Is the GTX 1080 Ti still worth buying?

It remains strong for 1440p raster gaming, but it has no ray tracing or DLSS. Buy it for raw performance, not modern features.

How much VRAM does it have?

It has 11GB of GDDR5X, enough for high-resolution textures and 4K gaming.

Does it support ray tracing?

No. Ray tracing and DLSS arrived with later RTX cards, so this Pascal GPU does not offer them.

What power supply does it need?

Plan for a quality PSU in the 600W range or higher with the required PCIe power connectors.

How does it compare with the RTX 2080?

Raster performance is close, but the RTX 2080 adds ray tracing and DLSS. The 1080 Ti has more VRAM.

It is a long triple-fan card, so check your case's GPU clearance before buying.

Our take on the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card

The GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is an AORUS-branded Pascal-generation gaming card built around NVIDIA's 11GB GDDR5X flagship GPU. Its selling point is the cooling stack: a large copper base plate over the GPU and VRAM, a copper back plate, and the WINDFORCE triple-fan module covering the rest of the board. It suits gamers running 1440p high refresh or 4K who want a proven card with headroom for overclocking. Against newer rivals it lacks ray tracing and DLSS, so it trades modern features for raw raster performance and a mature, well-cooled design.

Pros

11GB of GDDR5X memory handles large textures and high resolutions
Copper base plate cools GPU and VRAM together
Copper back plate adds rear-side heat dissipation
WINDFORCE triple-fan module covers VRAM and MOSFETs
Solid overclocking headroom for a Pascal card

Cons

No ray tracing or DLSS support
Runs hot and draws a lot of power under load
Large triple-fan cooler needs case clearance
Old architecture means weaker driver support over time

About the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card

This GIGABYTE graphics card is built on the NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture and is part of the AORUS line for gaming. It is a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti model.

Cooling covers the GPU, the VRAM and the MOSFET, which supports stable overclocking and longer component life. On the front, a large copper base plate draws heat from the GPU and VRAM. On the back, a copper back plate dissipates heat from the back of the GPU.

The WINDFORCE cooling module cools the other key components on the card.
