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 empowering it all is called the GP102-350-A1 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has a nice 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 PALIT Gamerock Premium clocks in at a default of 1,595 MHz, a 115 MHz higher clock frequency seen over reference.

The reference cards have a 250 Watt TDP, 75 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 150+150 Watts through the 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connectors that means a board power design of 375 Watts. And yes, it is heavy at 1.3kg.

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. Located at the backside plate you will notice a small gap, if you use a tiny screwdriver or something, you can change the micro-switch. Basically this is the dual-bios - the card run default in its fastest OC modes, yet switch it and you will run Silent mode with lower clocks but still faster than reference clocks at a nice 1518 MHz base clock, this is a nice feature/option to have.

At the backside of the PCB you'll notice four pins, you can add a LED strip here for RGB LED functionality. Hey it's still a trend and Palit is obviously following.
