I had one in between a 1080ti and a 2080. I wanted to like it, I had it under an EK vector water block in a custom loop and everything. It just did not play nice with games I played at the time and I ended up selling it to get a 2080. I wish I would have held onto it though because they were going for big money during the mining craze.
Why did you replace the 1080 Ti? Both the VII and 2080 are barely faster
I thought my 1080ti was acting funny and might be dying so I picked up a VII to replace it while I could still sell it.
This and the r9 295x2 are the coolest GPUs ever released. Obviously not for gaming but they are just so cool.
My partner’s old R9 295x2 is sitting in a display cabinet with our anime figures. It’s a obscene monster of a card, comparable in size to more recent flagship GPUs. It absolutely dwarfs other flagship GPUs of the time other than the equally stupid Titan X.
It was a pretty good deal when they got it, but Crossfire was almost never useful. Shame, that.
Bought my RVII in 2019 for $699 + tax and sold it for $2000 in 2021. Perfect card for mining.
Similar story I got my VII in 2019 but it was open box at a local Microcenter. 530$ out the door with tax. Sold it for 2200$ in 2021. I really wanted to try that card on water though but $$$ talks!
Kinda same here, had a RX580 8GB. Bought for $300CAD , sold for $700CAD in 2021.
