Is it still worth getting a gtx 1080 ti

11gbs of precious vram

Connectors would be the only reason. The old cards can be necessary for people with old DVI-DL 120hz monitors. There are some rtx 2070s with DVI-DL but that's it.

That shouldn't even be a reason either, no? DVI to HDMI or DVI to DP cables or adapters should work for that.

And my monitor is from 2009 and it has DVI, HDMI, and DP so I'd say if a display only has DVI then you're probably using something from nearly 15 years ago and/or is otherwise just a pretty basic display and I'd argue you were not originally the target market of something like the GTX 1080 Ti and you probably shouldn't be looking at one in 2022 because it just might not be the best choice for that. I know that sounds like "gatekeeping" what people should do which I actually hate, but eventually you do have to come to terms with things and accept you have to either change or accept the limitations. But I really think it's a non-issue as adapters should work.

If it were cheap it's worth looking into (I assume it's used without warranty), but it would be more sensible to get a modern lower-ended card of similar performance. 8gb of faster vram will improve performance, where any excess on 11gb of slower, on an older card, may well go unnoticed. I guess it comes down to use case.

A few things to consider about buying and using a GTX1080Ti in late 2022 and going forward.

This card has enjoyed a cult following for a number of years were it has been a great all-round GPU for gaming. Prices have remained firmly high for a number of years due to its perceived cult status and value, especially through the last mining crisis and pandemic when new card prices went through the stratosphere.

With prices in the lower GPU area becoming more competitive and a fresh flood modern GPUs of ex-mining cards hitting $200-$300+ on the used market this should be reducing a 1080Ti to under $200.

While Nvidia will likely officially discontinue driver support in the next year, the Ten series performance has been dropping in relation to twenty series and newer on newer game releases. This is a sure sign that driver optimisation for new titles isn't a priority past basic 'does it run' levels.

The video memory is slow by todays standard, the power consumption is also high at its modern performance level - it isn't really the beast that it was three years ago and there are better faster cards with faster memory available used.

If you are coming from an older and lesser level of performance, then there are probably better, newer cards that will perform better for longer at a better price with a wider selection of games.

if you're looking to run things at 1080p it's a good card and there is no game it can't run with almost max settings

If you can't get one for less than 300$ USD, absolutely not. It's almost 6 years old (released in March of 2017) now and trades blows with the RTX 3060 12G and RX 6600-XT.

The 3060 has support for newer technologies like DLSS while the 1080 Ti doesn't because it lacks the hardware necessary, and doesn't have any kind of hardware acceleration for real-time raytracing. Games that support DLSS but not FSR would put the 3060 in a clear advantage over the 1080 Ti, and you can get one brand new with a warranty, while the vast majority of warranties for 1080 Ti's have expired.
