I’m building a computer and found a 1080ti asus strix on Craigslist he listed it for 500$ but I talked him down to 150$ So I’m wondering if it’s worth buying a 1080 ti for 150$ in 2022
Cpu is a 5600x
No not really, I mean there might be a game or 2 that might have issues if they stop supporting it and its usually them cards thats so old anyway that could hardly run it, but 1080ti will still have support for a long time, Nvidia ended driver support for the Kepler stuff because their drivers were getting massive, I got a family member that still has a 780ti and it still plays games, some of them newer that its capable of anyway. The 1080ti is still vary capable and Nvidia would criple driver support for it anytime soon as there are still many people running Pascal cards.Is a Gpu pretty much useless for new games after it stops getting driver support?
I think the 1080 TI is closer to a 2070 Super if I'm remembering the benchmarks correctly. Somewhere between a 2070/3060 and 2070 super. If that is true that would be like 25-30% difference in performance from a 3060 TIIf it actually works and you have an appropriate PSU, it's about as powerful as a 3060 Ti, though it will stop getting driver support before the 3060 Ti does.
Where I live a lot of people lowball so people up the price to compensate for that. Wouldn’t the 5700xt be better for future proofing because it has newer architecture?
Without getting into much detail.. Personally I would say "yes". But it all depends what you want to use it for.I’m building a computer and found a 1080ti asus strix on Craigslist he listed it for 500$ but I talked him down to 150$ So I’m wondering if it’s worth buying a 1080 ti for 150$ in 2022

Thanks. I have one more thing. the owner of the 5700xt says it’s about 1 year old and the 1080ti owner says it’s about 4 year’s old Is this a concern?
Im thinking the 5700xt will surpass it in a year or two. 7970 just got a driver update, gg AMDThe 5700xt did get a good performance bump in dx 11 titles recently with drivers, but the 1080ti is still faster, the 5700xt could match the 1080ti if not gain a little ground with overclocking but thats luck of the draw really, the 5700xt was around a 1080 non ti performance when it was new, I'd definitely get the 1080ti, more vram, its faster out of the box. I love AMD, but Nvidia's capture software is much better than AMD's crap if thats your thing, AMD's works good, but you can't play in a window and have it record the last few min of gameplay, it only works in fullscreen, or the audio capture issues, you pretty much always have to use other recording software.
Good Luck!
