The GTX 1080 is almost 10 years old, yet a lot ofpeople are still gaming on it in 2026: are they wrong?
With used prices dropping to around $60–$80, it can still deliver over 144 FPS in many esports games, run modern titles at 1080p, and gain another 20% or more through overclocking.
Of course, there are compromises.
I also test undervolting, overclocking, and a fully unlocked water-cooled GTX 1080 to see how close this decade-old GPU can get to modern entry-level cards :)
