GTX 1080 Ti Review - Is ULTRA 21:9 1440p 100hz Possible?!

2017-03-24
here's a videos latest graphics card the gtx 1080i and today we're going to take a look at how this card compares to all the heavyweights out there and also some of the new features being offered welcome back to tech city and here we have the 1080i founders Edition which was sent out as a review sample and features the cooler that's separately weighs in at seven hundred and five grand and has a seven phase double vrm that features fairchild fdpc eight zero one six s DOOL DOOL MOSFETs they're actually two both phase which helps with power efficiency and thermals which are rated at sixty and a hundred ads of 25 degrees Celsius and for the chokes we have n P I M r22 is rated at 40 amps and besides that is handle and capacitors there's also a thin backplate to add to the feel of the product and stop GPU sag though enough of the technical talk let's get straight to the benchmarks where I put the 1080 P I up against the previous king of the hill the GTX 1080 and also 2015 king of the hill the 980ti all being overclocked by the way so let's take a look at the benchmark rig specs and all the overclock on the cards specified in this video and then roll some numbers for you guys there it is the GTX 10a DTI and at Ultra we really didn't see a huge gain which was to be expected since we were starting to get some CPU bottlenecks at this resolution however when we look at the 1440p ultra wide benchmarks that's when the 1080 TI really starts to shine with about a 30% increase from the GTX 1080 and about a 55% increase over the Maxwell base 980ti discards 3584 CUDA cords 11 gigabytes of 11 gigabits per second rated tdg l5x really stops stretching its legs and I imagine that the 35% claim from Nvidia would be about right for 4k gaming keep in mind though that I did overclock all these cards and the GT x 1080 was about 100 megahertz faster than the GTX 1080 TI 2 gigahertz overclock the temperatures were getting a little high overclock on the 1080p ion stock fan setting however they work pretty quiet at these settings though to keep temperatures down and overclock higher one will want to increase the fan speeds which will make it not as quiet as some of the aftermarket solutions out there though one benefit to the founders addition card is that it will pull air out of the case instead of aftermarket solutions which will usually tend to dump it inside the case so the 1080 TI for gaming is essentially the new king of the hill though the card does come in at a steep price point of $700 which may be expensive for a lot of people however to be honest in the GPU market over the last few years we have seen nothing but gains on end which does leave a smile on businesses face and with this performance shown here today does justify the price especially when we compare it to the CPU market where things has been quite slow and gotten really really expensive really really quickly for a flagship product they're speaking of flagships in the GPU arena itself the Titan XP was the card on top and it does have 96 Rob's first 88 on the 1080 Ti and does have more level to cash coming in at 3072 kilobytes versus 2,816 it also has one gigabyte more of gddr5 ex memories and a slightly larger buff though the 1080p eye makes up for this with faster memory and actually comes out slightly ahead in terms of max theoretical speed Nvidia also introduced a new technology in their drivers called Ansel which when I tried it out in Mass Effect Andromeda I was really impressed it essentially just tosses the game when you press old f2 and then you can zoom in rotate the camera change colors and saturation and get such a unique shot that can really add an additional element of fun to the game ultimately ended up really liking this feature and I think it's a great option for those who like to do a bit of artwork and or thumbnails for example it can make for some really cool and unique shot there's also been another major focus with the release of the GT X 1080 Ti and that's on direct text well where the api's optimizations come mainly from the game developers and not the driver implementation itself unlike DX 11 where the driver is so crucial so in video have claimed some massive improvements with recent driver releases something I will put to the test very soon in a separate video and they have also recently introduced VR works 2 which makes us some improvements in VR performance so I haven't tested this nor do I own a VR headset due to getting vertigo when wearing most headsets unless we're looking at the outputs on this card there are three DisplayPort 1.4 out and one HDMI 2.0 out though you may notice that there is no DVI port which has been removed to apparently help with air flow so Nvidia does include a DisplayPort to DVI connector to combat this and likely to put everything into context for you guys the GTX 1080 Ti is quite simply a beast of a graphics card it's mainly intended for the high-end gaming market with people with monitors such as a 1440p ultra wide hundred Hertz display or a 1440p 140 her display or even a 4k 60 Hertz monitor these are the type of resolutions where this card will absolutely kick some bootay sorry guys let me know what you think of the gtx 980ti and what would you do for one I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon he's out for now bye
