NVIDIA might have revealed the highly-anticipated GTX 1080 Ti earlier than expected. The video card company has a new GPU subscription club and an upgrade path for owners of GTX 980 Ti.
The GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 are enough for most hardcore gamers while the new Pascal Titan video card certainly is overkill in terms of performance and price. NVIDIA's new GTX 1080 Ti is expected to bridge the gap between the 1080 and the Titan with a moderate price tag.
One LinkedIn job listing, which has already been deleted, mentioned a senior marketing manager post and a potential upgrade offer for the much-awaited NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti, Tech Radar has learned. The post's removal just adds up to the credibility of the leak.
Another interesting detail is the Club GeForce Elite that will allow players to play from a bundle of free games for only $10 per month. The games will be rotated each month which means that the bundle is for those who game every day as to not waste the subscription.
There are also other unnamed perks that are expected to be better than the current GeForce Experience users. Some of the possible perks include the usual free codes for beta plays or skins in various video games such as "League of Legends" and "DOTA 2."
PC gamers are more excited about the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti because it will have increased CUDA cores of more than 3300, according to Trusted Reviews. It will have a lower clock speed compared to the GTX 1080 but it will certainly faster thanks to the higher count of CUDA cores.
In terms of raw graphical horsepower, the GTX 1080 Ti has 1.8 TFLOPs more than the GTX 1080 and just 0.2 TFLOPs less than the Pascal Titan X. NVIDIA is reportedly planning to unveil the video card at the upcoming CES 2017 event in Las Vegas.
