After the recent CES snub, NVIDIA plans to release the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in a series of gaming festivals called PAX East in Boston this coming March, according to latest rumors.
During the CES event in Las Vegas, the most awaited and most controversial GTX 1080 Ti of NVIDIA has missed the spotlight, with rumors hinting that the chipset was spotted in Gigabyte's booth. In one of Gigabyte's showcase, featuring the newest Aorus-based GPUs, the card's two 8-pin PCIe connectors and actual graphics core were unveiled, hinting an NVIDIA integration.
The upcoming release of the GTX 1080 Ti is even supported by the company's job listing that was posted last month for the Senior Marketing Manager position. The said job listing emphasizes the candidate's duties of ensuring that GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card owners get priority in line for GeForce GTX 1080 Ti pre-orders, MNA reported.
In the meantime, the California-based tech manufacturer intends to release the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti during the first quarter of 2017, although the target date has not been confirmed. The official unveiling of the GTX 1080 Ti will reportedly happen during the upcoming PAX East event, which will be held in Boston from March 10 to 12.
Based on the Nvidia's Pascal architecture, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will provide a major boost to gaming systems, Enstarz reported. Compared to its previous chipsets, the Ti boasts an estimated 12 billion transistors, compared to 7.2 billion on the GTX 1080, while sporting a RAM that is 4.8GB faster than its predecessor. It will also sport a GDDRX5 type RAM, which is a higher bandwidth variant of the regular GDDR.
While Nvidia's newest graphics flagship consists of 3,328 CUDA cores, the Ti maintains a better clock rate. At 1,503MHz, the next GeForce chip is better than the Titan's 1,417MHz performance. With a 384-bit bus giving extra memory, the Ti's bandwidth could boost up to 480GB/s. This performance could guarantee the next graphics processor a 10.8TFLOPS when operating.
Hinting at a potentially superior performance, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti could give a large figure of cost, with its price ranging may be somewhere between $630 and $1200.
