In our standardised 1080p benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1080 monsters through every game thrown at it - it’s more than overkill if you’re looking for consistent 1080p performance above 60 frames per second. And you can tell that’s true purely through the card’s physical design - it uses a single 8-pin power connector and is rated for 180 Watts of energy usage, where previous models were in the 250 Watt range and used a combo of paired 8- and 6-pin or 8- and 8-pin cables. The chipmaker says it trounces all three of these cards in outright gaming performance, but at the same time it does so while consuming less power. The GTX 1080 is significantly more efficient than the GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X that it inherits Nvidia’s gaming performance crown from. The GeForce GTX 1080 is - for now - the flagship card in the line, with a slightly less powerful GTX 1070 also being released a couple of weeks after the 1080. Pascal is the first 16-nanometre graphics card architecture out there, and that represents a significant leap forward in the efficiency of turning electricity into 1s and 0s versus the older 28-nanometre process used in Nvidia’s Kepler and Maxwell cards - you might know them better as the GeForce GTX 6xx, 7xx and 9xx series. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 is the first graphics card released by Big Green on its brand new Pascal microarchitecture.
