Legendary Memes

The 1080 Ti refuses to die. While its younger, more expensive siblings—the RTX 5080, 4080, and 3080—stand tall and proud with their ray tracing and DLSS buzzwords, the 1080 Ti just keeps chugging along like that one server in the closet nobody wants to touch. Released in 2017, it's still running modern games at 1080p/1440p like it's got something to prove. Meanwhile, crypto miners treated it like royalty, gamers held onto it through the GPU shortage apocalypse, and it's now worth more used than some new cards cost at launch. The little legend that could—and still does.
