Technical Specifications

The important number whenever you're looking at modern graphics cards is the number of cores available, shaders on AMD cards and CUDA cores on nVidia options. The GTX 1080 Ti has 3584 CUDA Cores, the GTX 1080 had 2560 and the GTX 1070 predecessor to this Ti variant had 1920 CUDA cores available to it. So the 2432 CUDA Cores on the GTX 1070 Ti puts it very much in the GTX 1080 ballpark. Judging from the ASUS certified performance numbers it looks like the frames per second will be just a shade below the 1080 too, which is good news for those of you who've been saving up.
