Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Coming January 2017, Debuting At CES

The GTX 1080 Ti is planned for an initial debut in January 2017 with availability scheduled to trickle in soon after. Pricing wise all reports indicate that it will be significantly less expensive than the Titan X. However, we haven't heard of a specific MSRP yet. Which isn't surprising, considering the launch is still relatively far out in time. It's safe to assume that no final MSRP has been decided on at this for competitive reasons

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, A Price Cut Titan X Pascal For The Masses

Just a couple of weeks ago we reported that Nvidia's announcement that its CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was going to "break news" regarding a new gaming product. A couple of weeks before that we reported on the alleged GTX 1080 Ti specifications that surfaced on the web. Which indicated that the 1080 Ti will, for all intents and purposes, render the GTX Titan X Pascal effectively obsolete. Delivering nearly identical performance with an identical memory capacity at a significantly lower price.

The GTX 1080 Ti will be powered by a slightly cut back variant of the GP102 GPU. 52 out of a total of 60 SMs are enabled with the remainder 8 SMs lasered off. This is only four SMs fewer than the GP102 variant used to power the GTX Titan X Pascal, Nvidia's fastest graphics card to date. Although the GTX 1080 Ti will come with fewer functional CUDA cores than its bigger brother, it will actually perform just as well.

Cutting a few more SMs from GP102 has more to do with improving yields rather than roping in performance. In fact, to make up for the cut SMs Nvidia has reportedly pushed the clock speeds up significantly compared to the Titan X Pascal. The result is 10.8 teraflops of FP32 compute compared to the Titan X's 11. Furthermore, because Nvidia is allowing its partners to go wild with designs we're bound to see factory overclocked 1080 Ti's that outperform the Titan X right out of the box. Very much exactly like what we had seen with the GTX 980 Ti & the original Titan X last year.

Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Specs - 3328 CUDA Cores, 12GB GDDR5X, 1.6Ghz Boost Clock & 250W TDP

At the heart of the GTX 1080 Ti is Nvidia's flagship gaming graphics processing unit, code named GP102. In terms of compute throughput & resources, GP102 has exactly 50% more of everything compared to GP104, the GPU that powers the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards. We're talking 50% more CUDA cores, 50% more TMUs & ROPs, 50% larger cache & 50% wider memory interface. It also happens to be exactly 50% larger than the 314mm² GP104.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Rumored Specs:

  • GPU : GP102
  • Process : TSMC 16FF
  • Die Size : 471mm²
  • Transistors : 12 Billion
  • SMs : 52
  • CUDA Cores : 3328
  • Core Clock : ~1.5Ghz
  • Boost Clock : ~1.6Ghz
  • Peak FP32 Compute : 10.8 TFLOPs
  • Memory Interface : 384bit
  • Memory : 12GB GDDR5X
  • Bandwidth : 480GB/s
  • TDP - 250W

Id be happy with 700, id even pay 800 if it performance like a titan XP. 1080 TI FTW for like 799, take my money EVGA>

If true this is my next card, that is unless AMD releases Vega in the same time frame & it can at least match this, if not the 1080ti it is. TBH I'll be shocked if turns out to be true, not because of WCCFTech's rep, but because as it stands Nvidia has absolutely no competition from the 1070 & up! Maybe AMD has a monster they're hiding because I can really see no other reason for NV to be doing this.

January is far away.

At least it hope it is... Why must I be stuck in a hotel in some random city instead of at home playing with my Titan XP. It really makes early adoption less of a benefit.

If they have dies that aren't up to Titan X standards but can be cut down for this card, they may as well put them on a card and sell them. What else are you going to do with them, let them sit in a warehouse somewhere?

This is so true it isn't funny. It would make them releasing the 780Ti after I bought my SLI OG Titans seem perfectly reasonable.

$899 seems more likely to me, to stay away from the high end 1080s. If it is $699 then you know Vega is at least as fast as it.

You do got a good point & are right there. Although I would more expect this under the Titan branding if that were the case. Maybe get rid of the X & just call it a Titan because the chips are not up to snuff. That way NV could get close to the Titan X price for it. Releasing it as the 1080ti feels like they are setting up to compete with something. Although we still have yet to hear the MSRP (not that it means anything nowadays apparently) & it could be closer to a 1k than we're all expecting.

Guess someone hasn't followed technology for the past half a century. If you see AMD or Nvidia releasing something better performing for barely more than something you bought half a year ago, well that is just technology moving forward. Get over it (and I say this as a 1080 owner). I could care less if it priced closely to the GTX 1080. I spent my money for what I needed now, not later.

$799.99 MSRP and $899.99 for founder's edition.

If the 1080Ti and Pascal Titan are the same chip with different # of cuda cores enabled it makes sense to sell each chip for as many enabled as yield allows. Might as well sell as many chips as possible instead of tossing 3/4 of a good chip. As some point there is a crossover where semi companies just make smaller chips with like half the cores instead of cutting back the cores of a big die.

welp, looks like my upgrade budget for this winter just doubled.

Even if Nvidia says $800, I'd bet you wont see them for less than $900 until AMD has something equal or better.

First time buying a GPU or something? This happens all the time. I paid $320 for an X1900XT two months before G80 released, I felt a little miffed, but its not the end of the world. Two years on (of playing all games but Crysis at max setting at 1680x1050) I got a 9800GT for like $140. Get your money's worth out of your card, don't worry about what everyone else has. It's not like your GTX 1080 suddenly performs worse because of this announcement.
