We’ll start as always with the GPU at the heart of the card, GP102. BioShock Infinite gave the GTX 1080 Ti its stiffest test at 1080p and 1440p, and while that’s still the case at 4K, with its 36.9 percent advantage over the 1080, it’s inline with Nvidia’s performance assertion for the card.

At any rate, we knew that NVIDIA would release a GP102 card for the GeForce market sooner or later, and at long last it’s here. Built on the 16 nm process, and based on the GP102 graphics processor, in its GP102-350-K1-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Up until now, no GPU has been able to garner an above 30 FPS average in the graphically-demanding Metro Last Light benchmark at 4K. At 1080p, the Ti was able to beat the GTX 1080 by 20.2 percent. But with improved yields broken chips should be less of a problem in production so it’s conceivable for Nvidia to start thinking about using the full 3,840 core chip to fill out a refreshed line of Titan cards.
Speaking of memory, as I mentioned before the card will be shipping with 11 pieces of 11Gbps GDDR5X. should only be used as a frame of reference against other cards within the same GPU family for any apples-to-apples comparisons. If the top Vega can outperform the 1080ti than they just may release a 1080ti version 2 with all 30 sm's enabled instead of 28 and full rops and memory controller with 12gbps gddr5x as it's available now too. There, it averaged frame rates in the mid to high 50s, which is still highly playable. Just in time for Pi Day, NVIDIA will be launching the card on the week of March 5th (Update: an exact date has finally been revealed: Friday, March 10th). That’s not a huge loss, and the Ti was still able to produce an incredibly high 154.5 average FPS, but it’s still a loss.

When I take the average of my 16 benchmarks, the GTX 1080 Ti performs 30.2 percent better than the GTX 1080. The GTX 1080 Ti has a much higher 250-watt TDP than the GTX 1080’s 180-watt equivalent. GTX 1080 Ti ships with 28 of GP102’s 30 SMs enabled. In fact they had to correct them; originally they had IN… https://t.co/BgrkSbduPS, @chiakokhua @SteakandChickn @Cardyak @david_schor @IanCutress Fair enough, good on them if they actually manage to… https://t.co/dD7cRxW9VN, @IanCutress @benwood @ThreeUK @shauncollins @kestermann @ali07 It's true unlimited AFAIK. The 1080 Ti is based on the Pascal architecture and features a slightly modified version of the same flagship GP102 silicon found in the Titan X Pascal. Meanwhile the end result of removing the DVI port means that the GTX 1080 Ti’s display I/O has been pared down to just a mix of HDMI and DisplayPorts. Built … Crucially, this means that the GTX 1080 Ti gets the same 4:1 INT8 performance ratio of the Titan, which is critical to the cards’ high neural networking inference performance. The company has used the moniker for their higher-performance cards since the GTX 700 series back in 2013. Importantly however, unlike the GTX 1080 & GTX 1070, NVIDIA has done away with the Founder’s Edition premium for the GTX 1080 Ti. Altogether we’re looking at 3x DisplayPort 1.4 ports and 1x HDMI 2.0 port.
However what the GTX 1080 Ti lacks in functional units it’s partially making up in clockspeeds, both in regards to the core and the memory. I attempted to recreate those results. The GTX 1080 Ti is able to max out Battlefield 1 at 4K with above 60 average FPS. Combined with the 352-bit memory bus, and we’re looking at 484GB/sec of memory bandwidth for the GTX 1080 Ti. This is six degrees C shy of the card’s thermal limit. For AMD it's Compute Units x 64 (64 cores per CU) x 2 x clockspeed. The end result is that NVIDIA is promising a decent increase in cooling performance relative to the GTX 980 Ti and similar designs. Yet Jen-Hsun made no mention of refreshing the Titan X with the same memory configuration.
In the Unigine Valley synthetic graphics benchmark, the Ti outperforms the GTX 1080 by 11 percent. While the Ti greatly falls short of Nvidia’s lofty claims for the card at 1080p, my results ultimately show that the card is still grossly overkill for standard HD panels. While that’s a definitive win for the Ti, it represents a more modest gain. @BitsAndChipsEng @nerdtechgasm The issue is that they've had three naming schemes.
