NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Unveiled: Promises Higher Performance At Half The Price
Till today the $1000 NVIDIA Titan X was the best graphics card that you buy but all that changed at an elaborate media event that was held in Austin, Texas today. The team at NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce GTX 1080 that is claimed to be faster than the reigning king, the Titan X and costs nearly half as much. While the GTX Titan X was based on Maxwell architecture, the GTX 1080 is based on the new Pascal architecture. The new graphics card has been designed to play well with virtual reality and as compared to Titan X is expected to perform twice as faster in that department.

The Pascal architecture makes the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 three times more power efficient than Titan X. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is designed with a new 16nm FinFET manufacturing process that enables it to pack 7.2 billion transistors which increases performance and efficiency. When it comes to memory on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 we have got 8GB of Micron GDDR5X memory that has a 256-bit memory interface and runs at 10Gbps. The clock speed on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is astounding at over 1700MHz. Even though it operates at this phenomenal clock speed it consumes just 180 watts of power.

The exact performance of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 can be judged by the 9 TFLOPS figure associated with it. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 will be available in two variants. The normal variant will be available from companies like ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, NVIDIA. Palit, PNY and Zotac for $599 and the “Founders Edition†will cost you $699. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 will be available in North America region from May 27th.
