Ahead of the official NDA date
Just a day ahead of the official date when we expect to see reviews of the new Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 graphics card, the full specifications have found their way online.
Although official NDA date for reviews is set for today, May 17th, the full specifications of Nvidia's Geforce GTX 1080 has been leaked online, showing full details of the 16nm FinFET based GP104 Pascal GPU.
The Nvidia Pascal GP104 GPU, which is behind both the Geforce GTX 1080 and the Geforce GTX 1070 graphics cards has four Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs). Each GPC packs 5 Stream Multiprocessors (SM), each with two blocks of 64 CUDA cores, adding up to 2560 CUDA cores. It also packs 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs. The single-precision compute performance is set at 8.2 TFLOPs.
The GP104 GPU has a die size of 314 mm2 and packs 7.2 billion transistors, which is almost half the die size of the Maxwell GM200 GPU seen behind the Geforce GTX 980 Ti.
The GP104 GPU on the GTX 1080 graphics card is clocked at 1607MHz base GPU clock and has a 1733MHz maximum GPU Boost clock. The Geforce GTX 1080 is also the first graphics card to come with GDDR5X memory. To be precise, the GTX 1080 comes with 8GB of GDDR5X memory, clocked at 1250MHz (10GHz effective), paired up with a 256-bit memory interface, adding up to a total memory bandwidth of 320GB/s.
The GP104 GPU also uses new memory compression technology. This is the Fourth Generation Delta Color Compression and should deliver 1.7 times higher bandwidth compared to the GTX 980, the card that Nvidia usually uses for comparison with the new GTX 1080.
The TDP of the GTX 1080 is set at 180W and it needs a single 8-pin PCI-Express power connector. Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 comes with DVI output, which does not support analog D-Sub, single HDMI and three DisplayPort display outputs.
Nvidia also introduced the new High Bandwidth SLI with the GTX 1080 but earlier rumors suggest that this one will be limited only to 2-way SLI.
The price of the GTX 1080 is set at US $599 with Founders Edition, which is the new reference graphics card, selling for US $699. Full reviews should be up later today and we will surely be checking them out just to see how well it actually compares with the previous generation graphics cards.
