ASUS To Release Strix and Turbo Models of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

On it's twitter account ASUS is announcing a Strix and Turbo Model of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The screenshot shows both cads, the turbo version a bit of a simplified model and the Strix model obviously comes all customized and is paired with a DirectCU based cooler and three fans.

The Turbo model is a more base model, I would like to say a more 'budget' model but that claim would be off with a 1080 Ti of course :) Nvidia yesterday announced the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, the new high-end GTX 1080 Ti features 3584 CUDA Cores, 224 Texture Units, a 352-bit memory controller and 11 GB of GDDR5X memory. The card should be faster than a reference Titan X and 30% faster compared to a GTX 1080.

The card has the same "GP102" GPU as the TITAN X Pascal, the GTX 1080 Ti but was slighty cut-down. Interesting is the 352-bit with GDDR5X memory interface, this was not expected. This translates to 11 memory chips on the card which run at 11 GHz (GDDR5X-effective), the memory bandwidth is 484 GB/s. Thiis means the ROP count is would be 88 (from 96 on the TITAN X Pascal), and the TMU count 224.The Ti will boost up to 1600 MHz, but the overclocking potential is much like all GeForce Pascal cards in the 2 GHz range. The GTX 1080 Ti has 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors and TDP around 220 W.

It will be intersting to see what clock freqeuncies the board partners cards will get.
