![]() The GTX 1080 Ti looks a whole lot like the TITAN X launched in August of last year. I already wrote about the specifications of the GPU in the GTX 1080 Ti when it was announced last week, so here’s a simple recap. Today we see the release of the new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, a card that offers only a handful of noteworthy technological changes but instead is able to shake up the market by instigating pricing adjustments to make the performance offers more appealing, and lowering the price of everything else. 1080 TI POWER CONSUMPTION FULLThat was WAY back in August of 2016 – a full seven months ago! Since then we have seen very little change at the top end of the product lines and what little change we did see came from board vendors adding in technology and variation on the GTX 10-series. The most recent high end graphics card release came in the form of the updated Titan X based on the Pascal architecture. NVIDIA’s product line has been dominant in the mid and high-end gaming market since the 900-series with the 10-series products further cementing the lead. AMD was seemingly able to take advantage of Intel’s slow innovation pace on the processor and it was hoping to do the same to NVIDIA on the GPU. We just saw the release of AMD’s Ryzen processor platform that shook up the processor market for the first time in a decade, AMD’s Vega architecture has been given the brand name “Vega”, and the anticipation for the first high-end competitive part from AMD since Hawaii grows as well. It’s a very interesting time in the world of PC gaming hardware. UPDATE! If you missed our launch day live stream, you can find the replay below:
