Why I Think The GTX 1080ti Will NOT have GDDR5X

2016-09-21
so on the last few days the Internet's been going crazy over GTX 10 atti rumors and the fact that that rumor featured the gravis card-carrying no GDR 5x on board I'm gonna give you guys my opinion today and let you know why I think this rumor could actually carry a lot of weight to what is down guys other than that memory on the upcoming GTX 1080i and that's exactly what I'm gonna be talking about today with you guys because we've got some rumors and they've been released and we're talking 3328 CUDA cause we're talking 12 gigabytes of gddr5 memory now I'm gonna stop there gddr5 memory not 5x which was featured on the GTX 1080 it was also featured on the Titan XP or the Pascal version of Titan and this is kind of an interesting rumor and one that I actually think is going to be true when we look at how everything operates and the first thing is micron are the only people producing 5 X at the moment and it costs more than GDR 5 which has been out for almost a decade now essentially so with that we can is see Nvidia try to pull off this play and the reason why they might get away with it is because the bandwidth shouldn't be too much of an issue when we look at the fact that it's got a 384 bit wide bus there on the memory as opposed to the GTX 1080 which only has 256 bits we can see that we've got a 50% increase there and then we look at the actual data rate of the memory we've got gddr5 memory the standard stuff pushing 8 gigabits per second so vs. 10 gigabits per second on the GDR 5x and now how this weighs into play here is a simple picture it like a highway you've got four lanes on the GTX 1080 you've got four trucks driving at an aggregate speed of 125 kilometers per hour now you've got a total speed there of about 500 kilometers per hour now if we contrast that to the theoretical gtx 980ti it's going to be released we can see that we've got six lanes now so we're bringing up another two lanes and we've got six trucks and they're traveling at a 100 km/h now we have a total speed of 600 kilometer per hour so we've got a 25% increase still on that memory bandwidth if we compare it to the GTX 1080 now we look at the cooter cause we're getting about thirty percent more CUDA cores there so 25 percent more memory bandwidth and we've got 30 percent more CUDA cores that kind of makes sense to me that they're going to play this play when it comes to the sales of the GTX 1080i not only that it's not going to distract too much away from the GTX 1080 sells itself if you guys remember the GTX 980 when the 980ti came out everyone just completely forgot about the GTX 980 I don't think NVIDIA wants a repeat of that I think they want to keep selling those GTX 1080s and they also want to keep selling the Titan X Peas as well so they can do that by simply giving the Titan X P 5x and giving the GTX 1080i non X and I think that way the hardcore gamers will still end up going out and buying that 1080i because it's like that price performance King play there it's the king of the graphics cards in the gaming world but it's also gonna have better price performance than a Titan XP and then GT X 1080 that's still gonna be a good play as well because it carries that 5x or at least people will think that way and they'll be inclined to go out and buy one over a 1080i they'll be like well I don't need that much performance I'm just gonna get the 1080 and save a bit of money as well now as for price we still don't exactly know how much this graph Scott's gonna cost and when it's exactly going to be released but I'm pretty sure we can expect this thing to be coming out maybe possibly just before Christmas or just after I think that's looking like the date when this card's gonna be released so yes 1080 TI huge specs there is gonna be a down cut tight and XP and I do think that they're going to cut down that memory bandwidth by using standard gddr5 though with that out of the way we hope the rumours here surfacing with a core clock of 1500 and 3 megahertz with a boos clock of 1623 now that's coming in under the GTX 1080 and since CUDA cores are a huge factor in performance for any graphics card from Nvidia we expect that that extra 25% bandwidth avail the memory shouldn't be too much of a problem because it doesn't carry the 5x and we've got those lower clock speeds it pretty much evens out so you can start to see that this room ah carries a lot more weight when you think about it probably now although a lot of people out there like well you know 5x has the ability to process 64 bits of data per pin as opposed to standard memory which only can process 32 bits and that's a valid concern except it doesn't apply to gaming so you know that's out the window when we make those valid comparisons with the GTS 1080 versus the 1070 we can see that the GTX 1080 really only carries that extra speed on the memory itself due to the faster memory and then the last point that I believe makes this room a solid is the fact that we've already got the gtx 1070 out there in the wild this thing sporting gddr5 memory and it's got the same die as the GTX 1080 which is sporting GDR 5 X memory so what we can see here is one has the 5 X one has the standard 5 and they're both the same die both pretty much on the same PCB layout there it's pretty much the same configuration but in videos shown the market already that they can do this they can pull this off with the GPUs so I think that this is actually going to be a realistic play from Nvidia especially with that memory compression being upgraded with Pascal over maxwell's anyways that's just my opinion on the 1080 Ti I hope you enjoyed this little video sort of gameplay commentary I had it's been a while since I've done one of these I've just set up my new V 67 G microphone from MXL pretty damn sexy microphone I hopefully it sounds pretty good as well so let me know what you guys think in the comments section below - do you agree or do you disagree do you think that the GTX 1080 Ti is going to carry that lower grade GD r v memory versus the gt-r 5 X and if so why or why not I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions and if you like
