PRESS RELEASE
Ultimate GeForce GPU Offers Extreme Gaming Performance, Faster Than TITAN X Pascal
SAN FRANCISCO—Game Developers Conference—Feb. 28, 2017—Crowning its award-winning lineup of Pascal™ architecture-based GPUs, NVIDIA today unveiled its fastest gaming GPU ever — the GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti.
Packed with extreme gaming horsepower, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti delivers up to 35 percent more performance than the GTX 1080 and comes with 11GB of next-generation GDDR5X memory, running at a staggering 11Gbps, for the ultimate in memory bandwidth and gaming prowess.
GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, including the NVIDIA Founder’s Edition, will be available worldwide from NVIDIA GeForce partners beginning March 10, and starting at $699 (UK pricing TBC).
The Ultimate GeForce, with the Ultimate Specs
NVIDIA designed the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to handle the graphical demands of 4K and 5K gaming, DX12, HDR and immersive VR. It incorporates:
- Massive Features for Massive Performance: The GTX 1080 Ti includes 3,584 NVIDIA® CUDA® cores and a massive 11GB frame buffer running at an unheard of 11Gbps. It delivers up to 35 percent faster performance than the GeForce GTX 1080 and up to 78 percent faster performance than the GTX 1070.(1) The GTX 1080 Ti is even faster than the NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal, its £1,179.00 big brother that was designed for deep learning and artificial intelligence.
- Next-Gen Memory Architecture: GTX 1080 Ti is the world’s first GPU to feature Micron’s next-gen G5X memory. 11GB of G5X memory running a blazing 11Gbps quad data rate delivers the most effective memory bandwidth of any modern gaming GPU. And it still has plenty of headroom for overclocking.
- Advanced FinFET Process: The GTX 1080 Ti is manufactured on the industry’s cutting-edge FinFET process. Its 12 billion transistors deliver a dramatic increase in performance and efficiency over previous-generation products.
- Meticulous Craftsmanship: The GTX 1080 Ti runs as cool as it looks due to superior heat dissipation from a new high-airflow thermal solution with vapour chamber cooling, 2x the airflow area and a power architecture featuring a seven-phase power design with 14 high-efficiency dualFETs.
- Support for Advanced Graphics Technologies: 4K, VR, NVIDIA G-SYNC™ HRD and NVIDIA GameWorks™ offer interactive, cinematic experiences accompanied by incredibly smooth gameplay.

About NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” More information at http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/.
(1) The comparison of GTX 1080 Ti to GTX 1080 includes the benchmarking of more than 10 games with DX11 and DX12, where applicable, at various resolutions including 3840x2160 (4K), 2560x1440 and 1920x1080. The game list includes Ashes of the Singularity, The Division, Battlefield 1, Crysis 3, Doom 4 (OpenGL and Vulkan), Fallout 4, Hitman Pro, Rise of the Tomb Raider and more. GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 were tested with driver version 378.68.
