Leaked GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Specs Rival Titan X

While details of NVIDIA’s prospective GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card are sparse – no official unveiling or release date has yet been announced – it seems that the hardware’s specs have leaked and, if they are to be believed, the GTX 1080 Ti could rival NVIDIA’s premier graphics card, the Titan X.

According to the leak, the GTX 1080 Ti will have a base clock of 1503MHz, with a boost of 1623MHz, 3,328 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR5 RAM, 10.8 TFLOPs, a 384-bit memory bus, and a memory bandwidth of 384GB/s. For comparison, the Titan X has a base clock of 1417MHz, which boosts to 1531MHz – less than the alleged speeds of the 1080 Ti – and 12GB of superior GDDR5X memory, a few more CUDA cores at 3584, the same memory bus, 11 TFLOPs, a 480GB/s memory bandwidth. While the Titan X still edges it on a number of factors, the GTX 1080 Ti runs it pretty close, if the specs are genuine.

Doubters have suggested that the GTX 1080 Ti’s supposed use of GDDR5 over GDDR5X discredits the leak, since the reference GTX 1080 uses GDDR5X and it seems unlikely that NVIDIA would downgrade such a component for the Ti edition of the card. Maybe it’s a typo, or perhaps the specs are fake. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long to find out.
