More than 3 years on...and the 1080ti is still beasting it...

I can still see the logic for going for the 1080ti. How much was the 1080ti selling for? Was it 375 or 400? 2070S is is like £550 or if you're lucky £510?

A GPU at the end of the day to some is just a disposable PC component which you're probably going to replace in a couple of years.

The £150 you save, you can pump into games, RAM, an SSD etc.

Bit of perspective needed here I think.

I paid £375 for arguably the best version of the card with a phanteks waterblock. The card was bought new in January 2018 from OCUK.

Others have sold for £400 and £440 I think.

Let's not lump everyone into the "Ebay morons" bracket here because I'd argue it's equally moronic to spend upwards of a grand on what is effectively the 1080ti replacement. It's not twice the card, therefore not worth twice the price in my opinion.

Don't also forget the current demand and the current slowdown in manufacturing and shipping of new tech. You've also got to factor in the complete lack of competition at the high end allowing NVidia to basically price their cards at whatever they want. How much is the 3080ti and 4080ti going to cost?

This. The 3080ti and 4080ti i expect will be eye wateringly expensive
 
It is a tough time to be buying a new GPU with the new AMD and Nvidia offerings looming. Personally if I was buying new I would just get a 5700XT for the time being, as there are still some decent deals around and it is almost 1080ti speeds for £350+ with warranty. The 2070S is just poor value at the moment, and don't get me starting on the 2080ti or 2080S.

I was lucky enough to be able to buy a 1080ti for £570 in October 2018. Hopefully I will be able to extract a few more months out of it and sell it for £200 or so in a few months time.

Finally, somebody with a realistic idea as to what an old tech out of warranty GPU is actually worth! - I'll be scouring the MM for it. :D

Ha, actually, it still has warranty (until Oct 2021) but I imagine that it will lose some value when the new cards are released.

Why does everyone think 1080Tis are out of warranty? Mine still has a year left.
Using the 10 year step up program they would still have many years of warrantly left

No, at launch the 1080Ti was something like £700 then quickly went up due to bitcoin mining to over £1000.
An overlocked 1080Ti hit's ~10k score in Timespy with a 2070S managing around 10k also
GPUs need replacing every 3 years (that's me anyway) but RAM, SSD, CPU, Motherboard a lot less. I've had my motherboard, cpu and ram for 5 years now and there bought second hand. Advances in GPU tech is much quicker than the rest and offers higher fps and/or gpu features

I meant how much is the 1080TI selling for now on the members market.
 
Sold my titan xp (basically a ti) over a year ago for just over £400, mad to think they're somehow still keeping that price a year later.

because they are - they came out in march 2017

some have 2 years warranty and they normally aren't transferable.

therefore no warranty. very few have warranties and even if they did it would be weeks at best.

Yea, but that would represent less than 1% of 1080Ti's being sold right now, not even worth mentioning. How many 1080Ti's have you seen sold in members market with 7 years transferable warranty? The reality most will have little to none.
 
My evga 1080 ti ftw has about 15 months warranty left of 3 years. Not everyone jumped on the rtx band wagon when they came out 2 years ago.
 
Quite happy with my MSI 1080ti Gaming. Still more than keeping up with current games. Doom Eternal plays very nicely at highest preset on my Quad HD 144Hz monitor. G-sync helps I suppose but most of the time it's running at 144FPS or very close. Still another year at least in it I suspect. Even then all I suspect that I'd need to do, is turn the graphics down a notch. Best Graphics card that I've ever bought. It's certainly lasted longer than any other in the last 20 years or so. Happy days.
 
Yeah the 5700 XT is roughly 90% same performance for the price of a 1080 Ti 3 years ago.. soo err, we've made no progress in 3 years in the GPU world. Crypto is partly to blame, prices went bonkers and haven't returned. Not sure what else happened.. cov19 woop. I don't think that's going to be a good thing for prices..
