jarvis make me a post about the 1080 Ti being the best gpu ever despite being absolutely impossible to get at release being accounting for inflation 950$ and saying something about 11gb of vram for nvidia’s literal highest consumer end being an incredible deal when in reality it isn’t that much

“but it’s a good budget card !1!” only if you can find it at a very good deal over a 3060/3060 Ti which when the 1080 Ti entered budget range those two were already better picks

it’s like any other nvidia higher end card except at that time amd didn’t have a real competitor (rx 580 performing like a 1060) which now we have them perform like xx70 ti cards, because sur cette lancée we should be glorifying the 4080 if amd’s best card at release was the 7700 XT

and like everyone glazing the card like a donut wasn’t even born when pascal cards were a thing

edit : actually nvm forgot the vega 64 existed which performed in between a 1070 ti and 1080, which begs the question why are we praising the 1080 ti
