In April, Nvidia announced the GP100 graphics core, the true top-of-the-range solution for the professional sector that would come to replace the current TITAN X. These new graphics cards based on the GP100 core would launch presumably during the year 2017 and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was expected to use this core but with some features cut to reduce costs, this would not be the case, and according to the rumor that comes From Wccftech, the GTX 1080 Ti will use a completely new core, the GP102.

GTX 1080 Ti based on GP102 and with GDDR5X memory

According to the source, the non-use of the Pascal GP100 core in the GTX 1080 Ti is due to the fact that there are characteristics that would not make it recommended for general use, such as the high number of FP64 shaders, unnecessary for a graphics dedicated to games. They also indicate that the GTX 1080 Ti will not use the new HBM2 memories but will have the traditional GDDR5X, although this is not entirely clear yet. But it would be a great stick for PC foodies!

Technical characteristics of the GTX 1080 ti

From what we can check in the specifications, the number of shaders of the GTX 1080 Ti compared to the ' normal ' GTX 1080 is quite large, from 2, 560 to 3, 840 shader units, this should be a huge performance gain in addition of the number of transistors reaching 10.8 billion on the GTX 1080 Ti compared to 7.2 billion on the ' normal ' GTX 1080.

While we recommend our review of the GTX 1080 and the guide to the best graphics cards.

At the moment it is impossible to know when the GTX 1080 Ti will be launched on the market, but if this information is true, there will be a big jump in performance compared to its "younger brother" that launches in a matter of hours. How much will the difference be between the GTX 1080 Ti and the recent GTX 1080? Well, there is talk of 40 to 50%… that is, it will leave the GTX 980 Ti in panties. What do you think?

We will see if AMD can rise to the competition with its VEGA graphic architecture that would arrive during the month of October.
