1080ti Memes

The GPU enthusiast cycle in its natural habitat. Top panel: Some guy excitedly showing off his NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti graphics card like it's the second coming of silicon Jesus. Bottom panel: His jaded friend, utterly exhausted from hearing about it for the 10th year running. Hardware forums are basically this on repeat. "Look at my new RX 7900! It's got 24GB VRAM!" Meanwhile, everyone else is thinking, "Great, another person who spent their life savings on a fancy rectangle that'll be obsolete in 18 months."

Developers still clinging to their 1080 Ti graphics cards in 2025 while newer, similarly priced GPUs exist. That 7-year-old card sitting in your rig like royalty while you keep telling yourself "it still runs everything fine" despite struggling with modern games. The real flex isn't buying new hardware—it's squeezing eight years of performance from hardware you bought during Obama's presidency.
