Forums - PC Discussion - GTX 1080 Ti: 3328 CUDAs, 12GB G5X, 1.6GHz Boost - Rumor

If the normal Nvidia 1080 is 650-700$.
Then this is probably in the 850-900$ range.

I might be ignorant, but I am just wondering - why no HBM for Nvidia?

Its expensive... maybe they thought they dont need to it yet, and would rather put those profits into their pockets instead.



Looks like the rumor I read a week ago just with an additional X at the GDDR5 RAM. So it's pretty much an exact repeat of the last Titan X vs 980ti. Looks pretty sexy definitely. Sadly I will already have a 1080 when it comes out and I don't know yet if I'm willing to upgrade to it.

I hope not!

The GTX 980 was released at $550 and the 980Ti which came out 9 months later was release at only $100 more, at $650.

So since the GTX 1080 was priced at $600, the GTX 1080 Ti should be priced $700.

But then of course the latest Titan X was priced $1200 while the previous Titan X only cost $1000.

So perhaps they compromise and make the Ti card $150 more expensive than the regular GTX 1080.

That would mean we should expect the GTX 1080Ti to cost $750.

Funny to look at people's portraits. A monster, animated character, anime character, a computer generated girl, an animal... but no real human beings.



The pascal Titan is the first video card I've ever seriously splurged on (well I got a Geforce 480x back when it was nearly $600, but this one just about doubled that). Cool to see similar performance will be affordable next year, though, as it runs VR very well. I might pick one up for my laptop.

They've really improved even the appearance of these things... they're silent and seem less prone to heat issues. Great gpus!



Waiting for Volta's flagship. I don't see the point, not enough headroom here.

GDDR6 (16GB as standard) cometh, + HBM2.

This should launch in the current GTX1080 pricepoint, as the 1080 drops down to go head to head with AMD's competing cards.

It isn't ready for full production on consumer grade cards at the moment (HBM 2). GDDR6 is also on the way, so it will be interesting to see how that compares (will most likely power the lower-end GPUs of Volta), while 16GB (minimum) HBM 2 will accompany the Volta Titan/1180 Ti.

Why do you think the 1180 will have 16GB minimum if HBM2 is still so expensive?

Remember that the Fury cards from AMD only had 4GB for that reason. HBM was so expensive. Also remember that the GTX 980 only had 4GB of memory.

Also, 8GB of video memory is still plenty for 4K in modern games. I think Doom is the game that takes up the most at 5GB and we're still many years from a true next gen where games are designed in truly next gen engines (not even Scorpion games will be next gen, so it won't be until 2018 at the earliest, but probably 2019). And the next gen of GPUs will be made on the same 16nm process and not be more than 40-50% faster than current gen, at best.

Then of course you need more for SLI, but I think 8GB of HBM2 in 2017 could be enough for the default GTX 1180, while the Titan will get 16GB.
