we all knew it was coming when Nvidia announced the GTX 1080 last year there was already speculation that the GTX 10 atti would launch shortly and I guess they were running on valve time though in their defense that is still quite a bit better than AMD time at this point so here we are then 10 months later and we finally got the latest Titan killer from Nvidia and at roughly half the cost get amped HP's new omen X lineup comes equipped with Intel's seventh generation Core i7 processor check it out at the link in the video description so the GPU market has been pretty quiet lately and for good reason there just hasn't really been much in the way of direct competition between our beloved red and green giants since nvidia has stuck to the high end for their 16 nanometer product launches and AMD has been busy building out their mid-range and budget lineup thankfully for those of us who are interested in the high-end Nvidia has graciously decided that they're just plumb old sick of selling GP 102 video cards for over $1000 and turned it up to 11 with the GT X 1080 Ti the founders edition flavor of which they've sent over for our evaluation it's got 11 gigs of gddr5 X memory at 11 gigabit per second I see what they did there which is 1 gigabyte less than the Titan XP but at a higher speed to substantially increase memory throughput good thing too because we go from a 384 bit memory bus down to 352 bit it has the same number of cuda cores at 3584 and while they share the same transistor count of 12 million the 1080 TI's cores boost up to a rated 1582 megahertz instead of 1531 so far so good but what the 1080 TI lacks compared to the Titan XP and I mean aside from the DVI port that they ditched in favor of more exhaust room for the fan is ROPS I mean to be clear it has them just fewer we go from 96 down to 88 while also losing 256 kilobytes of level 2 cache which is a part of what allows NVIDIA to build the 1080 Ti for less but how is that going to affect performance is it possible that this time Titan XP owners will get to continue to enjoy a performance advantage however small in return for that hefty early adopter tax they paid well in our lineup is the Titan XP the new kids little brother GT X 1080 the last gen gtx 980ti then it directly replaces and for giggles since you can't even really buy one we've also included AMD's fastest GPU to date the Radeon r9 fury X so that then is business as usual but wait there's something different our Intel test bench will have a core i7 7700 K and our AMD test bench whoa two test benches will have a risin 7 1800 X on a gigabyte horas a X 370 gaming 5 because max dropped our aces crosshair 6 why both you might ask well because if you've been waiting for Rison and the GT X 1080 Ti to drop in order to start your next upgrade or new build well you're probably also waiting for benchmarks that combine the two so don't worry then hypothetical viewer we've got you covered we'll kick things off with Deus Ex mankind divided in DirectX 11 on the AMD platform our 1080 TI was neck-and-neck with the Titan XP and on our Intel bench actually beat it out moving into DirectX 12 we see the Nvidia lineup stumble somewhat with the 1080 TI appearing to take one of the smallest hits along with the Titan XP meanwhile the fury X gained some frames good news for all the forward-thinking AMD users out there rise of the Tomb Raider in DirectX 11 mode sees the 1080 Ti pull ahead of the pack on the Intel system while it falls slightly behind on AMD with this story ending about the same way that Deus Ex did with a modest performance drop in DirectX 12 mode in for honor on the other hand the 1080i pulls ahead on both test bench with the older 980ti and fury X virtually tied at the bottom and Grand Theft Auto 5 tells the same gangland tale though it clearly favors the extra threads available on Rison with a significantly higher minimum frame rate on that platform versus intel doom meanwhile found the opposite was true ripping and tearing with fewer threads and placing our 1080 TI in both tests within the margin of error of the Titan XP rounding out our game tests then is Crysis 3 which seems to perform about on par between our platforms and exactly the same on our rise in bench 3dmark pitches in for our synthetic benchmarks here finding the 1080 Ti at the top of the pile in both fire strike ultra and time spy and our rise in bench performing better overall thanks to 3d mark favoring higher core counts over per thread performance at least to a point the 1080 TI matches our tight necks peas thermals pretty closely which in spite of Nvidia's marketing about two times larger airflow path which doesn't really work that way is no surprise given that it runs the same DP 102 GPU and is rated at the same 250 watt TDP we found that it idled slightly warmer than the Titan XP while at full burn it maintained 85 degrees at 2300 223 85 megahertz on the core thanks to GPU boost 2.0 ok then so clearly the 1080 Ti is a powerful card they let $700 like it freaking better be more importantly is it a good value well compared to the Titan XP it certainly is but then again what wouldn't be so how does it hold up against the rest of our test stable well to find out we've compiled the average FPS for each of our game tests then divided the available cards by their brand new price or the unavailable ones by the going rate on eBay as well as the last price we can find for them new so on both test benches the 1080 TI FPS per dollar works out to about point zero eight four very similar actually a little better than the gtx ten eighty TI with the 980 TI and the fury x both looking great if you're buying them used but definitely not as good if you go by what we used to have to pay for that kind of performance which I suppose gives us our conclusion then at $6.99 us the 1080 TI is only cheap if you wipe your butt with AMD rx for 80s and game on a recreation of the compensator 2.0 but it trades blows with the Titan XP as the fastest video card we've ever seen and more importantly it actually holds its own when it comes to FPS per dollar to not perhaps compared to lower tier products like the aforementioned our X 480 but certainly among other top-tier GPUs which is pretty cool if you want to have a beautiful website for only $12 a month and if you sign it for a year you
