11GB GDDR5X Pascal GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition is a Pascal-architecture graphics card with 11GB of GDDR5X memory on a 352-bit interface. It connects via PCI Express 3.0 x16 and delivers 3584 CUDA cores with a 1480 MHz base clock and 1582 MHz boost clock. The effective memory clock reaches 11010 MHz for high bandwidth.
4K and VR gaming focus
This card suits enthusiasts targeting 4K resolution or virtual reality with DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support. It offers 2-way SLI for multi-GPU scaling and HDCP 2.2 compliance for protected content. Users needing newer ray-tracing hardware or AV1 encode should consider a different architecture.
11GB frame buffer headroom
The 11GB frame buffer handles 7680 x 4320 output across one HDMI 2.0 and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. It comfortably drives high-refresh 1440p and many 4K titles with headroom for texture packs. Memory capacity becomes the limiting factor in heavily modded 4K workloads or future titles requiring larger VRAM pools.

Questions about this item
What power connectors does the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition require from my PSU?
The card draws power through its 7-phase dualFET supply; ensure your PSU has the necessary 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe cables for the Founders Edition board.
Will the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition run in a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot on my older motherboard?
Yes, the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to the older generation speed.
How can I verify the 3584 CUDA cores and 11 GB GDDR5X are active after installing the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition?
Open NVIDIA Control Panel or GPU-Z; the specification page will list 3584 CUDA cores, 11 GB memory and a 352-bit GDDR5X interface running at 11010 MHz effective clock.
