GeForce GTX 1080
NVIDIA's flagship delivers unprecedented graphics performance in 4K resolution.
16nm chip
The new Pascal GP104 chip, consisting of 7.2 billion transistors, runs at a considerably higher frequency compared with previous generations.
VR support
The card calculates multiple views of the same scene simultaneously, helping to achieve fantastic results in virtual reality applications.
Groundbreaking modern platform
The Pascal GP104 graphics chip features 2560 CUDA cores, accompanied by 160 texture units. The chip is clocked at 1607 MHz and can even reach an impressive 1733 MHz in Boost Mode.
Virtual reality has never been so close
The GeForce GTX 1080 is expected to advance virtual reality significantly thanks to its brand new GDDR5X memory. A new manufacturing process enables it to reach faster throughput, and the memory clock has skyrocketed to a stunning 10 GHz.
Generally, you can expect up to 3 times faster performance when using VR applications.
A serious increase in power
The ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition is equipped with a reference cooler, which holds up well when overclocking the card by up to 15%. Not that it's necessary, however; with most popular games, the GeForce GTX 1080 provides a 30% performance boost compared with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
