Product Showcase

 
The 1080 Ti is based upon the GP102 graphics processor from Nvidia, it is a Pascal 16 nm FinFet architecture based GPU, and with 12 billion transistors, 3,584 shader/stream cores, and 11 GB of GDDR5X, it’s an impressive product series. In Ultra HD it can advance up-to becoming a true Ultra HD capable graphics card solution.
 

The GPU powering it all is called the GP102-350-A1 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has a proper 3,584 CUDA cores, while texture filtering is performed by 224 texture units. The reference (Founder Edition) cards have a base clock frequency of 1,480 MHz and perform texture filtering at 332 Gigatexels/sec. This HOF clocks in at a default of 1,569 MHz, a 89 MHz higher clock frequency seen over reference. As stated before, that button places the fans into high RPM.

The card has a 250 Watt TDP, 75 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, but then 150+150+150 Watts through the 3x 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connectors, that means a board power design of 525 Watts. And yes, it is a heavy bloke at a bit over one Kg. That's plenty spare for a nice tweak but be aware that due to the clocks , the boost frequency already hovers around the 1,925 GHz marker. At the backside you can spot some extra LED strip connectors. 

At the top side of the PCB you'll notice some SMT pins, you can monitor the card mem/gpu/aux voltages with a Digital Multi-Meter.
