**A Closer Look at NVIDIA's Latest Graphics Card: The Founders NVDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TI**

Pretty much the same speed when you start looking at GPU boost now, GPU boost on both these cards will kind of put them to the same frequency but as I said the coolers will start to dynamically bring them down because they're just the founders cooler is the loudest and the hottest of all the cards. But one of the reasons why the 1080 TI is also faster than the Titan X that I found through a lot of Sanity testing because I was going nuts trying to figure out what is actually making this card faster, the 1080 TI uh it's over here actually but 1080 TI has a slightly improved cooler and because of the remove DVI port on the back and a little bit more surface area on the cooler and better airflow, this is able to keep the frequency a little bit higher before it's starts to hit that dynamically controlled thermal limit so the Titan X was slowing down on the frequency more so in the 1080 ti so faster memory and slightly faster core speed even at 70 fan speed the slightly improved cooler is indeed up to the task of keeping this faster than the Titan X.

Now, obviously when we see custom boards designed for this you guys all these cards you see behind you me here is custom cards it's going to be way faster than the Titan X because the Titan X they don't allow custom cards and custom coolers to be shipped with them attached some brands have come up with custom coolers you can put on here but they don't ship that way you got to do it yourself so as you guys saw speeds out of the box no overclocks applied to this the 1080 TI does indeed beat up its bigger brother a little bit these are pretty equally matched cards what's not equally matched about them is their price, the nice thing about the 1080 TI though is it does come into MSRP pricing of $599 there's no more artificial inflation of the pricing of the card because add-in cards are either Partners obviously are not going to price themselves under a Founder with MSRP because they feel their cards are better Etc et cetera, there's really no compelling argument to even consider that anymore which really kind of sucks because I have two of those and even though this is only a little bit faster and minor on Water I still go damn it I want the latest or greatest one and not to mention this one right here, this is this is one of Terry's cards, it's okay just the name alone makes it appropriate for for Terry because the guy's kind of a Titan himself and it's like yeah he's got Titans and again his are going to be on water um but yeah I mean it's just it's it's interesting to me that NVIDIA has completely cut off one of its own fingers over there.

And I think personally if if it wasn't for the fact that these were sponsored by NVIDIA again, thanks for sending these over for Terry Crews because I sure as heck can't afford 2 400 worth of graphics cards, uh I think people who got tight Nexus might be feeling a little bit disappointed because typically the Titans are shaved or the 1080 TI's or TI versions are shaved down Titans with less Cuda cores and whatnot not this time so the question is why is NVIDIA feeling a little bit of pressure from the upcoming launch from Vega, are they seeing what's kind of happening between the performance and cost ratio of AMD's Ryzen versus the X99 offerings on Intel are we seeing an answer to something that's not even out yet well time will tell and of course I'll be doing Vega launch stuff uh as well.

**Comparison with NVIDIA's Titan X**

The comparison between the GTX 1080 TI and the Titan X is quite interesting. The GPU boost on both cards puts them at the same frequency, but the coolers start to dynamically bring down the temperature of the cards due to their design. While the Titan X was slower in terms of frequency due to its cooling system.

**Why the GTX 1080 TI is faster**

One of the reasons why the GTX 1080 TI is faster than the Titan X is due to its improved cooler and additional surface area for better airflow. This allows the GTX 1080 TI to maintain a higher frequency before hitting its dynamically controlled thermal limit, making it slower than the Titan X.

**Custom Boards and Upgrades**

When it comes to custom boards designed for these cards, they will be way faster than the Titan X because the Titan X does not allow custom cards or custom coolers to be shipped with them. Some brands have created custom coolers that can be attached to the card, but this is a separate process.

**Price Comparison**

The price comparison between the GTX 1080 TI and the Titan X shows that the GTX 1080 TI comes in at MSRP pricing of $599, while the Titan X was priced higher due to its limited availability. The GTX 1080 TI also offers more competitive pricing, making it a better option for those looking for a high-performance graphics card.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TI is an impressive graphics card that offers faster performance and more affordable pricing than its predecessor, the Titan X. While custom boards and upgrades can make the card even faster, the base model still offers competitive pricing and improved cooling system.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey Nvidia what's up Jay here so I got that uh the delivery and I just want to make sure that we're all cool with that offshore Swiss bank account before we get going yep that that's the one okay so we're good on that cool all right guys thanks I'll uh I'll talk to you in a bit I'll let you know when the job's done all right bye now we can continue so what you think you know I'll be honest I'm uh kind of impressed by its proportions I know right all right but let me show you something here I kind of like the thin ones but this one is about form factor you have it mine can fit in tight spaces with girth you could open tight spaces it's like a master key whether you like thick or thin the ITX lineup from fractal design is sure to have something that tickles your fancy remember it's not the size that matters it's all about how you use it not it's definitely the girl no Fitness Gary there's no contest no there's contest it's good thank you okay all joking aside guys let's go ahead and talk about the newest addition to the Pascal family of Nvidia gpus and I'm gonna go ahead and say it right now because some of you guys are going to say it anyway I was wrong I said on Tech talk and Jerry will confirm that I said there was no room for the 1080 TI in the already pretty cluttered Pascal lineup and one of the cards that's not even here is the three gigabyte uh GTX 1060. it's a very cluttered stack in my opinion so I didn't feel like there was room for this obviously I was wrong 10 months into a life cycle of a graphics card is still perfectly legit to introduce a new top dog now am sorry I know right all this AMD should have been doing recently Nvidia touted a couple of things that I want to check in this video the first being that the 1080 TI is up to 35 faster than the GTX 1080 and then they kind of made a quick little reference but didn't have any charts to support it that it's faster than the Pascal Titan X now obviously I've got two Titan XPS in Skunk Works and this Titan right here is actually one of Terry crews's Titans that I've yet to put in there so of course the the claim that a 1080 TI is faster had me kind of sitting on pins and needles a little bit about crap did I did this take too long now but anyway we're gonna check all of that okay now I don't want to talk a whole lot about specs we've already done videos about specs I did a quick little video at GDC there's gonna be tons of videos about this uh that's actually not under embargo anymore so you guys should already know by now so I'm gonna do a little bit of a high level here now typically what Nvidia will do is they'll take their Titan X Card shave off a few Cuda chorus have a little bit less memory a little bit maybe slower memory and then they'll call that the ti no this is different they actually have a the full 3584 Cuda cores in the 1080 TI which already has you kind of going okay so what's the difference now the 1080 TI does have a few less robs in the Titan X coming in at 88 versus the 96 over here on the Titan X but the 1080 TI actually gets a boost in memory speed over the Titan X coming in at 11 gigabit per second versus the Titan X's 10 gigabit per second strange it also has 11 gigabytes of g5x versus the 12 gigabytes of memory on the Titanic so what really happened here is it's exactly the same core wise the same gp102 core but they gave it a memory speed boost thousand megahertz of memory speed boost the question is how much is that going to make up for rops and things now before we talk about the benchmarks there's a few things I want to lead in with one I am using press release drivers so these are not the official game ready drivers these are Early Access the other thing to mention too is all of the cards I use in 1980 TI 1080 1080i and Titan X are running with a static fan speed of 70 percent and the reason why I did that all of these cards hit their thermal Max which means that GPU boost basically shuts down and you no longer get any of that benefit because in order to keep The Thermals under control it starts to slow down the clock to where the base clock is or not the base clock the base boost clock of whatever these cards are so you do get the Boost clock you just don't get the benefit of GPU boost 3.0 that takes the speed up and above and beyond that I think most people are waiting for the add-in cards which are gonna have custom coolers anyway but like I said full transparency 70 fan speed on all the cards tested thank you foreign thank you as you guys could see the 1080 TI did indeed best the GTX Titan X in pretty much all the tests interestingly enough though the Titan X performed better in fire strike and in time spy then the 1080 TI did but then the 1080 TI did pretty much better across the board in all the games now we're talking to different stuff like one or two FPS sometimes maybe up to like three or four which is not a huge difference but obviously the huge difference between these two is the price we're talking 1200 Bucks versus 700 bucks so what do you get for the extra 500 on a Titan X well you get eight extra drops you get 88 drops versus 96 on the Titan X and you get one extra gigabyte of slower memory they're both running g5x although the 1080 TI due to its improved power delivery and its dual fat power delivery they've also found a way to squeak even more performance out of their memory the 11 gigabytes of g5x on here has a throughput of 11 gigabits per second now what do you get for 500 hundred extra bucks with the Titan X well you get one extra gigabyte of slower memory and you get uh eight extra drops those two things are not worth 500 especially for gamers now let's talk about the memory because it's really the memory that's making the 1080 TI faster than the Titan X remember they're the exact same Cuda core count and they are I pretty much the same speed when you start looking at GPU boost now GPU boost on both these cards will kind of put them to the same frequency but as I said the coolers will start to dynamically bring them down because they're just the founders cooler is the loudest and the hottest of all the cards but one of the reasons why the 1080 TI is also faster than the Titan X that I found through a lot of Sanity testing because I was going nuts trying to figure out what is

allow custom cards and custom coolers to be shipped with them attached some brands have come up with custom coolers you can put on here but they don't ship that way you got to do it yourself so as you guys saw speeds out of the box no overclocks applied to this the 1080 TI does indeed beat up its bigger brother a little bit these are pretty equally matched cards what's not equally matched about them is their price the nice thing about the 1080 TI though is it does come into MSRP pricing of 6.99s there's no more artificial inflation of the pricing of the card because add-in cards are either Partners obviously are not going to price themselves under a Founder with MSRP because they feel their cards are better Etc et cetera there's really no compelling argument to even consider that anymore which really kind of sucks because I have two of those and even though this is only a little bit faster and minor on Water I still go damn it I want the latest or greatest one and not to mention this one right here this is this is one of Terry's cards it's okay just the name alone makes it appropriate for for Terry because the guy's kind of a Titan himself and it's like yeah he's got Titans and again his are going to be on water um but yeah I mean it's just it's it's interesting to me that Nvidia has completely cut off one of its own fingers over there and I think personally if if

so the question is why is NVIDIA feeling a little bit of pressure from the upcoming launch from Vega are they seeing what's kind of happening between the performance and cost ratio of amd's ryzen versus the x99 offerings on Intel are we seeing an answer to something that's not even out yet well time will tell and of course I'll be doing Vega launch stuff uh as well and of course add-in card Partners or add-in boards whatever you want to call them aics aibs everyone calls it something a little different when they start launching you'll start seeing them and we'll see how much in gain there is to be had once you keep the cooling down and the clock speed up guys thanks for watching I love doing graphics cards reviews these are fun it's the only chance I get to play games anymore Grant and Ella get to play the same benchmarks in the same missions over and over and over again but damn it I'm getting good at those missions but it's not like I have enough video cards as it is right anyway guys one more thing I got to do here before I get out of here let me just make a quick uh hey video what's up Jay here yep so the deed is done now um you guys just gotta you know kind of keep up your end of the bargain there all right funds have been transferred great so uh also too I've been meaning to ask how are the kids doing the the kids I gave you last year for the Titan X's that are that are currently in Skunk Works now oh I see you know the great thing about kids is you can always make more all right thanks thanks againhey Nvidia what's up Jay here so I got that uh the delivery and I just want to make sure that we're all cool with that offshore Swiss bank account before we get going yep that that's the one okay so we're good on that cool all right guys thanks I'll
