At their event at the GDC 2017 in San Fransisco, Nvidia unveiled their new graphics card as expected. The GTX 1080 Ti which is a long awaited overhauled version of last year's GTX 1080. It will become their current flagship card whose price is said to be $699. The launch also made way to GTX 1080 price cuts.
Nvidia says that the 1080 Ti will be faster than their Titan X which was released after GTX 1080 that cost about $1200. While they also say that it outperforms GTX 1080 by 35% and also be quieter while running. This 35% improvement is the best of all Ti cards ever released by Nvidia. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang while releasing the card gave details on some specifications too. The GTX 1080 Ti graphics card will pack 11GB GDDR5X of video memory. The card is still based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture with 3584 CUDA cores with a stock clock of 1583MHz. At the demo at the conference, they ran the card at 2000MHz when the card reached around 60 degrees celsius with the regular cooler under load.
The GTX 1080 Ti will be out on March 6th at the price of $699. Meantime, Nvidia has already announced the GTX 1080 price cut. It is now available only at $499. While this card looks like Nvidia's bid against the AMD Radeon Vega, AMD has only been delaying their actual launch. So we have to just wait for a bit for that rivalry. Right now, GTX 1080 Ti will be the performance king of graphics cards.
