Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Founders Edition) Review - Review 2022

Over the years, Nvidia has settled into a now-anticipated pattern with its graphics-bill of fare launches, which helps explicate how and when information technology comes out with a graphics carte du jour like the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition ($699). Start, it launches a midsize chip aimed at the height of the current marketplace, and that chip is dubbed "GeForce GTX x80." (This would be, through the years, the GeForce GTX 680, the GeForce GTX 780, the GeForce GTX 980, and most recently the GeForce GTX 1080.) After that elevation card rocks the market for a bit, and AMD responds with a competing card, Nvidia launches a graphics card with a scrap that is usually almost twice every bit big—named some form of "Titan."

Also according to the formula: The Titan represents the summit of its current architecture, and it is wildly expensive, typically costing $1,000 or more. Being cards designed to bridge professional person graphics solutions and PC gaming, the diverse Titans have certainly been superb gaming cards, but too expensive for near gamers and packing features gamers don't need. So, the side by side step in the formula: Nvidia then takes the Titan, clips its wings a piffling flake, and rebrands it as the "GeForce GTX x80 Ti" bit, making it essentially the best possible Nvidia gaming bill of fare for the company's current architecture.

So, in March 2022, history repeats. Such is the case with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. It's the exact aforementioned graphics processor at centre equally the current Nvidia Titan X Pascal card ($709.79 at Amazon) (the 2022 model based on current "Pascal" architecture), but fabricated for gamers and offered at a essentially reduced price: just $699, versus the Titan X'southward list price of $ane,200. Nvidia calls information technology this new card its "Ultimate GeForce," and judging by the specs, that does non seem like hyperbole.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Side View)

Before we become too deep into the weeds with our test menu, allow'due south have a expect at the specs of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, along with the 2022 Pascal Titan Ten that it is based on, and the GeForce GTX 1080 information technology supplants as the gamer's flagship card.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Spec Chart)

As you can see from the chart, there are very few cadre differences betwixt the 2022 version of the Nvidia Titan X and the new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, but some substantial improvements compared to the GTX 1080. Though the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is expected to perform improve than the GTX 1080, the relatively pocket-sized changes compared to the Titan X are a deviation from standard operating procedure for Nvidia.

In the past, Nvidia has generally given the Ti variants of its cards a small nip-and-constrict compared to the Titan, in club to still leave the Titan an reward, admitting a small one. This time effectually, all the same, Nvidia made those small changes, simply it is claiming that information technology made the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti faster than the Titan X by snipping in some areas and boosting performance in others.

To empathize how this is possible, let's take a expect at the differences between the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the Titan 10. (It won't take long, promise.)

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Box)

The Basics: A Look at the GTX 1080 Ti Specs

First off, the biggest departure between the GTX 1080 Ti and both the Titan Ten and the GTX 1080 is in the GTX 1080 Ti's memory subsystem. Rather than employing the aforementioned 10Gbps GDDR5X memory that it used in both of those previous graphics cards, with the GTX 1080 Ti Nvidia has upgraded information technology to a faster connection that runs at 11Gbps. (We won't insert-joke-here about something "going to 11"; Nvidia already did that in its initial presentation materials for this card.)

This is a big bargain. More retention bandwidth is important, since the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has a narrower retentiveness double-decker compared to the Titan X's, at 352-fleck versus 384-bit. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti'due south autobus is still much wider than the GTX 1080's comparatively narrower 256-chip autobus, however.

Also worth noting: For the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Nvidia was able to narrow the bus but pump the data faster, bringing the two cards roughly cervix-and-cervix in the retentiveness-bandwidth section. It'south as well very interesting that Nvidia kept the CUDA core count the same betwixt the two high-end GPUs, at 3,584. Typically, Nvidia reduces this figure somewhat when going from Titan to Ti.

The GTX 1080 Ti packs 11GB of this super-fast memory, which is an odd number. Information technology'south 1GB less than the 12GB on the 2022 Titan X only 3GB more than than what's on the GeForce GTX 1080. That's a significant crash-land upwards in memory for games, and according to Nvidia it should give the menu enough headroom to run games at 5K resolution at maximum settings.

This finer gives this GPU a longer shelf life, as near people aren't even running games at 4K yet, much less 5K on the few bachelor such panels. Console availability could plain change in the adjacent two years or so, but even 4K remains the province of the gaming elite. It's almost amazing that just 1 year ago, we thought 8GB of RAM on a video card was a lot, simply at present it'south not enough in some rarified high-end scenarios.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Manual)

The but other small change from the 2022 Titan X is that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has 8 fewer ROPs (render output units). Having fewer tin can degrade operation, but since information technology's only 8 out of almost 90 total, it's not a huge reduction.

Compared to the GeForce GTX 1080, though, nigh everything has changed. Instead of using the GP104 chip in the former flagship, this GPU uses what's affectionately called "Big Pascal," which is the biggest die created by Nvidia for this generation of architecture. To empathize the difference between GP104 and GP102, we simply accept to look at the size of the die. While the GTX 1080'south GP104 is a decent-size chunk of silicon at 314mm squared, the GP102 powering the Titan X and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is a whole different beast, at 417mm squared. It's also packing an additional 4.8 billion transistors, making information technology 66 percent larger in terms of transistor count. That's a massive leap, making the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti not just a supercharged version of the GTX 1080, but a different chip/animal entirely.

Connections and Design

Other than the changes to the actual chip, the card we received for review should look familiar. It's the same Nvidia Founders Edition pattern we saw with the GeForce GTX 1080. Since this card runs a bit hotter, though, due to the enlarged die, Nvidia did improve its cooling characteristics a chip.

First, it removed the DVI connector, and so used that infinite to increase the size of the "airflow surface area" on the port backplane by a gene of 2. This helps the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti run cooler and likewise quieter, since a libation-running fleck allows the fan to spin slower. Nvidia claims it'south good for well-nigh a 5 degrees C difference.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Backplane)

The GTX 1080 Ti has a much larger die, which consumes more ability than that of the GTX 1080, so clock speeds were fix a flake lower to keep the thermals in check. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti runs at a boost clock of around 1.6GHz, compared to the i.7GHz boost clock of the GTX 1080. That said, Nvidia is claiming the GTX 1080 Ti tin still overclock quite nicely, going so far as to say it has seen cards hit over 2GHz. (It said the aforementioned thing about the GeForce GTX 1080 at launch.) This makes it seem similar, despite its out-of-the-box clock-speed deficit, it should exist able to reach like clocks as its smaller sibling.

Despite the slower clocks, the larger silicon spread in the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti requires more than power than the GTX 1080. So instead of only a unmarried six-pin PCI Express connector, it has six-pin and eight-pin power plugs.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Power Connectors)

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti'south torso too features a removable backplate covering the rear of the main circuit board, similar to the 1 on the GeForce GTX 1080.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Rear Plate)

The remainder of the card presents no surprises. There'south an SLI connector upwards along the top border, to piece of work with a second GTX 1080 Ti card (should y'all exist so inclined).

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (SLI)

Officially, 2 cards is the limit to SLI these days, and that simply with the upper-end Pascal cards. Otherwise, the bottom edge is the usual PCI Express x16 connector.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (PCI E x16)

And the menu is the standard two-slot width of the electric current generation of Founders Edition cards.

Pricing and Versions

The GTX 1080 Ti will be bachelor in both Founders Edition and "partner"-version boards from Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, and the other usual Nvidia suspects. The big difference this time around, compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 launch, is that the price will exist the aforementioned for both versions. (With earlier Pascal cards, the Founders Edition exacted a premium.) Many consumers naturally will exist more than interested in the partner boards, since some will offer more avant-garde cooling setups, with two or 3 fans.

Alas, availability is going to be a similar story to earlier, at to the lowest degree in the virtually term. If yous want a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti right at launch time, you'll be limited to the Founders Edition, as these cards volition launch first, with partner cards post-obit shortly thereafter in the month of March (or so nosotros hear).

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3

As we mentioned earlier on, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti volition exist priced at $699, which is a surprise because, co-ordinate to Nvidia's claims, it's supposed to be faster than the $1,200 2022 Titan X. Our theory is that Nvidia kept the price low to put some strain on AMD, which is about to come to market with its own flagship GPU under the family code-proper name "Vega." Now that Nvidia has laid down its paw, AMD will be forced to beat it on price and operation, which seems similar a difficult chore.

Information technology's interesting that the visitor pulled what looks like much the same maneuver with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which came out mere days before AMD's much-anticipated AMD Radeon R9 Fury X . Nvidia certainly does like to pour buckets on AMD's parade when information technology can, only then again, we have no thought what the Radeon camp has up its sleeve with Vega, timing-wise. Then we'll just accept to wait and see.

Functioning

As we've mentioned in our other recent card reviews, things are in flux these days when it comes to testing cards, because of two emerging technologies.

The commencement of these is DirectX 12 (DX12), which is only now coming on the scene. There are very few existent-globe benchmarks for it. Still, DX12 will likely be the standard graphics API in the futurity, and this card was designed to last for a few years, if non longer. So information technology's important to know if a bill of fare can handle DX12 well before buying. We tested the Pascal Titan Ten with the newest DX12-capable games nosotros had on hand, including Hitman (the 2022 edition) and Rise of the Tomb Raider, as well as Futuremark's 3DMark DX12 criterion, Time Spy. We tested a load of games using DirectX 11, also, because that API will still be in wide use for at least another yr, and probably much longer.

The other bending is virtual reality (VR) support. A few VR-focused benchmarks are emerging, including FutureMark's VRMark. But given we haven't had a gamble to test other cards for their VR abilities yet, for now we're going to stick with the requirements from the headset manufacturers, HTC in the case of its HTC Vive, and Oculus with its Oculus Rift. At the moment, baseline VR support for those headsets starts with the AMD Radeon RX 480 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 ($299.00 at NVIDIA) . Since the GTX 1080 Ti is much more powerful than either of those cards, it should have no problems handling VR titles for years to come.

And so, on to the benchmarks. First, you'll note that nosotros're comparing the GTX 1080 Ti but to the Nvidia Titan 10 and GeForce GTX 1080 in the charts to follow. Due to time constraints, we could only retest the GeForce GTX 1080 with electric current drivers for this go-effectually, and that was clearly necessary for this review. The Nvidia-supplied driver (version 378.148) allowed the GTX 1080 Ti to run much faster at 1080p and 1440p than the previous cards nosotros tested using what are now old drivers (merely that were new when nosotros tested them). Driver updates from the center of last year to now showed some really large discrepancies between the GTX 1080 Ti and other cards, particularly at lower resolutions, that newer drivers resolved. So we retested the GTX 1080 aslope the GTX 1080 Ti. Sadly, nosotros could not re-test the 2022 Titan X, as we had the card on loan at the time of our review, just it wasn't that long ago; nosotros tested information technology with drivers electric current of December 2022.

Though there are certainly people with GTX 1070s that are probably eyeballing the GTX 1080 Ti, the real competition for this card is only the GeForce GTX 1080 and the Titan 10, so those are the only two we'll exist reporting here. If you're curious almost how the GTX 1080 Ti compares to any current AMD bill of fare, even the Radeon R9 Fury X, we'll spoil it for you; there is no competition. That could alter soon, in one case AMD launches its expected loftier-end "Vega" competitor to the Pascal cards in 2022. All the same, details are notwithstanding scarce on actual Vega hardware, then we'll have to wait and see if AMD tin give Nvidia a run for its money. Until then, the extreme high-end portion of the market is strictly Nvidia'southward playground, as yous'll see below.

3DMark Fire Strike Ultra

Nosotros started off our testing with Futuremark'due south 2022 version of 3DMark, specifically the suite's Fire Strike Ultra subtest. Fire Strike is a constructed exam designed to measure out overall gaming operation. Ultra is meant to simulate the stresses of game graphics rendering at 4K.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Fire Strike Ultra)

In this first examination, we saw the Titan X holding a slight advantage over the GTX 1080 Ti, but it's so small that information technology's well within the margin of error. They are essentially tied, and that's neat news for gamers with $700 burning a hole in their pockets. Compared to the GTX 1080, though, the Ti version knocks it to the ground to the melody of a 33 percent advantage on the Graphics Subscore. Nvidia claimed the Ti version was 35 percent faster than the GTX 1080, so information technology looks similar no fudging of numbers there.

Nosotros also tested the cards with the lesser 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme and Fire Strike subtests, and we will reproduce those results beneath without comment, as they are well beneath the kinds of loads it would make sense to subject this carte du jour to. The relative dynamics are much the same equally with Ultra.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Fire Strike Extreme)

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Fire Strike)

Tomb Raider (2013)

Let'southward showtime our game testing with some older games. Hither, we fired up the 2022 reboot of the classic title Tomb Raider, testing at the highest detail preset ("Ultimate") and three resolutions.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Tomb Raider 2022)

Moving onto the real world using actual games, we can see the Titan X and 1080 Ti perform the same at 4K resolution, with but 0.2 frame per 2nd separating them. The Titan Ten also holds a micro-advantage at 2,560x1,440, but over again non enough to support any claims about information technology being faster.

Compared to the GTX 1080, even so, the GTX 1080 Ti version managed but an incremental boost of 9.5 percentage at 4K, which falls short of expectations. Information technology did hit the target at lower resolutions, though, as the GTX 1080 Ti card was only over 30 per centum faster than its predecessor at both 1440p and 1080p resolutions.

Sleeping Dogs

Next, nosotros rolled out the very enervating existent-world gaming benchmark test built into the older title Sleeping Dogs.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Sleeping Dogs)

Once again, the Titan X and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti are and so close you could cover them with a hand towel. At 4K, in that location's just 1.3 frames per second separating them, and at 2,560x1,440, they're also a mere 1.5 frames per second autonomously. Comparing the GTX 1080 Ti to the vanilla GTX 1080 at 4K, though, all is right in the world as in that location is a well-nigh-38-percent difference betwixt them, about as if Nvidia tuned the new card to be exactly that much faster. That delta narrows a flake at lower resolutions, though, hit 28 per centum at 1440p and and then 17 pct at 1080p.

Bioshock Infinite

The popular title Bioshock Infinite isn't overly demanding, but it's a popular one with stellar adept looks. In its built-in benchmark plan, nosotros set the graphics level to the highest preset (Ultra+DDOF).

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Bioshock Infinite)

In Bioshock, we finally start to see the GTX 1080 Ti hold a pocket-size advantage over the Titan X, but not at 4K, as we assumed. At super-high resolution, they are yet tied, but at 2,560x1,440, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was able to hold a roughly v percent advantage, which is what we figured information technology would be capable of, given their similar specs. Compared to the GeForce GTX 1080, though, the GTX 1080 Ti card was 34 percentage faster at 4K, 24 percent faster at 1440p, and only 19 per centum faster at 1080p.

Hitman: Absolution

Next upwardly was Hitman: Absolution, which is an aging game just withal enough hard on a video card.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Hitman Absolution)

These results were a little unusual, in that the only place we saw the GTX 1080 Ti hold a good-size advantage over the 2022 Titan 10 was at 1,920x1,080, where it was a surprising 20 percent faster and the Titan X was limited past other factors. The two cards were essentially tied at 4K and 1440p. Nevertheless, like clockwork, the GTX 1080 Ti was faster than its predecessor at 4K resolution by, you guessed it, a touch more than than 35 percent.

Far Cry Key

Next, we moved to a more than recent game, released in 2022. Ubisoft'south latest open-world beginning-person hunting game is i of the most demanding titles we use, cheers to its lush leaf, detailed shadows, and otherwise incredible environments.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Far Cry Primal)

Since we weren't able to re-test the Titan 10 with Nvidia's very latest drivers, it is possible that these results are skewed a scrap in the GTX 1080 Ti's favor. That said, it wasn't able to outpace the Titan X at 4K, and its advantages at 1440p and 1080p are suspect, as the Titan X was, for reasons we could not diagnose, capped at 83fps on this test at those resolutions. However, we tin compare it with greater certainty to the GTX 1080, and information technology was a respectable 30 pct faster at 4K, and 22 percent faster at 1440p.

M Theft Auto Five

One of the well-nigh popular game franchises on the planet, Grand Theft Auto needs no introduction. Version Five took a lot longer than many expected to land on the PC. But when it finally did, in early 2022, it brought a number of graphical improvements and tweakable visual settings that pushed the game far across its console roots.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (GTA V)

This test shows signs of being CPU-limited at the lower resolutions, despite the fact that all cards were tested on our robust Intel Core i7-4770K-based testbed. Not surprisingly, the Titan Ten and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti were close at 4K resolution, but the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti overtook its big brother at both 1440p and 1080p. It was able to top the Titan Ten by a substantial xix percent at 1440p, and sixteen percentage at 1080p. Information technology'south possible its faster retentivity really comes into play at these lower resolutions. Also, the GTX 1080 Ti was a notable 32 percent faster than the GTX 1080 at 4K resolution.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Lara Croft rises one time again in the early 2022 iteration of Foursquare Enix'south long-running action franchise. As our hero works to unfold an ancient mystery (and reveal the secret to immortality) alee of the ancient and mortiferous Order of Trinity, she traipses through a slew of complex atmospheric environments, from arid tombs to the frigid Siberian wilderness. A dynamic atmospheric condition organisation, and the complexities of Lara's wind-tousled hair, add to the game'due south visual complexity.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (ROTR DX11 Very High)Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (ROTR DX11 Very High)

This is another game that made us wish we could re-test the Titan X with the newest drivers, equally its results show information technology underperforming more than we'd expect. Comparing the GTX 1080 Ti to its infant blood brother, though, we encounter a large comeback. The GTX 1080 Ti was 27 percentage faster at 4K, going from a reasonably playable 48fps to a very solid, smoothen 61fps. If anything, that is the reason some GTX 1080 owners might upgrade to this card, every bit it can striking 60fps hither at 4K resolution, something the GTX 1080 isn't ever capable of doing in enervating games similar this one.

Hitman (2016)

The newest game in the Hitman franchise finds Agent 47 turning over a new leaf, and embarking on a journeying of cocky-discovery as a teacher at a school for underprivileged children. Only kidding, of form; he kills loads of people in this i, but like the rest. It does offering gorgeous graphics in both DX11 and DX12 varieties, though. We'll tackle the former (DX11) beginning.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Hitman DX11 High)

For this examination, we were able to re-run the GTX 1080 numbers then they are electric current, but it looks like our Titan 10 numbers are probably lower than they should be due to the older commuter, so accept them with a large grain of common salt. That said, in comparing to the GTX 1080, the new GTX 1080 Ti card has a sizable 45 percent advantage at 4K resolution, which is quite impressive, because that the GeForce GTX 1080 is less than a year erstwhile. That gap narrows every bit resolution decreases, nonetheless, hitting xx percentage at 1440p. Both cards were hitting the limits of the CPU at 1080p, so those numbers are non as telling.

Information technology's tough to become any rock-solid sense of DirectX 12 performance at this indicate. When nosotros wrote this in March 2022, major titles with DirectX 12 support were not notwithstanding quite the norm. And running these games, anecdotally nosotros saw no major graphical differences betwixt the titles running at DX11 versus DX12 settings. In some instances, titles running under DX12 offered functioning gains, simply elsewhere we saw lesser operation.

In other words, don't depict any fix-in-rock conclusions from the DX12 results below. DirectX 12 is withal in its early on stages, and those developers who have implemented it have nonetheless to shine over the cracks. We'll have to wait some months to say for certain how much of an advantage DX12 offers, and whether information technology sways things in favor of AMD or Nvidia in any noun mode. Still, because this is a cutting-edge card and DX12 is cutting-edge tech, information technology'southward worth taking a look at what the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and its competition can exercise with Microsoft's latest gaming API today.

Rise of the Tomb Raider (DX12)

This sequel to 2022's Tomb Raider was one of the outset AAA titles to offering DirectX 12 support. We used the preset labeled Very High for testing.

These results over again reverberate the Titan X driver situation we described earlier, so take the Titan X results for what they are; what the bill of fare could practise a few months agone, not today. Compared to the GTX 1080, we see the GTX 1080 Ti with a 32 percent boost in operation at 4K, and that lead lessens only a teeny fleck as the resolution drops. Information technology withal held a 27 percent lead at 1440p, and finally a 16 percentage lead at 1080p.

Hitman (2016, DX12)

The newest Hitman title also offers upwardly a DX12 graphics option in its benchmark that, like Rising of the Tomb Raider, looked identical to our eyes to the DX11 version. We used the Loftier setting hither.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Hitman DX12 High)

Non to beat a expressionless horse, simply this is another game that caused our driver situation to rear its head, with the Titan X numbers "frozen in time" to last December. Regardless, we can withal see how much of an upgrade the GTX 1080 Ti is over the vanilla GTX 1080. At 1440p the GTX 1080 Ti is rocking a whopping 28 percent performance advantage, and at 1080p nosotros see the examination arrangement'southward CPU holding upwards the bear witness, so those numbers don't accept much of an impact on the proceedings. Suffice to say, you probably shouldn't spend $700 on a video card then run information technology at 1080p.

3DMark Fourth dimension Spy DX12

This is the first 3DMark examination using DirectX 12, so it should theoretically show how cards stack up using this fledgling API. Co-ordinate to the developers, "With its pure DirectX 12 engine, built from the footing up to support new features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is an ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards."

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (3DMark Time Spy DX12)

Without AMD'southward Vega cards in the mix, these results are a flake dull, and not surprising. The GTX 1080 Ti was a scant 2 percentage faster than the Titan, and 30 percent faster than the GTX 1080, but once again, without new AMD silicon to compare it to, it's hard to say whether or not Nvidia'southward DX12 implementation volition be better or worse than AMD's. However, the numbers are respectable, and the GTX 1080 Ti was the fastest card overall.

From the makers of 3DMark comes its first VR benchmark, no headset required. VR has extremely high hardware requirements, so this exam is designed to evidence overall capability for VR. Nosotros ran the Orange Room subtest.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (VRMark)

Discussing the VR capabilities of the 3 fastest GPUs on the planet is a bit silly, because this bunch is as skilful as it gets these days. The driver consequence likewise likely comes into play here, equally we tin can see the newer driver allowed the GTX 1080 to surpass the Titan Ten in this test, which probably shouldn't happen. The GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1080 were in a virtual tie, landing within i percentage of 1 another.

4K Gaming Performance for Less

Ofttimes, when tremendous anticipation builds upwards for a graphics card or CPU, seeing the bodily benchmarks tin can be a scrap of a letdown. This is not one of those times.

The GTX 1080 Ti delivered in every manner information technology was supposed to, offering Titan 10 levels of operation and also relegating the GTX 1080 to second-assistant status. (Granted, information technology'south still a assistant nosotros'd be happy to feed to an 800-pound PC-gaming gorilla.) Though it's not surprising at all that information technology offers the aforementioned level of performance equally the Titan X, it's stunning to run across how much faster information technology is compared to the GTX 1080, the previous real-earth flagship of the GeForce line, as the Titan X exists in its own universe without GeForce branding.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Angled)Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Angled)

Whereas previous Ti versions of the GeForce GTX x80 cards accept offered 18 and 25 percent improvements over their predecessor (according to Nvidia), the GTX 1080 Ti pushes that way further with a much bigger-than-usual boost in functioning. That makes information technology a worthy upgrade even for GeForce GTX 1080 owners, just only for 4K resolution, which is where it really pays off since it can top 60fps at max settings in many circumstances. Indeed, if nosotros had to retrieve of one bullet point to describe this card, we'd say it's the showtime "affordable" (ahem) 4K gaming carte du jour, because information technology tin can oftentimes accomplish 60fps in demanding games with high (if not necessarily maximum-possible) settings. The GTX 1080 couldn't quite hit that target, but the Ti version does. If you're not running a 4K panel, but peradventure a 2,560x1,440-pixel gaming monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate, this GPU makes a lot of sense, as well.

Overall, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is a killer successor to the GTX 1080, which has at present seen its price drop to just $499 for base models. Instead of a balmy bump in operation, we got a huge boost, and it's going to tempt a lot of GTX 1080 owners out there, especially one time the overclocked versions go far from Nvidia's partners. For now, it's the top dog in the GPU earth, and it's going to take Nvidia's own next-generation architecture or—maybe—AMD's upcoming Vega gear to degrade it. Whether or not the latter will happen is everyone'south gauge. We tin can't wait to come across the fireworks.
