We got a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in the office and thought we'd walk you through some pics and specs of the card ahead of our review. Like the original GTX 1080, the Ti version of the GPU is based on Nvidia's Pascal micro-architecture. In terms of specs, the 1080 Ti offers 12 billion transistors, 3584 CUDA cores, 28 geometry units, 224 texture units, and 28 streaming multiprocessors (SMs). It's also equipped with 11GB of GDDR5X video RAM coupled with a 352-bit memory interface. | | GTX 1080 Ti | GTX 1080 | | CUDA Cores | 3584 | 2560 | | Texture Units | 224 | 160 | | Core Clock | 1583MHz | 1607MHz | | Memory Clock | 11GHz GDDR5X | 10GHz GDDR5X | | Memory Bus Width | 352-bit | 256-bit | | VRAM | 11GB | 8GB | | TDP | 250W | 180W | | Transistor Count | 12 billion | 7.2 billion |
The card carries a 1583MHz core clock, but Nvidia asserts that it's possible to overclock it above 2000MHz with moderate temps. Nvidia also asserts that the GTX 1080 Ti will perform roughly 35 percent faster than the GTX 1080, which would provide the biggest performance jump a Ti card has offered over its base model. You can expect us to verify those claims in our upcoming review soon, but for now, here are several pics of Nvidia's upcoming GPU.
In the box, you get a packet that includes a starter guide, support guide, and a welcome card.
Inside the welcome card, there's an adhesive GeForce GTX badge.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti uses the same chassis as the GTX 1080 before it.
Unlike the GTX 1080, which required a single eight-pin power connector, the Ti version requires a six and eight-pin solution.
The Founders Edition of the card removes the DVI port, which the original GTX 1080 included. Nvidia said it did this to optimize cooling.
The box does include a DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, however.
Nvidia asserts that the 1080 Ti can run five degrees Celsius cooler than the GTX 1080 under the same noise levels.
Here's the GTX 1080 Ti right next to the original 1080.
Notice the lack of the DVI port on the Ti version (left).
Notice the added six-pin power port on the Ti card.
This is the Founders Edition version of the card. Expect boards from other GPU vendors like MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, and Zotac in the coming weeks.
The bottom of the box outlines the minimum system requirements, which include 8GB of system memory and a 600-watt PSU.
The GTX 1080 Ti is set to launch sometime this week for $699 USD. Expect a full review from us soon.
