Aorus GeForce GTX 1080TI 11264MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Aorus 11G is equipped with the very latest WindForce 3X cooler and runs on the renowned Pascal architecture. The GPU boasts 11GB GDDR5X Memory, a massive 11 GB frame buffer, 1708 MHz OC Boost Clock, RGB Fusion Lighting and a specially designed black metal backplate.

Aorus graphic cards feature the very latest in technologies and this model in particular is perfectly suited to VR thanks to AORUS VR Link that adds an additional front facing HDMI port to compliment the already plentiful rear IO. Supporting multiple monitors and an 8K resolution at 60Hz the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Aorus 11G really does enable an incredible gaming experience in both VR and in a 'standard' gaming environment.

Aorus has engineered an 'all around' cooling solution that not only protects the GPU but also the VRAM and MOSFET, ensuring stable performance and a longer operating life. The key internal components are not only cooled by the acclaimed WINDFORCE 3X tri fan cooling module but interfaced with larger copper plates that dissipate heat a magnitude faster than previous models.

With 16.7m colour options and a variety of lighting effects the integrated RGB Fusion will allow the card to perfectly blend with your systems unique style.

Features:

  • 1708 MHz OC Boost Clock
  • 11 GB GDDR5X VRAM - 5505 MHz (effective 11010 MHz)
  • 3584 CUDA Cores (shaders)
  • WindForce 3X cooler design with backplate
  • RGB-LED lighting
  • 2x 8 Pin PCIe power connectors
  • Internal front panel HDMI connector


NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card Overview

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is based on the GP102-GPU Pascal architecture and is the flagship GPU of the GeForce GTX 10-series. Employing a massive 11 GB of VRAM, 3584 CUDA cores as well as a minimum boost clock of 1582MHz, the GTX 1080 Ti was made for 4K/UHD-resolution gaming, and represents an excellent choice for experiencing the best that Virtual Reality has to offer - as demanded by HMDs like the HTC Vive.

Forged with the new 16-nm FinFET manufacturing process, the GPU fits 12 billion transistors onto the 471 mm² GP1102 die. The 16 nm process, in combination with the Pascal architecture, also permits a notable reduction in power consumption over previous generations with a 250 Watt TDP.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is equipped with 11 GB GDDR5X VRAM which is connected to the chipset using a 384-bit memory interface. GDDR5X VRAM has a 50% higher bandwidth when compared to GDDR5 VRAM which, combined with the high memory clock frequencies, allows a memory bus bandwidth of 484 GB/s.

Virtual Reality and 4K gaming with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Simultaneous Multi-Projection 4.0 (SMP) allows the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to conserve geometry-rendering performance by rendering multiple perspectives (known as "Viewports") in a single pass. The Pascal architecture supports up to 16 Viewports simultaneously. SMP is primarily of interest to users of Virtual Reality (VR) and can massively improve the performance of the GTX 1080 TI during VR-related applications when compared to its predecessors.

One component of SMP 4.0 is known as Lens-Matched Shading (LMS). LMS optimises image rendering and prevents parts of the image unseen by the user (Due to Headset limitations) to remain unrendered.

Asynchronous Compute is the simultaneous execution of both the necessary calculations and render requests - This is especially relevant in the context of APIs like DirectX 12 or Vulkan. As a result, faster and more efficient communication between the CPU and GPU occurs. Pascal architecture is designed to allow the GTX 1080 Ti to pause calculations and buffer them, also known as "pre-emption".

Asynchronous Timewarp and Interleaved Reprojection technologies are techniques utilised by VR HMDs to prevent frame-rates falling below 90 Hertz. Asynchronous Compute allows the GP102 GPU to better prioritise these rendering techniques to guarantee an incredible VR experience.
