Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is now the ultimate 4K gaming solution and until AMD releases Vega I don’t expect to see any significant shift in the GPU landscape. At $700 the fastest GeForce remains mighty expensive but it also delivers performance unlike anything else for the money.

Reviewers Liked

  • Fastest graphics card available
  • Very overclockable
  • PC gamers with deep pockets shouldn't look any further than this, unless they have a high-end Pascal GPU already
  • 11 GB VRAM
  • Backplate included
  • No hotter than vanilla GTX 1080 despite big performance boost
  • DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter included in box
  • Improved cooling

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Not as quiet as some board partner designs
  • Reference-style cooling isn't as efficient as custom coolers
  • A pricey investment for most
  • GPU runs a tad hot

Well I have to say that although I haven't had a chance to check out the multiplayer action yet, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found in the beta experience of Destiny 2. The game looks great, plays well and it's already significantly more...

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition is probably the best gaming GPU you can buy. While the performance of the GPU is unmatched, the thermals can be a let down for some, making users resort to third-party OEMs. Also, if 4K and VR aren't your...

The GTX 1080Ti is indeed a beast. While the Vega is still under wraps, this Titan stomping GPU is sweeping the charts. We were not able to include benchmarks for 4K due to lack of a UHD display at the time of review, but if the numbers above are any...

NVIDIA has had a great year in 2016 and by the looks of it, it seems that 2017 is going to the same. Pascal's successor, NVIDIA Volta, has already started rearing its head here and there. If you want to snoop around a little, then search for Device ID...
