NVIDIA has a new teaser page posted on GeForce.com and we can confirm that this is for their upcoming enthusiast product, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be regarded as the ultimate GeForce product and we have six days before we get the first official look at the high-performance card.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Confirmed Through GeForce Teaser Page - Aims To Deliver The Ultimate GeForce Experience

The GeForce.com teaser page doesn't reveal much, it has a small video that runs in the background. We can note the "Ti" logo in the very first second. The second hint is the "Ti" name used again in the heading that reads "It's Almost Time" where the Ti is bold.

But that could obviously mean the GeForce GTX 2080 Ti right? Actually, no. This is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti as found out by Videocardz in the HTML editor view. The site clearly says "GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Countdown" hence confirming that we will finally get an official announcement related to NVIDIA's behemoth card. This announcement also comes a few weeks after NVIDIA was confirmed to host a GeForce GTX Gaming Celebration event at GDC 2017 so I guess there should be no doubt what this event is related to.

The site says that the announcement comes in 6 days. To be specific, it's 6 days and 7 hours (at the time of posting this news). The site also makes use of the hashtag "#UltimateGeForce" which means that the green team is getting ready for a big product launch. So, let's do a bit of speculation in regards to the GPU specs this card is going to have. As mentioned, all the specs are rumors and speculation at this point as a lot has changed over the past few months which we are going to discuss below.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Specifications Speculation

NVIDIA has always launched Titan class products first before their Ti class brothers. All generations saw the same trend, the GTX 780 Ti was released 10 months after the GTX Titan, the GTX 980 Ti was released 3 months after the GTX Titan X and the GeForce GTX Titan X (Pascal) was launched 6 months before the GTX 1080 Ti announcement. We don't know if NVIDIA is actually going to launch the product on 28th of February or just announce it along with a later release date (let's say March 2017). Then it'll be a 7 month difference in between the two cards.

Time duration for these cards release can actually give us a hint at the specifications. The GTX 780 Ti was better in terms of specifications compared to the original Titan and bested it in all possible ways. There was also the launch of R9 290X to factor in. The GTX 980 Ti however was just 3 months apart from its Titan X brother. Also, AMD was to release their product several weeks later and given the earlier GPU performance leaks, they knew that a cut down variant which AIBs had the freedom to experiment with can keep up with the Radeon counterpart. That ended up well, but the GTX 980 Ti wasn't a full chip like the GTX 780 Ti or the GTX Titan X.

It has been some time since the GTX Titan X (Pascal) launched and AMD is on the verge of unveiling the Radeon Vega cards at GDC 2017. Although launch is later, NVIDIA knows that AMD is stealing away their show in the GPU department. And what else could be a better time to hit back at GDC with a strong GPU product announcement. The belief is that the GTX 1080 Ti can possibly be a fully geared Pascal product rather than a cut down variant since Titan X (P) is last year's best card and the 1080 Ti aims to be 2017's best card from NVIDIA GeForce.
