294: The God-Tier GPU

We're back with another installment in our (annual?) series of Products That Changed Everything (cue the theme music). This time it's the venerable Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which we chose on the occasion of Nvidia recently announcing that it's preparing to wind down driver support for the 10 series and end-of-life the card. We get into why this was a killer bang-for-the-buck GPU with such unusual longevity, how it ushered in 4k gaming, what set it apart from previous Ti cards, how it changed expectations for PC gaming hardware going forward, some viable upgrade paths for people still looking to replace a 1080 Ti on the cheap, and more.
