NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti release date, specs: Budget-friendly GPU set for January 2017 release?

A scaled down version of the GTX Titan X, the GTX 1080 Ti is expected to arrive in January 2017 NVIDIA

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is expected to be officially announced during CES 2017 in January. The rumored video card is said to be as powerful at the GTX Titan X Pascal but with a cheaper price.

The GTX 1080 is said to contain 12 GB of GDDR5X of VRAM, 3,328 CUDA cores, and it will be featuring the company's GP102 GPU core. It also has 12 billion transistors which are capable of providing up to 10.8 TFLOPS compute power and 52 SMs, 8 SMs short from its big brother Titan X, reported WCCFTech.

The alleged video graphics card is speculated to have a base clock speed of 1,503 MHz and a boosted speed of 1,623 MHz. The memory interface is at 384-bit, memory bandwidth of 480 GB/s, and TDP of 250 watts.

It is also expected to offer a maximum digital resolution of 768 x 4320 ay 60 Hz, as well as support for Direct X 12, Vulkan APi, and OpenGL 4.5. DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, and Dual Link-DVI display connectors could come as standard, capable of providing simultaneous support for multi-display.

Custom models with aftermarket water cooling systems will definitely allow extra room for overclockers, similar to other high-end GPUs from NVIDIA.

On the other hand, the GTX Titan X Pascal contains 12 GB of GDDR5X, 3,584 CUDA cores, and GP102 GPU core with 56 SMs. It similarly consists of 12 billion transistors, but it can provide more computing power, pegged at 11 TFLOPS. Its base clock is at 1.4 GHz, and it has a boost clock of up to 1.5 GHz.

The rumored GPU is slightly less powerful than the Titan X. However, this will deliver a better gaming experience than the standard GTX 1080. Price wise it, it is expected to be around $1,200 for the Titan X and $699 for the GTX 1080.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is expected to launch in January 2017.
