Nvidia’s upcoming GTX 1080 Ti graphics beast is reportedly launching at next year’s CES in January featuring the company’s high-end GP102 GPU. Packing 3328 CUDA cores, a 1.6Ghz boost clock, 12GB of GDDR5X memory & an impressive 10.8 TFLOPs of graphics horsepower. The new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is set to deliver Titan X Pascal flagship performance at a significantly lower price. This latest leak comes from China where effectively all of Nvidia’s channel partners manufacture their graphics cards.
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.

!!! oooh those teraflops..... I knew This was coming but nobody believed me lol, THIS is the reason why i didn't buy a 1080 yet!!
