[G.O.G]

The geeks of PC video games are insatiable. They have graphic cards of an enormous power able to leave to the PS4 Pro almost to the height of a Mini NES. But they want more. And NVIDIA is willing to give it to you.

In spite of the excellent performance of beasts like the plates equipped with chips GTX 1080 and GTX Titan X, the rumors about a new GTX 1080 Ti, a vitaminized version of the GTX 1080, have not stopped producing. In the end, it's a tradition of its latest generations of chips: NVIDIA always ends up with a Ti version, which puts the performance of the current architecture to the maximum.

In a strange way, through a job offer on LinkedIn, NVIDIA has confirmed the launch of GTX 1080 Ti cards, although it does not mention dates. As we have commented, it is an improved version of the current GTX 1080:

One curious fact that is stated in this message on LinkedIn is that current users of the GTX 980 Ti boards will have priority when it comes to buying the new GTX 1080 Ti. Information confirms that the first batch will be very short, something that is usually common with all new NVIDIA chips, which takes weeks, even months to reach all stores, due to its high demand.

And what technical characteristics can we expect from what could be the fastest graphics card in history? Some unofficial data has been leaked through shipping documents and other sources. It is known to use the GP102 chip, the same as the GTX Titan X (Pascal). It will use a 384-bit memory interface with a bandwidth of 480 GB / sg, compared to the 320 GB / sg of the GTX 1080. The performance is An unknown, but with this data will exceed 11 or 12 TFLOP, improving the 9 TFLOP of the current GTX 1080.

The goal will be to compete with the new AMD Vega boards, so the GTX 1080 Ti is likely to be launched on the same dates in the early months of 2017.
