NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Specifications Leaked, Inbound for Holiday 2016?

[HammerON]

I think we are getting off topic here a bit. Please keep on topic.

I posted the above message on page 3 of the this thread. It appears that we are having difficulties staying on topic. Warnings will be given out if this continues.

We're on page 7, like we remember page 3?

Does anyone else find it weird this uses GDDR5? I mean, doesn't even the 1080 use GDDR5X?

Yes, which is why I call bullshit on this rumor.

The rumor mill must be working hard these days...

If they use GDDR5X the Titan will look stupid since the amount of VRAM will be the same between the 1080 Ti and Titan.

Thus they NEED to give it normal GDDR5 in order to differentiate the products. Furthermore this isn't at all new: the 770 had faster ram than the 780, and yes it is the same situation. Call it whatever you want: speed is speed, and GDDR5X only offers 25% more bandwidth (it overclocks worst to).

I mean, couldn't they just have halved the VRAM and saved more cost?

None of this makes sense.

6GB of ram when the 1080 has 12? Nope.

The fact is the new Titan should have 18 or 24GB of VRAM (Or 16GB of HBM2 actually).

But Nvidia cheaped out so they could launch the Titan a few months early (So it could sit a little while without competition). Thus they now need to skimp on the 1080 Ti as well.

The only other option I see is going with a 320- it bus and 10GB of GDDR5X. Idk if there design allows for this though, and no rumors have pointed to this being the case.

For some reason I thought the 1080 had 6 gigs. Doh!

GTX 1080 has 8 GB VRAM. imo 12 GB for 1080 Ti and Titan X is plenty. I don't know of a situation where you would need more than 12 GB VRAM for gaming with a 1080 Ti.

Maybe the 1080Ti will just be 1080 + moar cores (ie, also 8GB 256 bit). Totally random thought.

I'd rather go with that option. more cores more vram. BTW I don't think 12 Vram will be needed that much. I know games develop pretty fast and steady phase but the fact is that 12 Vram is more of a marketing scam for people to think its faster. Even if we need more than 8GB( and I think there's no game atm needing that much) there's also speed we need to add to that equation. You may have 24GB Vram but if your card sucks in speed it's pointless.

Not possible. The GP104-400 that the GTX 1080 uses is a fully enabled core. To have more shaders it'd have to be a GP100 or derivative core (like GP102 is).

Also, I believe GP102 only has a GDDR5x memory controller if memory serves?

Why does everybody thinks that the 1080Ti will be slower than the latest Titan?
I have a feeling it will be 780Ti vs 1st Titan again.

That also may be right. Nvidia wanna sell Titan first to get some cash out of it. I'm sure some people will buy it. On the other hand maybe there will be another version of Titan when 1080Ti gets released matching Titan XP performance. Then Nvidia will improve titan XP (more shaders or something) and give the highest of prices ever seen

So we can expect an XP TiT?

Could be. They did that with the 780 Ti and original Titan as pointed out above. The 780 Ti had more cores and a non reference cooler for faster clocks than the Titan and was faster in gaming for $350 less than a Titan. Then came the Titan Black which matched the 780 Ti but cost $450 more than a 780 Ti.

I'm expecting the 1080 Ti to come with less cores than the Titan XP but will probably only be a little slower than the Titan XP due to the superior non reference cooler. That's how it played out with Maxwell anyway. With Titan XP being $1,200 then $850 sounds about right for the 1080 Ti. Too much $$$ imo but not for some I guess.

Not sure what you after bro asking this. Titan xp aka titan x pascal been thinking about different version like it used to be. Titan z or titan black , titan x now x pascal. Maybe there will be titan x black

I totally agree with you. And what i think about it may be that There will be another version of titan. Like improved

Last time I checked the point of the "Titan" was to have far more than a normal graphics card. No Titan has ever delivered on the performance front, but at least the Titan had 6GB and the Titan X had 12GB - far more VRAM than any card out at the time. Now they don't even have that.

 

[Prima.Vera]

Crazy ideea: What if the 1080Ti is actually a dual GPU 1080 card??
...
Neeh, maybe not. That would just be called Titan Z Pascal XP. Or something... ))

I know that was an AMD trick to surpass or match with NVIDIA latest models. I'm sure the 1080Ti will be single core but tweaked a bit. Although I remember 690 which was a dual core.

After seeing the success of the Titan Nvidia is just done making double cards. It's far cheaper for them to just add like 10% more SP's and some RAM than it is to put two high end cores on one PCB.

And apparently if they call it "Titan", morons think it is one.

 

[Fx]

I swear to god it better not be >$800. I really want this card, but if these generational price increases continue, I'll be more than happy to stay with 1080-1440p gaming. Shit, I may just jump back to AMD to suit my graphic needs after having just switched from AMD to Nvidia for one generation. I refuse to be a sucker.

Привіт! Я використовую 980 і я радий! Відьмак 3, все по максимуму і волосся також максимальне здатність 1440 на зображення = 40-42 FPS! Я не бачу причин для поновлення цього покоління, чи не так?)
