1080ti or old gpu users here?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering upgrading my GPU from a 980 Ti to a 1080 Ti due to budget constraints.

Does anyone here still use the 1080 Ti with Houdini? I’d love to hear how it performs, especially for pyro simulations. I’m not aiming for large-scale scenes—just effects like a nearby car exploding or a small explosion happening right in front of the camera.

Do you think getting a 1080 Ti is still a good choice, or would it be much better to save up and go for something from the 30 or 40 series instead?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

My current setup is

AMD 3900x

64GB RAM

980ti 6GB
