// Join the Community Discord! ►   / discord  

How does the almost 7 year old GTX 1080 perform in 2023 across a variety of games at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K? Well let's take a look at the underlying tech, and see how the circuitry in the card provides the performance we see!

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 is built using TSCM's 16nm lithographic process- and despite the relatively large transistors, the performance still packs it where it counts! It features the fully unlocked GP104-400-A1 GPU die, which utilized 7.2 Billion transistors to build up 2,560 FP32/INT32 CUDA cores, 160 Texture Mapping Units, and 64 Rasterization Operation Pipelines. Is the card still worth it in 2023? Well, yes and no, but mostly... yes!

Test System Specs:
Intel Core i7-11700k
ASUS ROG Strix Z590-e Gaming WiFi
64GB 3200 MT/s Silicon Power DDR4
GTX 1080 Founder's Edition
WDB SN770 1TB PCIe 4.0 for games
Samsung 970 Evo 1TB PCIe 3.0 for OS/Boot
650W EVGA PSU

A GPU is a separate bank of ALUs and FPUs, designed to offload heavily parallelizable calculations from the main CPU onto a dedicated chip. The Graphics Card refers to the entire sub-system, containing the PCB, Memory, and Cooling solution.

Building a Budget PC can be tough. Not only are GPUs and CPUs so incredibly expensive, but they can be hard to find on a budget... But, there are tips and tricks to finding you your dream Budget GPU, and pairing it with a CPU that will give you the performance you want!
