Nvidia is planning to release the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the recent leaks also have confirmed the existence of the upcoming graphics card and the specs. The main question that users have is how well the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will match up against GTX Titan X.
According to the leak by the hwbattle, the GTX 1080 Ti will be featuring a cut down GP102 GP and will be packing 3328 CUDA cores, 208 texture mapping units, 160 render output units and a base clock of 1503mhz for a total of 10 teraflops of computing horsepower.
Based on the specs, one can ensure that the 1080 Ti could very well be on its way to render its bigger brother the Titan X Pascal completely outdated.
If you're a PC gamer or a hardware enthusiast and you are paying close attention to the GPU market for the past couple of years then this rumored GTX 1080 Ti will not surprise you at all.
Firstly, the GTX 1080 Ti has been rumored to have a 12 GB GDDR5X memory, but it looks like the upcoming card will only have 10 GB of vRAM.
Although, the core count for the GTX 1080 Ti still has not been confirmed and it is speculated that the cores would be between the 3584 cores while the GTX Titan X sports and the lower 2560 cores the GTX 1080 carry.
There is also a small difference in the computing speed or Teraflops (TFLOPS) between the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the GTX Titan X Titan X have a TFLOPS of 11, while the TFLOPS of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is only lower by 0.2, coming in at 10.8 TFLOPS.
According to WCCFTech, despite the fewer CUDA cores, TMUs and ROPs, the GTX 1080 Ti will still have topping performance. For example the GTX 980 had 23% more CUDA cores with a higher clock speed compared to the GTX 970, but it ended up roughly 15% faster. We see this quite often with all full vs cut back GPUs. And the 1080 Ti will surely display similar behaviour when we compare it to the Titan X Pascal.
There is no confirmed price for the GTX 1080 Ti, but it is expected to be around the $1,000 range. The GTX Titan X will be having a price tag of around $1,200.
Nvidia is expected to release the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017, which is scheduled to run from Jan. 5 to 8, 2017.
