I know I know I'm a little late to the party but invidious GTX 1080 we're talking two thousand five hundred and sixty CUDA cores nine teraflops of floating-point performance and eight gigabytes of VRAM oh and I should mention at a price tag that rivals the GTX 980 t is seems a little too good to be true I want this video to be a little bit different because I'm gonna be honest I mean come on let's be real here you guys have already seen the other videos by the other big youtubers in regards to the 1080 so what I want to do in this video specifically is compare the 1080 s performance and specifications to that of the two current flagship Nvidia graphics cards the Titan X and the 980ti as I said in the beginning a single 1080 pax nine teraflops of performance compared to the Titan X is 7 and the 980ti 6.5 if you want to dig a little deeper than that you'll find that the 980 s came out to around 5.3 so it makes sense that when Nvidia said that 2 980 is an sli averaged around the same frame rates as a single 1080 if you just want to add those teraflops together and assume a 60 to 80% margin for SLI because you're not really gonna get 2 times the performance when you SLI anything or crossfire for that matter you get about 9 teraflops if you want to add them it doesn't work like that in real life but you can kind of gauge what in video was trying to tell you when they said that so expect literally twice the performance of a 980 and if you want to sli to 980 s you're barely gonna scrape the surface of what the 1080 can handle and for about twice the price of a 1080 as well that's pretty phenomenal another cool thing about the 1080 is the fact that it only requires a single 8 pin power connector compare this to the 980 which required to three pin power connectors on its reference card now the TDP s are roughly the same the 1080 does draw a bit more power but keep in mind it's literally twice as powerful as a 980 so that's pretty phenomenal in itself also keep in mind that as third-party manufacturers begin rolling out their versions of the 1080 the power allocation might change so maybe an 8 pin and a 6 pin will be present or 2 6 pins it will vary so just the reference version is what I'm referred to at this point in time only because the reference cooler is the one that you'll be able to buy come May 27 the 1080 will also house 8 gigabytes of gddr5 XML which is an improvement upon gddr5 which you'll find in most modern graphics cards this new memory will offer clock speeds approaching and exceeding 10 gigahertz which is about 3 gigahertz above what the 980 and the ti variants of the older generation maxwell cards were able to achieve with their gddr5 memory nonetheless eight gigabytes is definitely more than enough for 1080p in 1440p gaming now considering this card seems like it's targeted more towards 4k gaming and ultra wide 1440p gaming 8 gigabytes it's probably enough for a lot of triple-a titles in 4k as long as you don't max everything out but until we get our hands on the card we won't be able to gauge how much of Ihram we should expect to see or need for a card like this the cards also gonna come VR equipped which should be of no surprise at all but one thing Nvidia is saying is that this card is going to be twice as fast as the Titan X when it comes to handling VR workloads which is impressive in itself because the 1080 only has 2560 cuda cores compared to the Titan X's 3072 now keep in mind here we're talking about difference between 16 nanometer and 28 nanometer architectures that could play a huge role in terms of power allocation efficiency and overall effectiveness and processing these VR workloads but keep in mind that this is nvidia claim and no one else's so until we get our hands on the cards as I said earlier we're just gonna take that word for it it does seem a bit hard for me to personally believe that a card like the 1080 should perform twice as fast as the Titan X so we're definitely gonna have to get our hands on one of those and see for ourselves if this claim is true in terms of physical appearance not much has changed between the 980 and the 1080 reference cooler design save a few sharp edges that have been carved into the top of the 1080 which you won't see any way in most cases unless you have one of those cases that make your video card juxtapose upright vertically but in most cases you won't see that what you will see are the green lettering and the black backplate that are included with the card similar of course to of the 980 no surprise there it's very difficult to see what kind of cooling potential is housed inside the 1080 but I can imagine that given both cards reach about the same temperatures under load the same cooler from the 980 was implemented into the 1080 but you can't really fault a green team for that right I mean why would they spend more money to redesign a cooler that already would have worked in the first place well I seen before I go in vidi has been a bit misleading about the actual price of the 1080 so if you want one ordered May 27th and shipped May 27th you're gonna be paying 199 US dollars for their reference cooler stock founders edition 1080 if you want one for around 599 dollars which is a market of just a retail price for 1080 you're gonna be waiting a bit longer because these cards are going to be made by third-party manufacturers now the PCBs will be into the same in most cases sometimes they change them just for the heck of it but in most cases the PCB will be the same they're gonna put their own third party coolers on the ten eighty and sell them for around six hundred bucks this of course is just the suggested price by Nvidia these Rice's will very definitely so a card by a series may cost $650 and a card by gigabyte may cost 580 dollars I doubt it but you can see that the prices will vary so if you want to wait for those cheaper cards you will have to wait that's the point but if you want one upfront Nvidia is charging a $100 premium for their founders Edition 1080 with that said you're getting a lot for your money this card is phenomenally fast from what I've seen so far I cannot wait to get my hands on one in the studio stay tuned for that if you're interested in the 980 for whatever reason that's kind of gonna be a dead video after this week I imagine you can't check out the card above me and you kind of get a sense for what the 1080 will look like in terms of its actual reference design but apart from that stay tuned for 410 ATS everywhere all over YouTube all over the web seems to be a pretty good deal right with that said be sure to get the video a thumbs up if you think it deserves one give it a thumbs down if you think it doesn't and click the subscribe button if you haven't already stay tuned for more 1080 and 1070 stuff and our Z on 12:30 v5 build from skylake which will be coming tomorrow actually the last of my parts should be in tomorrow that'll be an awesome video stay tuned for that this is science studio thanks for learning with us
