The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founder's Edition Review: Bigger Pascal for Better Performance
by Ryan Smith on March 9, 2017 9:00 AM ESTThe Division
The final first person shooter in our benchmark suite, The Division is a multiplayer-only game powered by Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine. The game’s design focuses on detailed urban environments and utilizes dynamic global illumination for parts of its lighting. For our testing we use the game’s built-in benchmark, which cycles through a number of scenes/areas of the game.
Unlike The Witcher, NVIDIA won’t be able to hit 60fps with the GTX 1080 Ti at 4K, but at 54.7fps, they come close. Otherwise at 1440p, there’s performance to spare, which should make high refresh rate monitor owners happy.
On a relative basis, this is another strong game for the GTX 1080 Ti. The card picks up 34% over the GTX 1080, and 71% over the GTX 980 Ti. And for those GTX 780 Ti owners still out there, we’re looking at a pretty consistent 2.6x increase in performance across all resolutions.

I upgraded from aAsus 1080GTX 8oc and it made a huge difference for me.
OW was 110 fps now running about 155

Ok is it me but why are all the games old AF? AND why is the 800-pound gorilla named BF1 missing from just about every review?stardude82 - Friday, March 10, 2017 - link
Quick search pulls up many BF1 benchmarks for the 1080 Ti...bill44 - Friday, March 10, 2017 - link
Thanks Ryan, nice review.Still missing info/specs on Audio (inc. supported sampling rates), which, I suspect, you still not have at hand.
I have asked about this in the past.

Does the 1080 Ti have dual DMA channels as the Titan X does?MarkieGcolor - Saturday, March 11, 2017 - link
Nvidia is so gay. I don't understand why people complain that intel's chips slowly optimize over the years. You seriously want your hardware to depreciate 50% every year?Meteor2 - Tuesday, March 14, 2017 - link
That's one way to look at it! But lose the homophobia.prateekprakash - Sunday, March 12, 2017 - link
Hi,After going through the well written review, I think: wouldn't it be nice if AIB partners (atleast one of them) released a blower type card with 3 slots, so that it could include a heftier heatsink, yet exhaust heat out? That way I could consider putting it in a congested chassis and not worrying about thermal throttling. PS: here in India, my zotac gtx 1060 mini reaches 78° c even in open air!

GP106-GP102 have the same 4x int8 performance according to this article:https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/mixed-p...

I have a GTX 1080Ti and to date, I've been using FSX which apparently devotes more use to the CPU than the GPU. I've just loaded P3D - and it really does look super smooth. The temp maxed out around 85 degs - and my monitoring software was having kittens showing me temps in the RED zone.Can thus GPU continue to run at this temp indefinitely? For unlimited hours?
Is it going to damage the card in the long run?
I'd appreciate your kind advice.
