Putting FPS In Perspective

Before nosotros wrap things up, let's summarize how the GTX 1080 Ti fared against the standard GTX 1080 as well as AMD Fury X, for those of you lot who don't take time to check out all 20 games we tested.

When compared to the original 1080, the new Ti model was on average 22% faster. Nosotros saw information technology delivering up to thirty% more functioning in titles such as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Total War: Warhammer, however 4K gains were sometimes as lilliputian equally 10%.

Averages frame rates suggest the 1080 Ti delivers between 20 - 25% more performance over the regular 1080. The new card volition exist coming in at around 40% more expensive, too, but that'due south the premium y'all pay for loftier-end gaming and with no alternative there's no need for Nvidia to be more ambitious on pricing, at least for at present.

The Fury Ten is about to become eligible for pension. Two years is a long fourth dimension to sit down at the top of your stack as the flagship offer. Anyhow, the GTX 1080 Ti puts the Fury 10 downwards in the most humane style possible, rapidly dispatching it off with 61% more performance on average. I believe the Fury 10 runs into a VRAM chapters effect at 4K in Doom and that'southward why it gets pantsed in a game where you would await information technology to do significantly amend.

As I noted in a contempo article unless y'all can choice upward a Fury X graphics card for $300 or less, I wouldn't bother. At that price the 1080 Ti is more than twice as expensive and it's not twice as fast, however it'due south the more than affordable GTX 1070 that makes the Fury X a bad buy at over $300.

For those of you wondering why we didn't cover overclocking. Nosotros merely ran out of time. I will follow up with that eventually, but I don't await much because the Founders Edition board is running close to that 91 degree threshold. I imagine you could squeeze out another 10% or so, only I'thousand actually waiting to get my hands on something like a Gigabyte Aorus model with a nice big cooler to come across how far the GTX 1080 Ti can go.

In other words, it's likely that board partner cards volition brand the GTX 1080 Ti more than exciting to buy. Pricing aside, the Titan XP is a really prissy GPU but its reference libation runs extremely hot. Obviously, we don't have to worry most the Titan anymore, as the GTX 1080 Ti offers the same kind of operation for 40% off the asking price.

Knocking the vanilla GTX 1080 downwards to $500 is a big win for prospective buyers. I doubtable Nvidia did this to revive the buzz around high-stop Pascal offerings once again. They enjoyed strong sales and profits in 2022 thank you to the GTX 1080 and 1070, and I imagine they are trying to recapture the magic once over again. At $500, the GTX 1080 certainly takes further attention away from AMD'southward current lineup.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is now the ultimate 4K gaming solution and until AMD releases Vega I don't await to come across whatever significant shift in the GPU landscape. At $700 the fastest GeForce remains mighty expensive simply it too delivers performance unlike annihilation else for the money.

Pros: Amazing performance (that we'd only seen from a $1,200 GPU). PC gamers with deep pockets shouldn't look any farther than this, unless they have a high-end Pascal GPU already. No premium for Founders Edition. About equally efficient as slower GTX 1080, beats the Titan XP.

Cons: GPU runs a tad hot. Two weeks to expect until partner cards arrive with potentially better cooling solutions.
