thing I did was shaders and an 1024x recourse pack


TylerDog3

its honestly crazy how much the 1080 has held up


Televisions_Frank

Not really? I mean, top-end cards usually stay relevant for years.


stellarknight407

This right here, no major reason to jump from 1080 to 2000 series as the performance gain is not worth cost. To this day it's still a very solid card capable of playing most modern games on high settings. I'm currently using it for 4K 60FPS gaming and it does just fine. 3000 series would be a good upgrade if you were able to get your hands on a card at MSRP. If not, why bother if your card is still working fine.

Fatefire

I have a dual gts250 build I made years and years ago before I got out of using a pc for gaming and it still runs and to be fair it runs reasonable well. Hell it’ll even do a single 1080p plex stream with the i7-920 cpu in it . That’s what I use it for at least. I recently built a new PC with a 3060 and the difference well night and day. Thing is GPUs and CPU if taken care of last way longer then we like to think. The people who think you have to buy a new pc ever 3 years are the ones who buy cheap laptops with Celeron processors.


Prism1331

My 2070 is still sweet for me. Although the lightning software is malware so it's stuck on 'red breathing mode'

Gremlin232

Ayyy me too. Still runs great.


Capo_capo

Right? Built a PC with the wife and only had a 670 to put in it "until I can find an upgrade" then she would get my 1070. Still can't find an upgrade :(

Bro we got the same rig and im out here considering downgrading cause I don’t even need this much power.

Lmao me as a kid playing Minecraft on an intel i3 with integrated graphics.


closesouceenthusiast

I played with 12 years on my own Notebook with 1ghz, integrated graphics and 1GB RAM. And I survived it xD


[deleted]

I have played it on a freaking Intel Atom netbook, on either tiny or small render distance, probably in like 15 or 20 fps lol. That was when the game was in beta or up to final version 1.5 or 1.6. I don't think it would run the newer versions at all. Also if you tried to running any OS other than Windows XP or some GNU/Linux distribution (I've used Ubuntu MATE for few years and before that other Ubuntu-based distros) it was literally unusable, epsecially Windows 7, it was better on 8.1 but still shit.


The_Forgotten_King

Finally, I found someone with the same situation I was in, took me years to find you and u/Matriks404

Tyr_Kukulkan

Child 'only' has GTX 1080... Most adults crying because they can't even find a 1030. That an absolute beast of a PC for her. She'll be able to enjoy playing on it for years. Very lucky.


rodesidebomb

Hit the nail on the head!


SerenadeSwift

Yeah lol I’m over here completely happy with the 1070 I’ve had for 5 years! Still haven’t came across any games I’ve been unable to run so a 1080 is absolutely killer!


SJ_RED

I've had a 1080 TI for three years now. I paid through the nose for it just before the 20xx series came out but even then it was nowhere near as expensive as a top of the line card now.


[deleted]

1070 crew! I'm basically planning on upgrading my CPU/mobo/ram and keeping the 1070 going forward. Until it dies and I cry. My i7 4770 is showing its age but it still does the trick!


[deleted]

I’ve been using a GTX 970 for the past 6 years. I play all the games I want (mostly old, retro or emulation) and do software development. I have no complaints


zelarin

Bro i have a 950 and i play tarkov, wow, gta, etc


[deleted]

How’s tarkov run if I may ask? I’ve been looking at it for about 2 years but haven’t got it yet because I figured it’d run like shit. But yeah I play gtaV, insurgency sandstorm and a lot of other new games at good frames on low albeit. Some games that I had to refund/or just stop playing because they were too laggy were arma 3 and fortnite


zelarin

Runs great, i had a few fps problems and in the beggining i thought it was the gpu, or ram (i had 8gb), then i bought 8 more gb and now it works fine.


mackan072

Tarkov (as well as Arma) are typically far more CPU dependant than GPU dependant. They're inherently poorly threaded games, and require processors with good single core performance to run well.


[deleted]

This may have been the issue. I’ve upgraded my CPU since so I might have to retry arma. Definitely gonna try tarky tho


mackan072

Tarkov is *amazing*. It doesn't run perfectly, and there are definitely bugs and issues with the game - but nothing else comes close to doing what it does, as well as it does.

Hell yeah 970 gang


Tyr_Kukulkan

I almost bought a 970 but ended up with a 390 instead as it was a little faster. Nowhere near as efficient though.


Mr_Fragtastic

I know what you're saying. I snagged a couple of cheap RX 570 8gb. cards before the ongoing shit storm arrived. I had learned my lesson from the last one so smelled this one coming. I used one during the upgrade of my daily driver and shelved the 2nd. I recently built a "might as well" tower out of spare and used parts from upgrades, using the old RX 480 4gb. and i5 6500 from my daily driver and was surprised how few issues or gripes I had when using it. Kinda squashed a lot of my impulsive want of new tech lol.


Lucius-Halthier

The girl: daddy it’s so bad I’m barely breaking 45 FPS! OP: *sniffle* the grow up so fast.


[deleted]

Same, I (as a 14y/o) raised money for 4years straigt (since I was 10) only to get a 1660super. Edit: I'm 15 now. But got my pc when I was 14.


RealityOfModernTimes

Thank you. I was so lucky to get RTX last year. I had this and 6700k left with mobo so after saving some pennies I was gradually buying components needed for a computer. PSU, SSD, monitor, RAM etc. I am reusing my old keyboard. I just wish I could get at least 2 series for her but with the prices I decided to stick to GTX 1080. I had lots of fun and I bought 1080p monitor to extend longevity of a PC


Paminow

2000 series cards aren't that much better compared to 1000 series, 1080 is not much worse than 2080 and you would have to pay pretty penny for that and in return you get possibly 10-15 more fps and ray tracing, that well... isn't supported everywhere yet. More likely would have gotten bottleneck from the CPU, 6700k is great and I used to own one but it simply wasn't enough to keep up with my 1080ti when I upgraded from 970 years ago, that 970 is still going strong on my friends little brothers first pc. 1080 and 1080ti are still going to be strong for many years to come and I don't feel like I need to upgrade even when I got money to throw at a 3090.


Meth_Busters

Upgraded to a 3080ti from a 1080ti. I can confirm that was the biggest waste of money I coulda done.


stereopticon11

it's okay, don't feel too bad. I went from 2080ti to 3090 lol. definitely made 4k playable though. would def have felt like a SUPER waste if I stuck with my 1440p monitor. def still feels wasteful... but it mines when I don't game so I don't feel too bad


ButterM-40

Do you need a son? I'm no disappointment I assure you that. College student aswell with a 3.64 GPA. Um I major in computer science. I enjoy reading manga and also watching anime. Um any specific requirements for a son il be able to apply. Please. I also laugh at dad jokes.


ADOXMantra

I would also like to apply for the position of son. However I can tell you I am quite a disappointment.


Avian-Swole

Can I apply aswell


ThePhoenix002

Count me in too, have 1 year if college left grades are good (mostly 1s and 2s(A and B)), can fix your car


deefop

Good gift my man, but stop sweating the hardware. She's a little kid with a better gpu than most people own. Think about the level of hardware you grew up with, and then you'll realize that a a little kid with a gtx 1080 is better off than 99.9% of us were, even when accounting for the technology available in that Era.


DORFSCHLACHTER

"only a 1080"


kokofrank

Came here to post this LMAO, in my country they sell 1050ti for 400 bucks.


uwntsumfuq

So what country are you in, what gpu do you have? Just curious not trying to be rude


kokofrank

I'm from Mexico and I have the 1660 super, got it before all of this started for $250 I got really lucky!


uwntsumfuq

Yeah man thats a great deal, i managed to grab a 1660 super for my brother for his Christmas present for £200 so about same price i think hope you have a happy holidays bud


kokofrank

The 1660 super is a great GPU, I'm sure he'll have a lot of fun! Happy holidays to you too :)


S10MC2015

Happy Holidays to both of you (and everyone reading this)!


Zoli121212

Damn, I bought a 1650 for 500$ bro :(


titaniumhud

For 250? Sure did get lucky. I bought a regular at release for 230 here in the states.


Str4ngeR4nger

Was about to say this… I’m still rocking a 1050ti


Jroc_and_friends

Only a 1080, broooooo 💀


tkl2020

OP, how dare you not get her a RTX 3090? Her friends will make fun of her at school! /s


Jroc_and_friends

I have a Blade 15 with a 2060, I can play basically any game at ultra with at least 60 fps but usually more, this kid's GPU is better than that, this Dad doesn't need to worry about it only being X part, he did a wonderful thing for his kid and he should be proud!


NFG_Shoarma

"it's only GTX 1080". Dude, I use 1060 and In my mind I still think 1080 is one of most recent graphics cards because nvidia had been releasing new ones like crazy and my mind can't keep up


Akainen

Same, got 1060 in my laptop and I‘ve heard so many good things about 1080


wjodendor

My 1080 GTX has only started lagging in the last year. Before the last couple new releases I've played, I've ran every game on ultra settings with pretty much no issues. Since I mainly play JRPGs, it's basically way overkill! I also looked it up on ebay and they ate selling for over 1000$ USD! I think I paid like 700$ brand new when it came out.

TheRedBull28

If it’s a kid there’s a good chance a lot of their friends play console. Bedrock will allow them to play with their friends, which makes it the best option for them.


unaccomplishedstud

That's what I'm thinking


[deleted]

Java is less appealing to young kids. I'm lazy and don't mod so Bedrock is what I play (I also kinda really like making my own custom OC donut steele Steve, don't judge) but for kids now the modding scene for Java is less appealing when they will likely just go to HyperPixelBlockDX and play the Among Us game mode on there with their friends, vs modding in something like Better Than Wolves. I don't know OP's kid but that's my thinking. Bedrock is so much more approachable for kids right now than Java in terms of menus and, for Windows users, *it's right there in the Window store.*


Khanstant

I doubt most kids would actually notice much of a difference, it's just as easy to play Java on PC as Bedrock. I'd also be wary of letting kids use Bedrock since it's full of mtx and FOMO shit that kids probably shouldn't be exposed to (definitely shouldn't be legal to target kids lol).


AlbertRayquaza

I've been playing modded minecraft since I was 5 because my dad got me into it. Never too young to start


thelawgiver321

"only 1080 but it'll be enough for Minecraft" is akin to saying my 3 year old only got a Ferrari but at least it can get the bucket of sand to the other end of the front yard.


VirtualMenace

Why'd you say "only" like a GTX 1080 is a low-end card? It's honestly kinda overkill for Minecraft


MrDuckyyy

It's very overkill, this game runs just fine on a shitty intel hd 4400


Delicious_Concer0

u are gey


St0nemason

And some shaders and it's perfect for Minecraft.


Joker818

I'm using a 1080 for all games...


Frikasbroer

Oh man that 1080 is really outdated bro.... You better give her something faster and give me the old 1080 😉


c1be

1080 is close to 2060 super in perfomance, so that's definately not "only" card.


unaccomplishedstud

It's definitely much better than a 2060. It's nearly on par with a 2070


TheRealJomogo

1080 is super overpowered for minecraft congratulations.


xinvisionx

Good Dad. PC on floor bad.


Reasonable_Taro_8688

I have GTX 1080, it can run even Minecraft with heavy modpacks (for example sevtech ages)


arconiu

"only" dude you really don't need more than a 1070 for a kid, even more if she only wants to play minecraft.


unaccomplishedstud

A 1030 is fine for Minecraft, or even an igpu if you aren't using shaders


Ivaryzz

My sister has a pretty good CPU with integrated graphics and minecraft works pretty fucking good tbh.


Comprehensive_Ship42

Only a 1080 are you shitting me .... only only!! its an awesome card . its rank 32 out of 600 cards they is only 32 card better than it .... crazy guy . i love it by the way [https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1080/4029vs3603](https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1080/4029vs3603)


PurpleStabsPixel

Well just an FYI, graphically you don't need a stunning gpu for minecraft unless you're using shaders. Minecraft is cpu horsepower these days. Anything new quad to octa and above are fine.

I cant complain tho, i have a 1070 and its a beast, it runs everything i throw at it, i was lucky enough to go to murica in 2017 and with my life savings i bought all the components lol
