excellent so yesterday and video launched their GeForce GTX 1080i continuing their time-honored tradition of making a faster GPU with ATI on the end I have a set of benchmarks at 4 km 1440 with overclocking included for you guys today the first let's plow through the requisite specs and pricing info this is the 1080 Ti founders Edition the reference design from Nvidia essentially and they are not charging 100 bucks 100 bucks extra for it this time the founders Edition and third party designs which are expected in April will have a base price as $700 in third-party designs will probably go up from there depending on how premium they are the DC X 1080 price is dropped to $500 meanwhile and somehow all of this seems relatively affordable that is if your relatives happen to be rich and willing to give you money to buy high end graphics cards Nvidia claims that the 1080 Ti is 35% faster than the 1080 and we're going to find out for sure in just a moment when we get to the benchmarks as per spekt the 1080 Ti is based on the 60 nanometer Pascal architecture it uses the GP 102 GPU specifically which is the same one that's used in in Titan XP and it sports 3584 CUDA cores across 28 streaming multi processors GPU itself has 12 billion transistors and a larger diocese in the 1080 at 471 square millimeters there's 11 gigabytes of gddr5 X memory by way of 11 32-bit memory controllers or a sort of odd 352 bit bus width and the V Ram has also been refined even further by Nvidia and their partners to run at 11 gigabits per second the TDP for the card is 250 watts a 600 watt power supply is recommended for your whole system and the card and the sounders Edition requires one 6 pin and one 8 pin PCI Express power connector physically the founders Edition 1080 CI looks pretty much the same as the founders Edition 1080 with the die cast aluminum shroud and blower style fan although it does have a completely redesigned PCB and power delivery system also there are only for display outs on the back 3 DisplayPort and one HDMI 2.0 you lose a DVI out but Nvidia did include a DP to DVI adapter at least in their retail packaging the upshot is that there's a lot more space back there that's cleared for the cards exhaust stuff for hot air to escape the card measure is 10.5 inches long and so it should fit in smaller systems where over built third-party designs might not for today's benchmarks I'm comparing an overclocked GT X 1080 Strix Edition from Asus width to 1080 TI both in its stock and me overclocked configurations the testbed is my perfect RGB system back there that I built a month or two ago with an i7 7700 K running at 4.9 gigahertz 32 gigs of GCL Trident VR GB memory at 3,000 megahertz an ASUS Maximus 9 hero motherboard and the xt kraken X 62 CPU cooler 750 watt EVGA supernova g2 power supply and an OC z Toshiba RG 400 one terabyte nvme SSD all on a fan Tex and through evolved tempered glass case so taking a look at GPU frequencies first you can see my overclock on the 1080 Strix which hit about 2000 88 megahertz on the GPU core max level is leveling out to about two thousand sixty two when temperatures increased under load the 1080i at stock is much more conservative with the basin boost clocks but GPU boost hit 18:48 max unfortunately it falls off quite a bit under load averaging about 1620 in my testing I used EVGA precision x OC to overclock v10 80 TI managing to hit eleven thousand four hundred megabits per second on the memory and two thousand 88 megahertz max GPU frequency but again that dropped down to the mid to low 1900s about 1936 on average after the GPU heated up here's a look at my benchmarks with all three GPU configurations so that's not immediately obvious 210 atti is very fast and significantly faster than a 1080 the game tested matters quite a bit of course the scores were very much closer in a more CPU limited game like six for example but to 1080 CI is undeniably the fastest graphics card now available lets you count to tighten XP which according to j it still beats most of the time the only false to be found with the 1080 TIR if you actually take in videos 35 percent faster claims seriously and if you look a little bit more closely at thermals i suppose the price as well but we've already talked about that overall in my test the overclocked 1080 TI was about 21 percent faster than the overclocked 1080 strix you can see that 35% number in some games and if you're comparing stock speeds between the cards or especially if you compare the stock 1082 and overclock to 1080 TI but i think if you are seeing disappointment there it was mainly just his nvidia over-promised just a bit pratense though i hit 80 85 and 90 feet respectively max temperature and the GPU boost throttling is definitely a factor with a 1080 TI when the temperatures start to creep up for this reason i will sum up by saying that i think you should wait until april for the third-party 1080 t eyes to see what can be done to achieve higher clock speeds and better thermals the founders edition here is great for small form-factor builds and for system integrators but for DIY builders i think one of the really cool look in 1080 TI designs which are already starting to be teased by some third-party and manufactures will be a better bet finally here is the bang for your buck slide frames per dollar across all my game tests and even at $700 MSRP the 1080 TI is still keeping it in the buck 62 buck 80 range just FYI the actual Strix 1080 that I use cost about $550 right now but since most 1080 scan Otzi pretty well I left the MSRP of 500 bucks on there so that would be a little bit less than the dollars per frame performance if I was charging it $550 which you - have to pay for it obviously the 1080p is for people with deeper pockets but it is nice to know that you're not paying too much of a premium for the top-end GPU in is stable and that is all for my 1080 TI review guys I
