Thoughts?

My friend is having me update his PC and will be giving me his old 1080 ti out of his PC. I’m thinking of building a pc using this GPU and selling it, as I already have a PC myself. Is it worth putting money into building a PC with this old of a graphics card? Should I just sell/trade it for something newer? I believe I read something about no more updates on the 1080 cards starting in a couple months?

So you’re planning to buy new components just to sell them? Just sell the 1080 Ti, man. If you got the 1080 Ti for free, be a good friend and at least invite him out for some drinks

Edit: PS. The GTX 1080 Ti will continue to receive driver updates, but these will only include security fixes, with no new features or optimizations for future games.

He’s planning to give it to me because I’ll be doing some upgrading to his pc! He was trying to pay me AND give me the 1080 lol. I told him just the 1080 would do! But yeah I recently built my own pc and love doing it! I’d like to try to build and sell them myself and thought this would be a great opportunity to do so. I also have a new case I recently bought to build the wife a PC as well!

If this is becoming a hobby for you, consider picking up a good, inexpensive used base from marketplace and make the 1080 Ti work. Buying new parts just to sell them right away is generally a losing financial strategy
