NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti release pegged for January 2017; GPU to sport 10GB RAM

NVIDIA is expected to unveil the GTX 1080 Ti at the Consumers Electronics Show (CES) to be held in January 2017. The said GPU is claimed to sport an enormous 10GB RAM.

Graphics card maker NVIDIA will be unveiling the company's high-end GP102 GPU on the highly anticipated CES 2017 in Las Vegas and the specs are also expected to be finally revealed, Mobile &Apps had learned. Some reports also suggest that the GTX 1080 Ti bridge the gap between the 1080 and the Pascal Titan X.

This may be validated as China advises that GTX 1080 Ti will have features similar to Titan X. So considering that the GTX 1080 has 8GB of RAM, and the Titan X features 12GB of RAM, the GTX 1080 Ti might be positioned in the middle with 10GB of RAM.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is anticipated to utilize NVIDIA's GP102 GPU which was also used on the Titan X. Additionally, the 384-bit memory interface is more than welcome for those who want to game at 4K so the high-res textures will have more room.

NVIDIA's GTX 1080 Ti might be engineered with 3328 CUDA cores, Latin Post reported. It may also be powered by a 1.6 GHz boost clock which leads to an amazing 10.8 TFLOPs of graphics power.

The upcoming GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is anticipated to carry Titan X Pascal lead performance at a significantly lower cost. Also, this chipset is supposed to have a thermal design power of 250 watts putting it in the same bench as the Titan X, which is not really the best choice for those who are looking for more value. New games such as "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" and "Battlefield 1" will benefit most from the new video card which is expected to be revealed soon.

When it comes with the price, the GTX 1080 Ti might arrive for $999-$1150. Nonetheless, these are just based on speculations and it is further to be confirmed by NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang as he might be initial keynote speaker at CES 2017. Fans should not expect much even if most of the rumors and hearsay turn out to be true.
