NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11 GB

[sith'ari]

-Once more NVidia is making a power-statement about who dominates the GPU field.

( P.S. On the other hand, we witness the standard AMD policy which is not to release any GPU unless they hype them before for about a year , -or two- ,-or untill they bore us to death-!!! )

Sweet card, bring on the AIBs!

Screw that, add a waterblock on a FE model and you have better performance. I don't see the AIB's clocking higher under air than a standard FE on water. I expect a £100-£200 premium for MSI's Gaming Z nonsense (basically, some more PCB glitter and an overpriced, if effective cooler).

Thanks a lot for the Review.... I have a question.
My question is... Does this 1080TI that I want to buy,( now I use 980TI) + i5 3570 4.2 +DDR3 2.400 work ok , on Ultrawide 3440x1440 60fps locked games ?

I know that my cpu is very weak for 90 fps and more , but can I use this 3570 on higher res 3440x1440 and 60 fps locked ? Or I have to buy new CPU ?
Thank you all so much

Should be fine since you are driving a high-res monitor. If you were at 1080p I'd say better CPU would help. But fine for this case.

Look at this guy crapping on vega even before we see anything of it, wow talk about Nvdia bias, same thing he has done with ryzen. #AMDhater.

 

[Franzen4Real]

No plans for either. Wow sucks to bench because when they push an update I'll have to rebench all cards on the new patch. Also WOW is running super high FPS these days.

Actually, I see some zones in this latest expansion dip into the high 40's-50's pretty regularly with all settings maxed (and a certain couple of flight paths that drop down to low 40's). This is with mild oc's on both 5820K & ROG GTX1080 @ 2560X1440.

But having to re-bench due to updates is more than enough reason to exclude it.

Awesome review though, thanks! Looking forward to a Strix release.

All these years that I am reading tech sites, I have to say you must be one of the most xp person that I know , and most of all you are answering to the people that read you all these years .
This is what makes big difference between a pro and amateur reviewer , thanks a lot W1zzard .

Ps. is it possible in the future to have VR tests to ? like Assetto or P.C. ?

 

[Ruru]

Nice review. Shame companies like Nvidia continue to piss of loyal customers by bringing to market new products more quickly than ever, driving down the value of previous top end hardware in a matter of months.

For budget gamers like me, that's just nothing else than a good thing. This beast costs like twice the amount what my whole PC costs.

water-cooled 1080Ti will be the big thing since it has good potential.

expect to see EKWB releasing some kits ready for it in a few weeks time.

I bet it would be pretty hard to bench VR in game because depending on if/how you move your head, the on screen geometry being rendered would change from card to card. For the few of us here that are interested in VR, I think we are stuck looking for the magical 90FPS@2560x1440 numbers from traditional games. Perhaps once Uningine releases their new benching tool, the VR portion could start being added to reviews, as it would give a consistent and repeatable result?

That's why I'll go Palit, 10 buck premium, cool and quiet wonder!

Oh man, totally a good point!
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1080_Ti/30.html

1920x1080 - 16% faster
2560x1440 - 22% faster
3840x2160 - 26% faster


EDIT: This is bs, ignore.

 

[efikkan]

I mean... I am schocked... why nvidia released something that made its own 1200$ product completely obsolete? do they know something about Vega something scary (for nvidia)? any how -1 GPU and 4K gaming at 60 fps finally is doable

After GTX 980 Ti, you are shocked?

no torches and pitchforks?

Nvidia delivered!
It's been years since AMD did that with a GPU.

Just imagine if AMD managed to release a such GPU, people would be celebrating.

3840x2160 - 26% faster

maybe when we go up to 8k we shall see a 35% difference

I see the math skills are not up to speed:
100/84 = 119 %
100/78 = 128 %
100/74 = 135 %

those figures from the tpu performance summary chart are already in percentages or I'm missing something here?

 

[Rahmat Sofyan]

Nothin new, just regular stuff from nVidia..

So this the end for pascal family? Or there is will be some new GTX 1090 Ti Ti or Titan Z Pascal TiT? GTX 1999 ? Or else?

 

[Lionheart]

Great review as always. Question though, will you be updating to a different game when it comes to the overclocking results, BF3 seems a little outdated now although it's still showing results?

 

[efikkan]

All of them are relative performance compared to GTX 1080 Ti.

Oh man, this product is so good it's boring. Why do they have to be so good?

So this the end for pascal family? Or there is will be some new GTX 1090 Ti Ti or Titan Z Pascal TiT? GTX 1999 ? Or else?

This is the last high and mid range consumer model, there might be more low-end models coming.

 

[efikkan]

yes and? on 1920x1080 the 1080 "relatively" achieves 84% the framerate the 1080ti achieves.
Sooo there is a 16% difference right?

If the GTX1080Ti managed 100 fps, the GTX1080 would do 84 fps

So, do I have to teach you basic math?
Percentages are just propotional numbers, you just have to remember what they relate to.

If you have $50, and I got $75, then how much more do I have? $75/$50 = 1.5 => 50% more. Yet, you only have 67% of what I have.

In 1080p:
GTX 1080 84% of GTX 1080 Ti.
100/84 = 1.19 => 19% more.

In 3840p:
GTX 1080 74% of GTX 1080 Ti.
100/74 = 1.35 => 35% more.

If you don't understand this then you'll should finish elementary school.

 

[sith'ari]

Don't forget to add a +10% / +15% performance boost to these numbers once the aftermarket models arrive.
So we are talking about a +15% increase in performance over the Titan XP with half the price. I can't imagine what more you could expect from a company that has no competition (performance-wise) for more than a year now. (*and also compare that with Intel's "performance-stagnation" in CPU sector due to remaining unchallenged for far too long )

something is weird imo:

game: ANNO 2205
vga benchmarked: titan xp 12gb

titan XP review - 2560x1440 = 66.4fps
GTX1080ti review - 2560x1440 = 58.6fps?

[ppn]

980Ti non-ref was 25-35% faster than ref.
Not going to be the same with 1080Ti. Non-ref will boost 15% more on average.

GTX1080ti review:

Nothing weird at all. @W1zzard re-benches his cards so all the cards shown are having a performance decrease - could be some other component causing it. If he didn't retest, the results would be misleading.
