At a special event today, Nvidia has announced their new flagship graphics card: the GeForce GTX 1080. This card uses a new Pascal GPU, built on a 16nm FinFET process, as well as GDDR5X memory from Micron.
Nvidia says they spent several billions of dollars developing Pascal, and the result is a massive GPU capable of powering today and tomorrow's games at ultra quality settings. It's also energy efficient thanks to improvements in the way Nvidia delivers power to the GPU, making Pascal the company's most efficient architecture yet.
According to Nvidia, the GTX 1080 is "a whole lot" faster than the Titan X, and faster than two GTX 980s in SLI, while consuming a lot less power. The chart above sees the GTX 1080 consume around 180W of power, compared to the 165W TDP of the GTX 980.
