NOW: Nvidia has unveiled GTX 1080! – Tek.no

Updated 4:40: See specifications GTX 1070 and 1080 further down in the article.

Tek.no/Austin, TX: In this moment keeps graphics card manufacturer Nvidia a big press conference in Austin, Texas. We are for this opportunity to present the “Cowboy Capital” and will keep this issue to date on the latest announcements that may come from the stage into the night.

If we are to believe all the rumors that has circulated in advance of event, we can now learn more about the company’s new generation of graphics cards based on the highly anticipated “Pascal” media may. So this is “Maxwell (Optional)” and GTX 900 series replaces.

GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 is released!

From the stage Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang released new GTX 1080, the successor to the GTX 980. The company will have invested several billion dollars in the development of its new graphics card series.

This has resulted in, among other GTX 1080, which is based on 16-nanometer FinFET technology and adopting new Micron GDDR5X memory. This will be so fast memory bus will no longer pose a limitation on the graphics processor says Huang.

1080 should be faster than two 980 in SLI and far faster than Titan X – which is (was) the world’s faster graphics card!

With Pascal and GTX 1000 series think Nvidia they finally managed to gather the forces needed to enable 3D graphics in real time of the same quality as so-called CGI videos.

overclocked dream

“Pascal” GTX 1080 will overclock very well, and from the scene demonstrated a GTX 1080 running the entire 2.1 GHz! For those who now disturbs you for heat generation, temperature Pascal chip ranges from 65 to 67 Celsius under full load, only cooled with air of EVGA ACXs cooler.

GTX 1080 is twice faster than Titan X and three times the energy efficiently.
