The GeForce GTX 1080 takes advantage of Pascal 16 nm FinFet architecture, and with 7.2 billion transistors, 2,560 shader/stream cores, and 8 GB of GDDR5X, it’s a rather feisty product. In Ultra HD it can advance up-to 25 to 40% in performance over the GeForce GTX 980 as we learned. It'll be faster compared to the 980 Ti and Titan X as well.

The GPU empowering the product is called the GP104-400 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has a nice 2,560 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 160 texture units. It has a base clock frequency of 1,607 MHz and performs texture filtering at 277 Gigatexels/sec, quick math tells us that’s roughly 70% better opposed to a GeForce GTX 980.

The card has a 180 Watt TDP, 75-150 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 150 Watts through the single 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connector. You'll still have plenty spare for a nice overclock! The GeForce GTX 1080 display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0 support, the GeForce GTX 1080 can be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs.

BTW, above, the offical packaging for the Founders Edition. Nvidia will be selling this as a premium part, with a bit of a premium price at 699 USD. The premium materials and components include a die-cast aluminum body and low profile backplate, all machine finished and heat treated for strength and rigidity.
