GTX 1080 Ti Review! The Best GPU for 4K 60fps Gaming!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2017
- Three new GPU kings in under a year. Nvidia's on a roll - so just how powerful is the new GTX 1080 Ti? Can it beat Titan X Pascal - and is it really 35% faster than GTX 1080?

The Wichard 3 : Wild Hunt
Its so well optimized for 1080p gaming, incredible. Even the Ps4 version is excellent, honestly.
Consider how anti-aliasing is so demolishing to fps as 4k. Whenever I run games at 4k I always switch it off completely, as it's a total waste of GPU bandwidth as I see.
William Fenton the high resolution takes care of most of the aliasing from what Ive seen. in a few games its actually easier on performance to just supersample instead of using antialiasing solutions
AA and Shadows are always the first thing you tune down coz they make little difference in 4K anyway.
are you sure dear?
True bro. You really don't need it at all at 4k
@Alvin depends on the game though. I've played a few games where there's very little difference in performance between low and ultra shadows. Would never have guess but that's why it's important to do benchmarking.
this is why we have 2 kidneys
my subscription feed just got raped by 1080ti reviews
j0bbers Cuz NDA
This card is still has relevant performance today, at PS5 levels without RT and DLSS
This Card still holds up well In 2021. Maybe not so much at 4K as it is more rough with that Resolution in modern games but In many games It can still do 1440P Ultra 60FPS just fine.
Rich is back and pulling out the big guns!
*wich
Witcher 3 60FPS at 4k?
SOLD!
rather have 144 fps on 1080p . 4k is overrated as fuck
1080p is dog water @@deathrager2404
RICHARD IS BACK BABY....you are awesome, the music in running in background plus rich's voice behind = GOLDEN DF ATMOSPHERE
I think they purposefully gimped its VRAM so that the Titan XP still has a reason to exist.
I really don't know how 1GB change anything aspecially in games which barely use half of this VRAM
Richard, I APPRECIATE you. You sound so knowledgeable and wise, I don't know if that's your English accent or your grey hair perhaps both.
سلیمان ذوالفقار We the best, Rich is love, Rich is life.
Immense Data as long as Rich is life, then your life is Rich
11GB of VRAM with 11Gbps chips of GDDR5.
"This goes to 11" - Nvidia probably
11 tflops also.
Ah yes. The 1080ti or how I like to call it the 1170. The card I will actually afford 1 year from now, when it comes out
Svarthofde or two :/
*2070
The 1070 was faster than all the maxwell cards by a good margin, including the 980 Ti and Titan XM
Svarthofde That's if they don't up the price of new generation cards yet again
OneTwoMark I think that will depend on AMD's cards. Hopefully Volta top chip will be on the standards of the next Titan so they can trickle down cut-down variants. Otherwise there's no telling what prices we might see
Would this be enough for 240p gaming?
You might get 15-20 FPS on the lowest settings.
Ashil 144p 60fps
Tofias Damn right lol
Dunno why people laugh, I used to play UT @ 240p online with a 56k modem.
I got about 25fps.
Got about 1 fps at 800x600 - was hard to be competitive like that... I weirdly miss my 233mhz machine with 32mb of RAM and 3mb onboard VC
its enough if you pair it with a pentium 4
Great to have you back Richard
Richard welcome back! Good to see you.
nice to see Richard again
Mythical Snake DAMMIT THIS IS WHY HE LEFT!
70 FPS The Witcher 3 in 4k OMG! my ASUS STRIX GTX 1080 only get 45-55 FPS, but I will wait until Nvidia launch Volta with HBM2 to upgrade my GPU.
overclock! it's a STRIX!!
Yeah I'll wait for Volta too. I have a 4yo build with the Titan Black. Very happy with it and it will last me a while more but at most 1440p if I want any frames. Seems like Volta is the right time for an uppgrade for me.
I have a strix 1080, overclock it! I got it to 2.1ghz getting +100fps in 1440p ultra no hairworks
Make sure you keep NVIDIA Gimp Works off.
Geralt De Rivia When is Volta though?
Just waiting on mine to ship! Gotta love new GPU excitement :D
I missed you Wichard, welcome back! :D
99% of the people in the comments will not upgrade just came to watch lol
i did......
Same. It's coming tomorrow.
10:48 hearing it now in 2022 is hilarious )))
The Triumvirate of Reviews: Digital Foundry, Gamer Nexus and Hardware Unboxed. Thank you again for an in-depth, knowledgeable analysis :)
Very good video, lots of info in this, thanks!
Finally some PC content. I thought they had completely forgotten about it. I hope to see more often PC stuff around here.
Great Video!
You guys should do a video on the current state of SLI/CROSSFIRE, is it a reliable solution? Is it worth investing on a multi GPU gaming PC? Also, how well does performance scale from using two GPUs to using three or even four GPUs?
It would be great if you guys did that analysis, i'm an SLI user and i have noticed that fewer games support or perform well on multi GPU now.
Fábio Borges
The answer to that is no. Games now a days barely support Crossfire/sSLI. It's pointless to do that.
Fábio Borges
The answer to that is no. Games now a days barely support Crossfire/sSLI. It's pointless to do that.
Fábio Borges sli is great solution, granted some game's don't use it but a vast majority do implement it at launch. Sad news tho nvidia has dropped 3 and 4 way sli.
Fábio Borges If Star Citizen supports SLI/crossfire, then yes -- it's worth it.
I have Titan X Pascal SLI (two cards) and in my experience it's a very good and reliable solution and the only way to game at 4K resolution 60 FPS with all details maxed out in every game at the moment. One Titan XP or 1080 Ti just won't cut it.
I'd say maybe like 90% of new games support SLI quite well and if you wait a few months after launch the support will just get better (like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which didn't support SLI at launch but now works perfectly). There's only a few modern games that don't support SLI, mostly Microsoft's Windows 10 store games like Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and Quantum Break. Oh, and Titanfall 2 from EA, but that game runs perfectly with just one Titan X Pascal.
great stuff Richard. i figured you'd make a Ryzen review but i'm sure you're waiting for bios revisions and windows optimizations (hopefully) to do a proper / thorough review. you guys are in my top 3 goto pc hardware review utube channels. great work. you save consumers a lot of time and money with what you do. ty
Glad that you're back Richard!
I missed you Wichard :)
Wichard is back! Captain Ginyu, commence The Dance of Joy
please, do the "daddy's little princess dance" afterwards. Sponsored by Cooler and Heatap. ^^
Great comparison between 4K and 1080p results. Really drives home how the 1080ti is very capable of 4K gaming in 2017 and definitely different to what every other TH-camr is uploading. Great work!
I love how you guys have an OnLive microconsole in the background. I miss that service.
WICHARDDDDDDDD! FINALLY!
And as always, great work on these hardware review :)
Yeah, I can see that there are TONS of 1080Ti reviews out there.
But none of them can match Wichard's elegance and the way of review that DF delivers. IMO, its much much better to show the framerate, and frametime at particular gaming situations, not some meaningless graph.
Why do you call him Wichard?
Because Witchard is the Witch of PC hardware :)
A message from the future.
In six years time you will be able to buy devices from 120€ to 750€ that will perform the same, their names are:
1080Ti, 2070, 2070S, 3060, Vega VII, 5700 XT, 6600 XT, 6650 XT, 6700, 7600, RTX A2000 6/12GB, ARC A750/A770/A770 16GB..rtx 4060 as powerful as game consoles PS5/Xbox Series X or computers with Apple M1/M2 Max.
They all will be called 1080p GPU and hundreds of reviewers, youtubers influencers and BSers... Will argue with you, no mater the facts.
I love digital foundry. Easily digested 11 minutes of the most interesting parts of this beast of a card. No more, not less. And they inevitably go into more technical detail in their write ups, should the viewer want more info. Good show.
Love your reviews all the time.
And then there is the Sony "4k" on an under-clocked rx470 at a cinematic 15fps .
lzhlzh no, it a Polaris card close to the rx470 only worse .
and the same piece of hardware get better pref because of Sony magic ?
You seem quite insecure....Especially since it's funny that there is NO game on PC which can rival games like Uncharted 4 or Horizon on PS4 Pro. I am a PC/console gamer btw.
+lzhlzh It's basically a 470
+Mustafa Sam It's not "Sony magic", it's optimization. Since every PS4Pro is EXACTLY the same, game devs can tweak their gameengines to perform the best possible way on the hardware of the PS4Pro.
@Whiting1289
Great games...if pretty old for the most part...the reason why I game on both platforms. It's just stupid to disrespect consoles and especially console gamers. It's immature and ignorant.
Richard!!!! Thought this man died or something. *whew*
trago1337 *Wichard
Great to see Richard back!!! I'll be replacing my 980Ti with this but I'm going to build a new PC. Going to try Intel this time.
This just makes me happy that I didn't run out and buy a Titan XP and decided to wait to build my new computer rig. Now I just need more info on the Ryzen chips to see if they can rival the top tier Intel chips for less money in various real world tests (and most especially gaming as you pointed out in your video here there were several titles that were actually hitting the CPU limit and not the GPU).
Ever since Horizon came out, PS4 fanboys are flooding PC, Switch and Xbox videos just trolling over and over. Yes, the game is good, but you guys show how awful fanboyism is. Sure, you will reply PC or Xbox fanboys are worse. Nope. Every video I see is you guys saying these things in swarms and blaming everything you don't own.
Phillip Scott in first place?
+Narata HZD is a good game but it's nothing special.Main story of the game is pretty lame , the background story was more intriguing.Physics in game was bad,Horrible lip syncing and many more problems.According to me game was 8.3 at most.
Oh come on....I game on PC and PS4 but there are NO worse fanboys than so called PC elitists.
TheDooDooBerry Savage 👌
I had to google what Horizon was. All i saw was another action/adventure game. Don't console have enough of them?
So my 6800K at 4GHz would bottle neck it at 1080p? damn
depending on the game, but yes it could happen, even if u oc it
its pretty interesting to think that at 1080p the cpu cant handle the frames, just another indication of how intel has not really been pushing the bar that high, just milking consumers with tiny incremental updates
if the game use all of the 6800k you don't have problems, butt someone games use 2 cores... wtf.
that's the issue. It's about the optimisation. I wouldn't worry in GTA V or BF games, but in most games only 1-2 cores are used, which is annoying for people like me.
Subi_fan to them that statement is true because they only think about 60FPS. Bottlenecking is clearly happening but you have to hit 140+ FPS to see it happen.
Richard I missed you, I'm glad you're back.
When ryzen released digitalfoundry was the first place I checked for a review, same for the 1080ti you guys just cant be beat, so keep it up!
I'm fine with my 1060 6go to play 1080p.
1060 to play high settings 1080P... 1070 ultra 1080P... 1080 good for 4K 30fps
actually with GTX 1060 you can have full 1080p ultra setting with all anti aliasing enable and you still get 60fps.
My 1060 oc'd with a 8350 does incredibly well on ultra settings in pretty much every game. the only game out there is dues ex that i just cant max out.
that's because the games was specified made for polaris LOL.
Alucard8319
Wrong.
GTX 1060: Ultra, 1080p and 60 FPS
1070: Ultra, 2K, 60 FPS
1080: High, 4K, 60 FPS
come on generation, don't make 1080p the new 720p. T_T(cries in corner with a potato PC)
There's nothing wrong with 1080p lol... To get 4K 60fps ultra you need more than one GPU anyway for most AAA games
dude... go for 21:9 (2560x1080) it's amazing and not much more taxing than 16:9.
Neurotyczny Kot 3440x1440 is even better.
Well it kind of is. 720p, no matter the AA, it was impossible to get a clean image. 1080p still needs AA badly but it is possible to get a clean image. 4k gets the cleanest image by far, and no AA needed.
4k is the new standard.
My Potato PC can't handle it either though lol at least not at 60 fps, and definitely not most games.
I did test Battlefront on Ultra 4k and shit my pants. Surprisingly around 45 fps too. Then I tried Crysis 3 on very high settings at 4k and really shit my pants. Barely 30 fps though
I can't even game at 720p without dropping frames. My potato PC is better at being a potato.
love to see Richards back the King of DigitalFoundary, Tom is still Ace as well though;-))
your reviews are awe sum and so detailed love it! but i suggest u change ur games for benchmark! running abit obsolete on some game
is it good for 2K 144hz
of course
Lehner82
2K is 1440p, not 1080p...
Wrong.
*2K is NOT 1440p*
2K = 2048 x whatever | or with some rounding people refer to 1920x1080 as 2K
1440p is 2560x1440 which would be closer to "2.5K" I.. suppose...
Tristan Zipp
By that logic it should be called 2.5K.
I just saw so many people calling 1440p "2K" that I thought it was common use, even tho it wasn't exactly correct.
Nevermind, thanks for clarifying.
you can have a native 1440p@59.95Hz
or 4Kx2k 2560x1440p .
i guess it is downscaled from 4K.
one is PC resolution, the other a HDMI i guess.
tfw bought a 1080 three months ago
just kill me already
Lonk Vega can't be released soon enough, NVIDIA needs competition
I'll provide you the noose rope. I was waiting ti model already 3 months ago. Bit common sense goes long way.
سلیمان ذوالفقار Exactly
Nice to see you guys reviewing PC hardware.
I might get one around christmas or just wait for the next line to upgrade my 980ti. Such a beast though.
Wichard
RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MISSED YOU MAN!
I've been waiting for this so hard
Great video! Now, onto 1080 ti SLI on 4k HDR (Mass Effect Andromeda)?
Join the pc master race PS4 gamers, you know you like nice graphics
nazart I have both PS4 & PC. Best of both worlds 😊
ewww no i want devs to care about me
JOJO SS Then you should only play indie games.
nazart i made the switch. what games should i get? I've bought most recent titles up til For Honor already on my pro. So far I have The Forest, Super Hot, L4D2, Witcher2 (games are extremely cheaper on PC thats for sure) i got all these for a total of like 20$. What games should i buy that aren't in Early Access?
lzhlzh huh?
Does the nintendo switch have 4k mode? can i change switch graphics cards with 4k?
Trash .Boat lol
can i change switch graphics cards with 4k?
What does that even mean?
TheKims you can tape a 1080 ti on the dock to play at 4k 60 fps on switch, stop spreading misinformation
Trash .Boat yes.
Yes. Being very careful use a Nintendo brand hammer (Check Amazon) to open the Switch and clip card onto connectors. Plug in and download new BIOS via WIFI.
Very well done video!
I have been very pleased with my 1080ti. Mine boosts to 1870Mhz out of the box with power threshold set to 120%. Been killing wildlands at 1440p
Nice to hear that the i7 6700k is a bottelneck for the 1080 Ti. I think in the future the Ryzen cpus are going to be better in gaming.
Have you seen Ryzen gaming performance? It's even worse. Btw, why are you wishing bad things to happen? Can never understand such blind fanboys as you...
Fobus In the dark he means more cores is the way to go for the future of gaming
@gabriel salazar got it. A 4 core is already at its limit where a 8 core is not when you game.
Oh, thanks, that could be the meaning of his comment. Still think mentioning Ryzen is out of place though, since Intel has many CPUs with more than 4 cores. Ryzen only brings price improvements (and a big potential for more competition technology wise, though that's not yet a guarantee, as i think chip makers are fundamentally against physics wall.)
WhiteSnowGentelman any CPU is going to bottleneck this card at 1080p. There's simply too many frames to push at once. The 6700K won't bottleneck it at 4K or 1440p 144hz.
pass i'll wait for constant 4k 60fps on the most demanding games with out dips thanks
Exactly and why waste that much money on a card that will be outperformed by the new cards which Nvidia will release in a little year! Nuff said
xDeedles nice ruski meme bro
Alucard8319 Why buy anything tech when something better is _always_ around the corner?
Amazing, 4k at 60fps is sweet and now there's a definitive go-to card for it. I already have a 1080, but perhaps SLI will become viable now that the successor entered the scene.
Hi Thanks for the review. In this video you mentioned that an i7 6700k experienced a bottleneck with the 1080ti on 1080p resolution gaming. What did you experience and does it effect game play? is the 1080ti too powerful for 1080p ultra settings gaming? Thanks again
Great PC focused content DF. Ignore the angry PS4 "gamers".
wait for it!..
2/10
+Possessed Gamer I hacked his account.
all I'm seeing is angry PC gamers like you constantly bringing up console gamers. I haven't seen a single console gamer talking shit on here yet.
You need to fuckin grow up man. If you really were a gamer you'd own a PC and a console, but instead you just talk shit about console because it makes you feel better about not owning one.
Hey, you're the fake Prince Dizzy!
PS4 owners are disliking the video. smh
Nagger Gaming Ps4 owners are busy playing Gravity Rush 2,Yakuza 0,Ni-oh and Horizon. Only xbox owners have time for crap like that...
yes. all 40 of them
I'm not. I love it.
Not all of us only own one gaming device and are butthurt about the people who own the others
Travis Law Funnily enough I only see xbox fanboys crying everywhere about pc is crap and useless. Oh yeah and pc is worthless and power doesnt matter. Dont try to sugarcoat it...
A lot of PS4 owners also have a PC, they just don't need an Xbox
Console gamer here looking to build his first gaming PC, any tips and suggestions are welcome on how to start and sources to use. Thanks! (Budget not an issue, but I'm interested in most bang for the buck.)
Subscribed! Fantastic review!
look another ps4 pro vi...oh
It's about time this channel got back to business.
I guess we should wait for a better CPU from Intel now :p
ryzen
Ryzen 7 is awesome for its purpose of editing and processing videos. Ryzen 5 for gaming
Coming later this month or early next
sure wud luv sum 4k goodness from u guys!
8:48
The upside to that is that the card is never working at 100% which should help keep noise, fans and temperatures all the way down.
Yet no developers get use of this like sony's devs do with ps4 hardware. For example, Horizon, un4 etc
Easier to optimise for console, we've all heard it before, but despite the inferior optimisation, this will still outperform a console by a monumental margin
dude, different hardware for different audiences
Soevilly ever thought why they use dynamic resolution and are locked at 30
With poor textures filtering
And often drop frames
Soevilly it's still gonna outperform consoles.
@rohit none of Sony's dev's use dynamic resolution, or frame drops and certainly not Horizon or Uncharted 4. Nice job showing your ignorance dumbass
Still no info on ryzen bencharks? :(
Finally! PC Coverage! I almost thought DF was only going to do console coverage from now on.
Another great review. However, I am holding fire for Vegan10. It will go nicely with my 1800X rig.
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING RYZEN'S BENCHMARKS
hey geoff
watch end of video
He said at the end they're coming.
Linus has a comparison against intel that uses the 1080ti.
Ryzen have modern i5 performance in games (yes, i5. not i7). Nothing to show here.
Console kids don't like this
wasn't there another hell walker or was that hell fire
hell walker 4k upscaled
IronmanToday 2 not true.
+hell walker Yeah some indie games.
and how many PC virgins can afford it?
Looking forward to your ryzen review. There's something about Richards review shows serious integrity.
WHAT IS THE MUSIC!? I LOVE IT!!!
Let me just sell my 5 PS4 Pros so I can get a gaming PC with a 1080ti. Can't wait to boast about numbers rather than actually playing games.
No need, RX 470 beats PS4 Pro
Tommy G I have over 400 games on Steam. How many do you have on ps4 pro?
Because 144hz ultra witcher 3 feel so good that's why PC gamers always talk about numbers. Honestly though the fact that you have 5 ps4 pros and are basically bragging about it is fucking stupid.
FoGIrony I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
5×400= 2,000
I think with selling 4 ps4 pros is enough
Can you do a comparison between every Titan GPU and the past iterations of x70 and x80 tier cards of the past few generations?
May i suggest turning anti aliasing off? 4k has a extremely high pixel count compared to the smaller compressed resolutions. I would love to see what number it gets with anti aliasing turned off. Though this card must be a absolute monster to run without the help of a second card in SLI, on some forms of anti aliasing in these demanding titles!
Hooray he's back. Thought something happened to ya Richard.
I own a MSI gtx 1080, should I upgrade to: another 1080(SLI) or should I buy a 1080 ti? Any recommendations?
6:02 Please keep this notification like Current FPS - Average FPS in newer videos because we want to know
Welcome back Richard!
i wil be so happy to see if you benchmark this card with ryzen 1800x vs i7 7700k on 4K resolution..
Can this card deliver a smooth/locked 60fps @ 4k or 1440p on Forza Horizon? Or is that game just fundamentally broken when it comes to smooth 60fps?
Are those Rx 480 scores from it's launch period.
I believe it was confirmed that was now at level with the 1060 in DX11 games (while leading in new titles)
May I suggest an improved way of editing videos for the future. When going into frame rate analysis for each game, can we just focus on the gaming footage rather than flicking back and forth to the office. That way I can digest the stats rather than pausing the video and going back. Thanks.
Im building a Gaming PC. IDK what processor i7 7700k or i7 6850k.
Im looking to put in the GTX 1080ti.
Idk if i should play on 4k or 1440p?
Is it smooth to play on 4k even comp?
Is it a waste of the 1080ti if a play on 1440p?
Now Richard please do a Ryzen review with across resolutions using the gtx 1080ti. Just want to see the frame times/rates. Please do it
thanks
When is the Price going to actually change on GeForce website for there cards? the 1070 is still saying 399.99. and same with the 1060. also when will we be able to buy the 1070 with the 11gbs ddr5xmemory and the 1060 with 9gbs ddr5 memory? thanks!!
@Digital Foundry I didn't really catch the part when you talk about how actually for 1080 Ti 1080p gaming can be more demanding. Can you please elaborate more?
+DigitalFoundry It is pretty hard to get above 4.6 ghz would a second cpu open that bottleneck or is it just ghz that is restricting its performance?
I read that there is an issue between Pascal and GSync. I bought a GTX1080 and there was a noticeable amount of stutter and I read that 1080ti owners have this problem too. It would be very interesting if Digital Foundry would do an investigation like Kepler vs Pascal on GSync
@9:00 mark, Is there a method or calculation for finding out if my GPU is out performing my cpu, and that i should increase the resolution?
Great, now we can see his majestic hand gestures again!
welcome back Richard!
