At a press event on March 1, NVIDIA revealed new top consumer graphics card, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
Expected to go on sale on March 10 for USD699, the graphics card is said to 35 percent faster than industry leader GTX 1080 and the company’s very own Titan X, which currently sells at USD1,200, Polygon reports. The graphics card features 3,584 CUDA cores and 11 GB of GDDR5X video memory running at 11 Gbps, and upgraded the already efficient cooling system by integrating a new high-airflow thermal solution. NVIDIA also introduced a new seven-phase power design with 14 high-efficiency dualFETs to ensure power efficiency at the highest usage and power levels.
But what does this mean for the average gamer? Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang promised that visuals of video games will be an enviable experience, as quickly demonstrated in a demo, which showed “silky-smooth rendering of a camera panning around a video game character,” PCMag reported.
Ahead of the March 10 release, NVIDIA will be taking pre-orders for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti on March 2. Nvidia partners, including Asus EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, iGame, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac, will be marketing the new graphics card. A branded Founders Edition version of GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will also be released. GeForce Experience users can also have a chance to win one of the 108 Ti cards by simply downloading GeForce Experience 3.0 and opt in the NVIDIA updates.
As for consumers who are opting for a less expensive card, a USD100 discount will be offered to gamers who will be buying the GTX 1080 graphics card.
