GTX 1080 Ti to Have 10GB VRAM?
Ashley Allen / 7 years ago
The NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti is rumoured for release in January 2017, and if its leaked specs are to be believed it will rival NVIDIA’s current top-end graphics card, the Titan X. A fresh leak may have revealed that the forthcoming graphics card could feature 10GB of VRAM, placing it nicely between the GTX 1080 and Titan X, which have 8GB and 12GB of VRAM, respectively.
The potential leak (pictured above) comes courtesy of VideoCardz, which obtained a shipping manifest that featured the following mysterious hardware:
FOC / PG611 SKU0010 GPU / 384-BIT 10240MB GDDR COMPUTER GRAPHICS CARDS, 699-1G611-0010-000
While the above hardware is not referred to as being the GTX 1080 Ti, we can infer a number of points from the listing:
- First, we don’t yet have a 10GB graphics card, meaning that this will be a new bit of hardware;
- Second, it refers to a PG611 board, which is equipped with a GP102 GPU, thought to be at the heart of the 1080 Ti;
- Finally, the Titan X product number is 699-1G611-0000-000, which includes the following information: PG611 SKU 00. The product number of the above item is 699-1G611-0010-000, which clearly points to it being a new card. The only new NVIDIA card we’re expecting soon is the 1080 Ti, so it’s relatively safe to assume that said graphics card will have 10GB of VRAM.
However, this is far from confirmation, so take the above report as mere rumour for now.
