**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Nvidia has officially announced its new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card, its most powerful consumer GPU ever. We have all the specs, price and release date details.



The GTX 1080 Ti has been a long time coming; the original GTX 1080 launched way back in May 2016, followed in order by cheaper alternatives the 1070, 1060, 1050 Ti and 1050. What the range has been missing is a top-end showstopper. And you can’t really blame Nvidia for that; the GTX 1080 was so far ahead of any other graphics card launched in the previous 12 months, Nvidia was under no pressure to launch a bigger product. Why waste a ridiculously powerful product when there’s no competition?

With the arrival of AMD’s RX Vega GPU later this year, Nvidia is covering its bases with a graphics card that should go toe-to-toe with whatever AMD ends up offering at the top-end of the market.

The 1080 Ti looks set to be the first graphics card to truly master 4K gaming at maximum settings, something the GTX 1080 couldn’t quite manage under harsh benchmarking circumstances. The new card shouldn’t break a sweat under the same circumstances.

Best of all, it's going to launch next week for $699, which will shake out to be around £649 including VAT, we reckon. That's better performance than the Titan X, which costs $1,200.

GTX 1080 TI SPECS AND TECHNOLOGY
What’s new? The 1080 Ti is based on the same GP102 chip as last year’s ultra-high-end Titan X GPU, with a slightly slimmed down specification to make its pricing slightly more reasonable. However, this isn’t just a Titan X Lite and, perversely, it's going to end up being faster.



Card 1080 Ti Titan X (Pascal) 1080
Transistors 12bn 12bn 7.2bn
CUDA cores 3584 3328 2560
Boost clock 1.6GHz 1.53Ghz 1.73GHz
Memory capacity 11GB 12GB 8GB
Memory speed 11Gbps 10Gbps 10Gbps
TDP 250W 250W 180W


The GP102 chip is built on Nvidia’s ultra-efficient “Pascal” architecture, which powers all the other 10-series GPUs released in 2016.

You get the full 12 billion transistors found on the regular card and the same number of CUDA cores, 3584. There’ll be 11GB of GDDR5X memory (versus 12Gb on the Titan X) running at a massive 11Gbps (11GHz). Nvidia says this is the fastest GDDR5X memory ever manufactured and has worked alongside chipmaker Micron to boost memory speeds well beyond what we’ve seen before from an unmodified, production-ready graphics card.

Even better, the chip’s boost clock speed is rated at 1.6GHz and can be overclocked to 2GHz and beyond. Again, this is slightly faster than the Titan X, which had a boost clock speed of 1.53GHz.

We’d be surprised if the 1080 Ti wasn’t faster than the Titan X, but on-paper specifications only get us so far. As soon as we get our Titan X for benchmarking we’ll report back.

They were £529 last week the gigabyte 1080

I'm out at £700 if we actually see them at this price in the U.K.

Nv can go **** themselves

Seems my easy shuffle was timed to perfection

I'll be packing in gaming for the next few months anyway

That was obviously a fluke as you was banging on about it being 1060Ti when every man and his dog said it was a 1080Ti :p

As mentioned before, it does not take a genius to work out when it is the best time to sell graphics cards to make the least loss.

Funny now looking back at you saying where does 1080Ti fit, 1080 won't get price cut etc etc. Lol

What is funny even more is after saying to me my logic is wrong, now you yourself will be without a high end card also for months... At least I have a 290, you are on 6450... Hahahahaha. If I could be bothered I would get that soIwin.gif out now :p

I was joking about a 1060 ti :confused:

And I don't need a high card in my machine right now . As I'm not gaming at all.

Might get a 1060 but I've ditched the 6450 and gone to onboard as I forgot my mobo had onboard GFX :p

Sure you was joking...

Yes and I don't need more than a 290 in my machine currently either. Yet my logic was wrong. Fail. Haha.

Pointless going for a 1060 if no gaming. I play a bit of FIFA 17 myself maxed at 4K on my 290 :)

I was thinking more of video editing I've got a few events coming up I'm filming

As for FIFA then why buy a 1070 then ? :p
