NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 10GB Video Card Rumors

Since the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X there has been speculation whether a possibility of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti would become available. We are possibly in luck, for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card has been spotted in a shipping manifest in India. The Pascal based card manifest says that the card has 10 GB of GDDR VRAM running on a 384-bit memory bus. WCCFTech believes that this card will be using the GP100 ‘Pascal’ GPU with 60 SMs enabled, so that means you are looking at 5,760 CUDA Cores (3840 FP32 cores and 1920 FP64 cores).

There is much reason to be excited for this rumor to be true, one being its great price. It is a trend that the Ti series has been priced lower than every Titan GPU with half of the VRAM of its counterpart. The GeForce GTX 780 Ti has 3GB VRAM in juxtaposition to the 6GB of the Titan Black and the GeForce GTX 980 Ti has 6GB on comparison to the GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB.

The Titan now has 12 GB of GDDR5X VRAM and continuing the trend of being cut by half would require the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to have 6GB of VRAM. This would be unfavorable considering the GTX 1080 currently has 8GB of VRAM. In order for the GTX Titan series to surpass its counterpart, it is projected the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to have 10GB of GDDR5X VRAM. It looks like NVIDIA is tightening up the memory bus from 384-bit to 320-bit to help differentiate the performance between the two cards.

There is currently no known expected release date or release date rumors that we have heard about. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti rumor would be expected to be priced under $1000 USD, which is obviously less than the GeForce GTX Titan X costing $1200 USD and there is a limit of 2 cards per customer. Could this be the card to rival or possibly crush AMDs upcoming Vega powered GPUs in Q1 2017?
