The first NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 review has been published by PCPOP ahead of the NDA. The GeForce GTX 1080 review confirms that the graphics card is as of right now, the fastest single chip graphics card on the planet with performance well beyond the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and the Radeon R9 Fury X graphics cards. This insane improvement in performance per watt is achieved with the latest Pascal GP104 GPU which is built on the 16nm FinFET architecture which is detailed below.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is the next chapter of evolution in the GeForce family. Based on the Pascal GPU architecture, the GeForce 10 series cards deliver the fastest graphics performance on a single chip. These GPUs are extremely efficient and deliver better performance per watt compared to previous generation offerings.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 features the GP104-400-A1 GPU with 7.2 Billion transistors. The GPU comes with 2560 CUDA cores, 160 Texture Mapping Units and 64 Raster Operation Units. The card has clock speeds of 1604 MHz and 1733 MHz which deliver up to 9 TFLOPs of single precision compute performance and can boost to higher clock speeds with the new GPU Boost 3.0 algorithm.

NVIDIA GPU Boost 3.0 allows for per voltage point frequency offset which delivers maximum clock speeds per voltage point. This allows huge gains in clock speeds with stock configurations where the GPU can boost even beyond the reference boost clocks. The GPU can theoretically boost beyond 2 GHz frequency and can overclock in a similar way.

NVIDIA features 8 GB of GDDR5X memory on their GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. The next generation GDDR memory runs at 10 GB/s effective speeds along a 256-bit bus. This delivers a total cumulative bandwidth of 320 GB/s. The card has a pixel fill rate of 102.8 GPixels/s and texture fill rate of 257.1 GTexels/s. The card has a 180W TDP which will be powered through a single 8-Pin connector. Display outputs include 3 Display Port 1.4a, HDMI 2.0b and a single DVI-D port.
