NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti: Graphics card to have better performance than Titan X, powerful memory clock and more

If new reports are anything to go by, NVIDIA will reveal the new GTX 1080 Ti in 2017.

Speculations are doing the rounds that the upcoming NVIDIA graphics card will be presented at the CES 2017. It is said that the GTX 1080 Ti will boast some of the featured specifications of the earlier released Pascal Titan X, the GTX 1080 and Pascal GPUs. The forthcoming Pascal graphics card will have improvements over its predecessors.

The new NVIDIA graphics card will have cut downs in terms of CUDA cores and GPU, but will have better performance than the Titan X. Several reports suggest that the graphic chip that has a cut back version provides better performance than its high-end alternate.

The GTX 1080 Ti will have 3328 CUDA cores, a somewhat lower number compared to the Titan X, according to a Digital Trends report. Furthermore, the GTX 1080 Ti will just have 208 TMUs compared to the 224 TMUs that the Titan X has.

Reports suggest that the GTX 1080 Ti will be powered by a Pascal P104-400-A1. Players can expect high frames per second rate with the GTX 1080 Ti, together with the 8GB GFFR5X and 256-bit memory. Also, it is expected to boast a powerful memory clock - 1,251MHz.

The GTX 1080 Ti will not be as expensive as the Pascal Titan X that is seen for the moment as the more superior video card. According to reports, the GTX 1080 Ti will possibly cost more than the GTX 1050 Ti that at present costs $140.

It is likely that NVIDIA will face a competition with its top competitor in the market, AMD, particularly that the forthcoming AMD graphics card that is based on Vega architecture will be released in 2017. The graphics card will be pitted against the Radeon RX 490 that will be AMD'S first Vega-based GPU.

The latest graphics card will reportedly have less components for enhanced performance.
NVIDIA said that Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and co-founder of the company, will host the CES in January next year. It is expected that Huang will bring groundbreaking news in the areas of gaming, self-driving cars, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
