Upgrading their flagship card with a Ti (or titanium) version has become a tradition with Nvidia, and this time around they’ve done it up big. So, what do y’all think of the new cards? Let us know in the comments and forum. The GTX 780 begat the 780 Ti, the GTX 980 begat the 980 Ti, and now the GTX 1080 begets the GTX 1080 Ti. Thanks to Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry, Anandtech, and Nvidia’s product page for helping me not sound like a complete noob. This one has a bit more substance than the average product video, though. Meanwhile GTX 970 should fare similarly as well, however as our sample is having compatibility issues that we haven’t been able to resolve in time, that is a discussion we will need to have another day.Īnd, as always, cue the marketing video. This is enough to keep the single-GPU performance crown solidly in NVIDIA’s hands, maintaining a 10-20% lead over AMD’s flagship Radeon R9 290X. It is roughly 10% faster than GTX 780 Ti and consumes almost 1/3rd less power for that performance. In idle and light gaming, the card will turn off its fans completely for a noise-free experience. Their iGame GTX 980 Ti is overclocked out of the box using a triple-fan, dual-slot cooler.

But for those looking to upgrade from an older card, the combination of power and efficiency Maxwell represents makes it difficult to ignore.Īt the very high end the GTX 980 will be unrivaled. Colorful is one of the leading graphics card vendors in Asia. In this respect, the card could fall short of enthusiast expectations – at the top-end, the demands of the hardcore almost always put performance first. The reference card averages 75 FPS, so the. The GTX 980 is what it is – an extremely clever piece of technology that’s a bit faster than the previous Nvidia flagship, offered at the same price premium but without a commanding increase in raw frame-rates some may have hoped for. Metro: Last Light Gigabyte's GTX 980 Ti is the first single-GPU card we've tested that averages around 100 FPS and never dips below 60 FPS at 2560x1440. What Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry thought: Please do not laugh at the guy who gives the intro – his eyesight is obviously poor and those glasses are necessary.Įurogamer’s Digital Foundry and Anandtech put the GTX 980 through its paces with the usual line up of resource-hungry games – here are the results.Īnd now, let’s hear from those who were fortunate enough to play with the card before its launch. Nvidia released a video explaining and demonstrating VXGI in action, which we have posted below. VXGI allows the simulation of light inside games in real time, which is meant to provide better quality shadows, more vibrant colours, and more realistic scenery. The GTX 1080 is built on a new 16nm FinFET manufacturing process allowing the chip.

The cards also offer Dynamic Super Resolution – which claims to deliver 4K-quality gaming on 1080p displays – and VXGI (Voxel Global Illumination). Based on the latest Pascal architecture, Nvidia claim the GTX 1080 is the most advanced graphics card ever made. Both cards feature the aforementioned Maxwell architecture, which Nvidia says will deliver better performance and power efficiency.
