>>106508841Sweet, when everyone dumps them on eBay I can upgrade my Linux machine to a 1080 Ti.
Its not that they stop working right away, they don't have api to support new games already, I used an HD4870 with windows 11 for a while
Can't wait, then I'll finally be able to install the legacy gaming driver on my P40 and use it for PhysX.
>>106508841Yolks on jew, 1080 Ti is still plenty for every game on the planet worth playing - even with its launch driver.All this "driver" updooting is copium, Your shit either works, or it does not. If it does not, it's the dev's fault. If the devs are absolutely fucking retarded and NVIDIA can step in to fix one of their mistakes, you might see your FPS double.Under no circumstance is a driver update ever mandatory. It's basically workaround after workaround after workaround, proper games run fine with drivers literally and I mean literally a decade old. There's never a valid reason to upgrade your graphics drivers, I'm not saying there's never a practical reason, but if your shit works you'll never need a new one. This shit doesn't rot over time. Only shit devs can fuck things up.Stop playing AAA games with hundred million dollar budgets that can't even abide by standards and work on functioning graphics cards without a copium patch.1080 Ti is plenty good and will remain so for the next 20 years easy.
>>106509297some games are just garbage but what else can you doi remember having some driver updates break physx on borderlands 2 on my 1080ti while older ones would work
>>106509320>NJUDEA: SAAR WE OPTIMIZED>Consumer: FPS went up, but we lost features... when will we get PhysX back?>NJUDEA: DLSS FRAME GEN DLDLSS UPSCALE FXAA TAA AI AI AI AI!!! why do you want lower FPS? Buy a 5090, no you can't have PhysX.>Consumer: I want my game to look how it did 10 years ago, why did you take that away from me?>NJUDEA: SHUT THE FUCK UP WHY DO YOU HATE CHANGE??????It's actually hilarious at this point.Remember kids, anything not standard is never going to last.NVIDIA shit might be shilled hard and full of proprietary tech that makes AMD seem like it's missing out at times, but none of this proprietary stuff ever lasts. It's always a meme.Havok was always better than PhysX, Havok games still work on any GPU. Even Intel's GPUs for fucks sake. When NVIDIA takes their PhysX shit away, you have no recourse. Avoid games that bow to NVIDIA and implement shitty proprietary solutions instead of time-tested methods.
>>106509297retarded take. driver updates are important for new vulkan and directx features. 9 and 10 series cards set the baseline for what developers can universally work with
