NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti release date, news, price rumors: 10 GB VRAM variant to have below $1000 price tag

If the rumors are to be believed, the tech enthusiasts will see another powerful graphics card from NVIDIA early next year. This a great news, especially for the gamers who are still looking for the best graphics card to provide the highest possible graphics quality. It is rumored that a new video card based on NVIDIA's present Pascal architecture will be known as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The rumors are rife that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be the most powerful graphics card yet from the company, even surpassing some features of the top-tier Pascal Titan X.

Tech followers believe that the yet-to-be-released NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be superior compared to the powerful Pascal Titan X, although there will be certain departments where the latter is more powerful. As reported by WCCF Tech, the possible formidable rival of the Pascal Titan X could be a little less expensive. Specifically, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will have a price no greater than $1,000.

This price rumor came from a leaked document supposedly pertaining to the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti. The shipping of the GPU for testing is rumored to be spotted, revealing some of the video card's descriptions. Some of the core specifications of the GTX 1080 Ti include GP102 core, 384-bit memory bus, 16 nm process node, and VRAM going up to 10 GB. In spite of these impressive core specs, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is not expected to be more expensive than the Titan X as the GPU will not exceed the $1000 price mark. To add, the said leaked document reveals that the GTX 1080 Ti was first shipped from China last Nov. 8.

The WCCF Tech report did not reveal whether the GDDR to be used for the GTX 1080 Ti will be a GDDR5, or the much-advanced GDRR5X. If the latter was the case, this will be the GTX 1080 Ti's edge over the Pascal Titan X.

Yibada reported that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be showcased during the Consumer's Electronics Show (CES) 2017 in January. However, the public is advised to take these early rumors with a grain of salt until NVIDIA has confirmed the details.
