Suggested replacement for GTX 1080?


bobkn said:
The GTX 1080 cards vary in their PCI-E auxiliary power requirements. Some take a single 8 pin, some add a 6 pin. How about yours?

In the nVidia world, probably an RTX 3060 or RTX 3060 ti. Neither is exactly equivalent to a 1080. The 3060 may be slightly less in perfromance, the 3060 to significantly better.

If AMD is an option for you, an RX 6600 XT looks comparable to a GTX 1080.

Or even the RX 5700 is comparable to the GTX 1080 in performance..

what happened? Did it just suddenly stop working? or you messed up with overclocking? My old R9 290 stopped working and tried the baking method I saw on Linus video and it's been almost a year now and still working.

Here is my post about it on this forum:

It wasn't overclocked, it just stopped working after being away for an extended period and not using it.
