Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Specs Leaked - 3328 CUDA Cores & 12GB GDDR5X, Powered By GP102 GPU

The specs for Nvidia'due south hotly anticipated GP102 powered GTX 1080 Ti have been leaked & it's quite the functioning beast. This 1 is hot off the trail of contempo Pascal leaks pertaining to the GP102 GPU and the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Ten Pascal. Based on the specs we're bringing you today the 1080 Ti could very well be on its manner to render its bigger brother the Titan X Pascal completely obsolete.

Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Specs Leaked - 3328 CUDA Cores & 12GB GDDR5X Memory

At present, to the specs. According to the leak the GTX 1080 Ti features a cut downwardly GP102 GPU. Packing 3328 CUDA cores, 208 texture mapping units, 160 render output units and a base clock of 1503mhz for a total of ten teraflops of computing horsepower.

Titan Ten Pascal Performance For A Lot Less, A Repeat Of The 980 Ti vs Titan X?

If you're a PC gamer or a hardware enthusiast that's been paying close attending to the GPU market for the by couple of years then this rumored GTX 1080 Ti shouldn't surprise you at all. The cut dorsum versions of whatever graphics chip are near ever the meliorate buy. They evangelize a huge chunk of the performance of their higher-cease counterparts at a fraction of the cost.

We've seen this happen with every graphics generation that both Nvidia and AMD take introduced for years. We've seen information technology happen with Nvidia's GTX 980 Ti & Titan X, with the 970 & 980, with the 780 Ti and Titan, with the GTX 670 and the 680. And once more the exact same tendency on AMD's side. The R9 390 offered 90% of the performance delivered past the 390X for a fraction of the cost. Nosotros've seen it with the 290 and 290X, 7950 and 7970 and the trend goes dorsum more than a decade. In every one of those examples the cut dorsum version of the very same chip delivers most of its counterpart'due south performance at a much lower price point.

This is why in whatever given generation of graphics cards, gamers have always overwhelmingly chosen to to get with the second fastest graphics card in thelineup. It'due south well-nigh certainly always the smarter decision. You just get a lot more for your coin. The GTX 1080 Ti is definitely not an exception. If you're a gamer that's looking to upgrade to a new higher resolution monitor or just want more performance for whatever number of good reasons then the GTX 1070 will exist the Pascal bill of fare y'all'll want to get.

Titan X Pascal Minus 2 SMs Is Still A LOT of Horsepower

Inside Nvidia'due south 12 billion 471mm² GP102 GPU that powers the GTX Titan Ten there's a total of 3840 CUDA cores, grouped into xxx Streaming Multiprocessors bundled into sixGraphics Processing Clusters. Each SM houses 128 CUDA cores. The 1080 Ti having 3328 CUDA cores means we're looking at iv SMs fewer than the Titan X & viii fewer than what the full scrap has . Within every SM in that location are eight Texture Mapping Units and inside every GPC there are v SMs and a total of sixteen Render Output Units. Cutting four SMs ways the GTX 1080 Ti ends up with 208 TMUs as opposed to the GTX Titan Ten'due south 224.

Despite the fewer CUDA cores, TMUs and ROPs, the GTX 1080 Ti will still have chart topping performance. Which isn't entirely too surprising. For instance the GTX 980 had 23% more CUDA cores and a higher clock speed compared to the GTX 970, but it ended up roughly 15% faster. Nosotros run across this quite often with all total vs cutting dorsum GPUs. And the 1080 Ti will surely exhibit similar behavior when compared to the Titan X Pascal.

This is because not all resources within the chip are disabled proportionally to the number of CUDA cores that are lasered off. Other on-chip engines are ever left untouched. In this example the Raster engines are such an case.What this means is that while we stop up with fewer CUDA cores, these CUDA cores have access to proportionally more resources which in plough means we finish up with more performance per CUDA core.

All in all the leaked specs aren't entirely too surprising. What still remains a mystery however is when Nvidia will launch this card. In all liklihood we're looking at an early 2022 launch. Pricing will entirely depend on how competitive AMD's upcoming high operation VEGA 10 GPU ends upwardly being.
