GeForce GTX 1080 Ti resurrected from the dead?
And yes, we do mean that literally, as the GPU has been declared end-of-life for a long time already. But, much like the production ramp-up for 1050 Ti and RTX 2060, the GTX 1080 Ti might be revived.
Recently a user of South Korean tech platform Quasar Zone had his four-year-old GTX 1080 To returned the card for a repair, and he received a brand new 1080 Ti as a replacement. He had a peek, and despite this GPU being EOL; he noticed the serial number indicating the product was produced in 2021. Indicating it's a fresh batch.
It would not be uncommon for Nvidia to put an older GPU back into production with the current shortages, and older it is as it was released in 2017. Baked at 16nm FinFEt NVIDIA might have found some production capacity somewhere. Hey, it's still a very decent WQHD card. There are so many contradictions to this story that I would not know where to begin. Perhaps a batch was fdabbed just for RMA replacements, who knows. So for now take it with a grain or two of salt and as-is.

omg someone is selling his used 1080ti for 1200$ here >< I guess I need to put the stock cooler back on and sell mine altough not for that stupid price
they seem to have at least 85 6700XT ready to be sold on 30.04 for around 770€ (we have lower VAT than the UE) and it's a way better card in 2021 (they will be gone in an instant I'm sure)

I wanted this card for such a long time lol. It's still a decent card and up until about a year ago was still going toe to toe with the new cards (2000 series) until the 3000 series released.
I hate to say it, but, there's definitely a market for this card RIGHT NOW. Everything is getting scalped and gobbled-up with no end in sight of these shortages.

The dead horse has been flogged so much that it has been ground to dust.

I paid $389 for my 5700XT. Ive seen them selling for $1000-$1200 used.
What in the hell is going on besides the morning greed? Say a 1070 for $600 recently.
This is why I put a water block on my 5700xt and did a custom loop with my 2700x. Im prolly gonna be on them till 2022 sometime.

Not new, im pretty sure the FE came out at around £700 and went up in price shortly after.
