Shipping manifest hints at Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 10GB VRAM

Quote:

Rumours suggest it will pack 10GB of GDDR5 memory, and this card will cost £800.

Read more.

nice. i was thinking of getting a titan x but because you cant buy one with a custom cooler from evga etc, i skipped it

Your description says "10GB of GDDR5" however the previous speculation has been based around DDR4 on the Ti, I see nothing that details this in the product shipping description. Or can only DDR5 RAM be 386-bit ?

Hoping this gets announced before Christmas as I want to buy one asap in the new year. Have a feeling it will be Feb before they are out from 3rd parties otherwise.

Would have thought they'd have gone 12GB, but still likely to be the card I'll go for next - hope there's a decent hybrid variant from EVGA - the blowers are far too loud on my 980Ti

Edit - and this:

is based on nothing but the currency-converted "value "on a shipping manifest, don't state it as fact

Isn't 10GB a weird amount of VRAM for a 384 bit card??

Kind of depressing AMD has still not fully launched their entire range yet.

384 bit refers to the bandwidth of the memory controller, not to the VRAM itself.

the odds of the ti having the same 12GB as the titan x was near enough non existent as no one would buy the titan x.

In all likelihood all the 1080ti is the titan x chip that doesn't quite hit the required quality for the top card. Nvidia already do this with the other cards in the range so now that the titan x yields are likely better they're going to do it with the top end too. I'd even put money on the cuda cores being around 3072 too.... it sits right in the middle of the 1080 and titan x while being a set number of modules being shut down on a titan x chip

Doesn't say it as fact when I read but it's possible the article has been changed...

I think I'll pick this up when Mass Effect Andromeda comes out. I wish it had been HBM2 memory which is going to provide 60% more bandwidth, consume less power and be more efficient i would agree with LSG about the Cuda cores.

I think you are all worrying about the wrong things - 10GB on a 384 bit memory controller hints at another fast-slow VRAM configuration.

But TBH,its still more than 8GB,so I doubt it really matters,that much. Not sure why they didn't just have 9GB instead??!!

Plus,it will help if AMD actually got around to getting Vega out - looks like another 4 to 6 months at this rate! :(

Edit!!

Just read GDDR5X can offer memory capacities in non power of two configurations.

OK,that makes more sense.

Its using the same engine as Dragonage:Inquisition. I expect a GTX1060/RX480/GTX1070 should be fine at 1080P and 1440P IMHO OFC.

I was going by the observation that the last Ti card was a 50% bump in RAM (4GB->6Gb), but it could also have just been a non-ratio 2Gb Bump. I'd hope the Titans would have more to brag about than a few gigs of extra RAM.


Saying something will cost £800 looks like a factual statement to me. Would have been better worded as "Could cost", or "Might" cost. I saw the "will" and immediately thought it sounded reasonable for a 1080Ti based on the standard card launch price.

Yes its using the Frostbite Engine same as the one in Battlefield 1 as you know Gamer makers always add improvements to their own engines all the time to utilizisie whatever the new features on nvidia & AMD cards such a tessellation and async. I have bought a card in a very long time so it would be considered a treat my self.
Will Vega have 512 Bit controller?

Where have you seen speculation of DDR4? That wouldn't make any sense for a top tier graphics card. Bit in this context refers to the bandwidth to the chips. Say each chip has a 64-bit connection, then 4 chips connected in parallel give a 256-bit bandwidth. 6 would give 384 and 8 would give 512.

Vega may have the equivalent of 8,192-bit.

You're looking at it the wrong way... the Ti has for the last few generations been a cut down version of the titan x not an upgrade to the non Ti due to using the 'full fat' gpu core design. Last time they could get away with 6Gb (half the titan x maxwell) because the 980 was just 4GB but this time the 1080 is 8GB and as they limited the titan x to 12GB (got to sell them quadro p6000's somehow) there is only 4GB gap so can only be 10GB if they want to 'improve' over the 1080. The titan x isn't being marketted the same anymore either, it's now just the top end gaming card so it will just be incrementally better than the one below it.

but the article doesn't say that....

Last but not least, a price of 68,276 Rupees is on the shipping manifest for customs purposes, which translates to roughly £800, or US$1,000. However, Zauba value indicators don't always correlate to market prices for various business reasons.

All I know I will just be able to afford.....







.....the box for this.

My bad. Got my 4, 5 & 5X mixed up.. Teach me to post & work... :eek:

• 5X --- 1080 & Titan
• 5 --- 1080 Ti
• 4 --- No idea what I was thinking of.

Seems strange that a gpu based off the same hardware/gpu core as the Titan x would have gddr5 instead of the titan x's gddr5x. Everywhere I've seen speculating about the 1080ti is saying gddr5x albeit with 12GB and around 3300 cuda cores. Now the amount of memory is obviously wrong based on the leak on this articles and imo so are the cuda core count being speculated but gddr5x seems to be consistent everywhere and makes sense based on it being a cut down titan x making use of 'not quite titan x' grade hardware.
