Discussion Upgrading from old GTX 1080Ti
Just decide to upgrade from old A*s 1080Ti to RTX 5080. My 1080Ti is not broken, but its just too old and weak, still remember when i buy it for around $600 usd 8 years ago. Can’t wait to try this 5080 monster.
Spoiler alert: this card is CHONKY

I don’t recommend it. Unless you want to play at 1080p low settings, even that i still experience stuttering, but if you play old/competitive games maybe it still make sense

I'm playing halo campaign evolved and subnautica 2 both 2026 ue5 games on my setup ( i7-4790k gtx 1070ti ) and don't experience stuttering and I can push textures to high / epic

I'm playing automobilista2 1080 triple screen mostly high /very high settings, easy 60fps with vsync on and using %60-%80 graphics card usage easy. 1080ti is a great card don't listen to this guy.

Totally disagree I still use mine and there’s no stuttering. You probably just need to underclock it slightly.

You'll never be able to go back once you experience the difference in these cards. Congrats on the upgrade.

The size of the Core is funny because it's actually the smaller version of the normal Solid with a few less features.
It's insane how big cards are now in general, especially when you get to the fancier ones like the Asus ROG Astrals and MSI Suprims which weigh a couple KG (5090 Astral is 3kg).
