A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

1080’a going to be used until it dies. Don’t have a grand to spend on a card
I would nominate the Gtx1080 (actually the 1060 6gb too) as the best of the best GPU ever made.
The price/performance ratio at their launch was insane and even 7 years later, they're still valid options for budget gamers.
That’s one. 1080 GTX. And it’s been about 6 years dutifully chugging away
Literally just replaced my 1080ti after about 5 years, absolutely loved it
See also: the iPhone 4S
My 4S became unusable after the ... iOS 6? 7? update; nothing would remain running in the background and apps took several seconds to start.
Switched to Android and never looked back.
Edit: looked up a few dates and I think it must have been iOS 8.
Oh yeah, I'm not saying the 4S is a good phone nowadays, but I still consider it the best phone of all time when you consider when it came out, what its competitors were, etc. Similar to the Nvidia 1080 GPU.
What I'm saying is that Apple made sure to turn it into a bad phone three years after its release, while the 1080 is still a decent GPU several years later.
A year or two ago, I needed a newer graphics card because my R9 390 couldn't handle the resolution of my new ultrawide monitor. This was when prices were crazy, everything was out of stock, and second-hand cards were selling for higher than the retail prices of brand new cards.
I got a 1080Ti for free from someone at my workplace because they hadn't used it for a while and would have felt bad selling it while prices were ridiculously high. He didn't want to take advantage of anyone. Good guy.
To pay it forward, when I upgraded my PC I gave away all the old parts (PSU, motherboard, RAM, CPU) for free. I posted about it, waited a day or two, and picked someone randomly for each item.
Be an absolute irresponsible moron and finance one like I did :) who cares about debt when you have FRAMES am I right?.. right..?
Please pay off your credit card debt.
Oh don't worry, I have. In fact my credit rating rocks because of my irresponsible-ness - just the way capitalism intended
You don't need to. If you look at the relative performance table, you can get a feeling for a cheaper upgrade path (if you need it): https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080-ti.c2877
This took me down a rabbit hole, thanks for the link. Time to start saving my dollars. I didn't realise just how much of an upgrade a new GPU would be for me.
That’s handy. Thanks
Bought a laptop with a 1050ti back in 2018, still use it to this day. Though I don't game on it as much as I used to. I've upgraded everything else in it that I could
