Of course the GTX 1080Ti is still running strong even with its BETA Edition/Feature Preview 1.1 Raycore on 1440p and 4k.

The GTX 1080Ti is not a standard 1080 chip, they are binned Titan chips which were faulty (loss of one memory controller going from 12GB to 11GB during manufacturing faults) but resold as a step down tier of the Founders Edition 1080Ti Titans at 12GB.

Don't let people fool you in thinking your post is invalid because the only thing missing would be RayTracing and Frame Generation which I find both garbage anyways compared to raw power/performance. The GTX 1080Ti is still valid in 2025 and will continue to be a valid GPU until 2027.

The issue is 4K and 8K gaming on GDDR5x which is not so great with newer games, whereas the GDDR6x, which is 91% faster than GDDR5x, has no issues going higher in framerate on both 4K and 8K.

GDDR5x is very viable for 1080p and 1440p and can upscale to 4K using AMD FSR 1, 2, or 3 (game depending) with higher frames.

The Nvidia 1080 (standard chip) is even slower than the GTX 1080Ti (Titan chip) as during this time Nvidia juiced these 1080Ti GPU's and did not go with the standard 1080 architecture in a bid to defeat the highly publicized (and exaggerated) AMD Vega GPU specs so Nvidia went with their Titan architecture creating the "Once in a Decade" GPU (GTX 1080Ti).

Another GPU was supposed to be released as the next Titan for RTX ADA Lovelace (RTX 4090Ti) but was scrapped in the process.
