A section of the backplate can be removed to increase airflow between multiple 1080 cards when using a SLI configuration. The card has three DisplayPort connections, one HDMI 2.0b connector and a dual-link DVI connector. It can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
GeForce GTX 1080 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition includes three DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI 2.0b connector, and one dual-link DVI connector. Up to four display heads can be driven simultaneously from one card.
The average selling price was $372 but quite a few sold closer to $300. Even at the average selling price, the GTX 1080 comes out at a cost of just $1.84 per frame and that's great relative value compared to other high-end GPUs, especially since there were so many of them available.
The cheaper 2070's are $500 and range up to $600 for the faster aftermarket cards (like the Gaming Z mentioned in the review above). At $450 for a nice used aftermarket 1080Ti, you'd be 20-30% faster than the lower-tier 2070s and $50 cheaper.
The GeForce GTX 1080 has sat firm at its $600 selling price since launch, barring odd sales that shave $10 or $20 off, so this announcement will likely have a significant effect on real-world graphics card pricing. But where Nvidia taketh away from partners, it also giveth.
4k resolution graphics cards
- PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 VERTO 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card - Black.
- EVGA - GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra Gaming 11GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card.
- XFX - AMD Radeon RX 550 Core Edition 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black.
However, only the GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 are able to turn in a near-60fps result at 4K, with an average frame-rate of just 54fps. For a GPU capable of running Crysis flawlessly at ultra HD, you'll need to turn to Nvidia's flagship RTX 2080 Ti card which hits 68fps average.
In short, the cards are pretty comparable, but the 2070 tends to perform slightly better in most scenarios. By the numbers, both cards have a slight leg up over the other in certain specifications and the Founders Editions don't do anything to close those gaps. The 1080 has 2,560 CUDA cores, while the 2070 has 2,304.
So, many would argue that those effects are not worth enabling even on the newer RTX cards. As a result, the 1080 is still quite relevant. A GTX 1080 generally performs a little behind an RTX 2070, so I would say it's worth a bit less than what those are currently selling for.
As of today, the GTX 1080 Ti is the first GPU that can drive 4K at 60 FPS or above with little-to-no need to turn down visual settings.
NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti 4K benchmarks
| Game | GTX 1080 Ti (4K) | GTX 1080 Ti (1440p) |
|---|
| Gears of War 4 | 50.6 FPS average | 109.1 FPS average |
| Rise of the Tomb Raider | 60.04 FPS average | 113.1 FPSaverage |
| GTA V | 60.1 FPS average | 73.7 FPS average |
| PUBG | 34 FPS average | 68.9 FPS average |
But the only viable option for 4K gaming is the RTX 2080 Ti, and Nvidia's Founders Edition will run you $1,199. So yes, 4K / 60 fps gaming is here with the RTX line of graphics cards, but you're going to have to pay a high premium to obtain it.
Nvidia's RTX 2080 is a better card utilizing newer technology and offering better, faster performance than the GTX 1080 Ti and usually at a much lower cost. There will be some games that perform better with the GTX 1080 Ti, but that advantage is not worth hundreds of dollars.

GeForce is a brand of graphics processing units (GPUs) designed by Nvidia. With respect to discrete GPUs, found in add-in graphics-boards, Nvidia's GeForce and AMD's Radeon GPUs are the only remaining competitors in the high-end market.
The RT in RTX stands for Ray Tracing, not sure about GTX, probably something to do with gaming. Then "GTX" was changed to "RTX" to indicate raytracing support.
How did Nvidia get its name? From a combination of the letter `n', a letter used as a pronumeral in mathematical statements, and the Latin for `to see', thus implying "the best visual experience" or "immeasurable display". FYI, a pronumeral is another term for a variable in algebra.
GTX = Giga Texel Shader eXtreme.
Early benchmarks show that the GTX 1660 has about a 20% lower effective speed than the 1660 Ti, but with an entry price of $219 USD, the 1660 is also about 20% cheaper. Further, the 1660 has a 12% effective speed advantage over the ~$230 USD 6GB 1060 and a similar real world effective speed to AMD's $265 USD RX 590.
No one really knows why the RTX 2080 Ti is so expensive in comparison to the 1080 ti at launch but there are a few well supported reasons why: No competition in the high end. The huge 754mm^2 die of the 2080 ti means that yields are going to be lower then the 1080 ti which was a 471mm^2 die.
As Gamers Nexus reports, stock of GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards are dwindling fast, and it is thought to be because Nvidia has stopped producing the 1080 Ti Pascal GPU. No new GPUs means that once card manufacturers have used up their existing stock they will have to end production.
There are many other cards on the market that not only are faster than the 1080 ti but also cheaper and more efficient. Such as the 2080 and the upcoming 2070 super which both support Nvlink (a more efficient version than SLI). Meaning that both these cards will be way more future-proof than the gtx 1080 ti.
If you've been wrestling with the decision of picking up Nvidia's new Turing-powered graphics card or the Pascal-based GTX 1080 Ti, Nvidia may have just forced your hand. The best alternative to the GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card is reportedly no longer in production, and supply is running low.
NVIDIA has paired 11 GB GDDR5X memory with the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which are connected using a 352-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1481 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1582 MHz, memory is running at 1376 MHz.
Nvidia got some serious surprises for us. So, for your answer, the price of graphics card has already been dropped a lot. But you may expect even more price drop in third and fourth quarter of 2019 because all the Turing series GPUs are yet to be launched.

For most, if not all, current games, a GTX 1080 card will more than serve most gamers' needs. While the flagship GTX 1080 Ti was priced close to $1,000 a few weeks ago, the pricing has dropped significantly since Nvidia's announcement. Zotac's GTX 1080 Ti is now priced at just $526.50 on Amazon.
There are a bunch of reasons the 1080ti is selling for more $$: it has more ram. It also runs a bunch of flat (probably VR too) games better than the 2080. The used market sucks too.
