The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is powered by Pascal, giving it the ability to deliver thrice the performance of previous-generation graphics cards. The new card sports a design that is aimed to perform "as cool as it looks," thanks to the heat dissipation vapor chamber cooling technology and premium materials.
The GTX 1080 is equipped with an 8GB GDDR5X memory, and it has the ability to overclock up to 1.4 x the actual clock speed of 1.7 GHz, or up to 2.5 GHz. The card supports a maximum resolution of up to 7680 x 4320 pixels at a 60 Hz refresh rate.
Physically, the GTX 1080 measures 4.3 inches in height, 10.5 inches in length, and two slots wide.
While all of these mentioned new capabilities and features may pique the interest of users and enthusiasts, it is also worth noting that competition will come in early as AMD is expected to release its own next-gen graphics card, the Polaris, sometime around June.
