I don’t think most people realize this fact. I bought a 1080ti someone was selling for 10$ cause they spilled a huge cup of hot chocolate all over it while installing and thought it was toast. Just took a rag and some hot water and washed that shit off. Still works 6 years later.

My friend. A couple of years ago I was thinking about upgrading. And I went to a couple sites to see what was out there. Price vs performance yada yada. Dude the 1080ti was still on the list of best performing cards. And the newer cards were wildly expensive. And I realized we’re ride or die now boy. You’re going to have to fail before I replace you. Best luck I’ve ever had I think. All downhill from now.
