Sorry for off topic, but I just had a little panic.
Am I old?
Haha you should've seen the look of pity my brother in law gave me when I told him my PC's specs. I thought a 10-series was still a respectable card to have.! Oh well, I got a hand me down 3090 out of it, so can't complain
10 series still hold up fairly well for a ton of things, and the 1080ti is good enough to still be relevant for even new games with fancy graphics.
Yeah i have no complaints with my old og build 1080ti and 4790k. I typically play 1440p 144hz and do have to drop the graphics a bit on some newer titles to keep my frames up in the 120-140 range, but otherwise i can crank them.
I built it so i could process the hair in Witcher 3
Oh no, my first GPU is 23 years old now ...
I found my Riva TNT 1 in the attic the other day.
I am pretty sure I had a Riva 128 before that one, though.
Fortunately you go through this enough times and you just start to accept that yeah, you're pretty old. The constant joint pain helps.
How do you think I feel still rocking my GTX 770.....
I use a laptop now, but my old rig that I use occasionally has a GT640 lol.
Honestly been impressed with this card. Started making a buzzing noise after mining doge coins but that was many years ago and it still buzzes away. I can't play modern AAA games on max but I can keep up with many good games and indie titles.
