It's hard to say what exactly I dislike about the card. It just gave be a bad vibe from day 1 when it arrived as a replacement for my DOA 7770. It's performance has always felt poor, sure it runs more modern games at higher framerates than the intel HD graphics I had to compare it to, but it never felt like it was working very efficiently. It leaves horizontal lines on the screen reminiscent of VHS fuzz just in the desktop and I've even experienced the occasional black screen when waking up from sleep mode.
I suspect mine is a 1GB model and that the 2GB model is more reliable, but the fact that the two aren't easily distinguishable is yet another reason to avoid buying it IMO. Overall I would strongly recommend *not* buying this card even in a pinch. [Nov '19AgentOranJ]
Hyped as the "Ultimate GeForce", the 1080 Ti is NVIDIA's latest flagship 4K VR ready GPU. It supersedes last years GTX 1080, offering a 20% increase in performance for a 40% premium (founders edition 1080 Tis will be priced at $699, pushing down the price of the 1080 to $499). It also supersedes the prohibitively expensive Titan X Pascal, pushing it off poll position in performance rankings. The 1080 Ti is based on the Pascal architecture and features a slightly modified version of the same flagship GP102 silicon found in the Titan X Pascal. It has 11GB of the high bandwidth GDDR5X video memory (versus 12GB in the Titan X Pascal) and an impressive 11GB frame buffer. Like the Titan X Pascal, it features 12bn transistors and 3584 CUDA cores which can run at a boost clock speed of 1.582 GHz – 3% faster than the Titan X Pascal's 1.531 GHz. This increased speed is partially attributable to the 1080 Ti’s new dualFET power system which allows the chip to run at higher power and more efficiently than ever before. The release of the 1080 Ti comes ahead of the competition from AMD's Vega - rumored for release in Q2 2017. Vega is AMD's next generation graphics card (following on from Polaris 10) featuring their new HBM2 die which is alleged to have eight times the capacity of GDDR5 with half of the footprint. NVDIA's own next generation graphics cards (Volta) are in the pipeline for 2018. [Mar '17GPUPro]
