Nvidia announces the geforce gtx 1080 ti

No major surprises in the way Nvidia has announced its new top of the range graphics card for gamers, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti that uses the advanced silicon Pascal GP102 to be 35% faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 and thus become the best x80 Ti released to date.

GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: features, availability and price

The Pascal GP102 graphics core consists of a total of 3584 CUDA Cores, 224 TMUs and 88 ROPs that operate at a maximum speed of 1.6 GHz to offer formidable performance, if you think it is not enough Nvidia has promised that the card will reach 2 GHz through overclocked in its Founders Edition reference model. The GPU is accompanied by 11 GB of GDDR5X memory at a speed of 11 GHz and a 352-bit interface, which translates into a bandwidth of 484 GB / s for excellent performance at high resolutions.

Its high bandwidth is coupled with a new memory compression technology to improve the speed of games at very high resolutions, Nvidia claims that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be able to move games like Deus EX: Mankind Divided or Watch Dogs 2 at 5K resolution. This new technology makes the card 35% faster than the GTX 1080 and in turn represents the biggest leap in performance from a GTX x80 to a GTX x80 Ti. Thanks to this, this new card is fully prepared to compete with the new generation of AMD based on the VEGA architecture and the advanced memory HBM2.

The characteristics of the Founders Edition model continue with a PCB based on a 7-phase VRM power supply that is capable of delivering up to 250A to the graphics core for great stability and that there are no problems with overclocking. It also has a slightly updated heatsink to handle its 220W TDP without problems , being 5ºC cooler than the GeForce GTX 1080 and with a 2.5 dBA lower loudness. The card is powered by two 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-Express connectors.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti arrives for an official price of $ 699 to which in the Spanish market we will have to add taxes so it will surely go above 800 euros, it will go on sale next week so there will be Pay attention to the prices of the stores.
