NVIDIA ASUS G-FORCE GTX 1080 8 GB GDDR5X 256 bit

Key Specifications:

Real-World Performance:

What you can expect from the GTX 1080 (8 GB) in today’s usage:

• Excellent for 1080p gaming with high to ultra settings in most modern AAA titles. Great frame rates especially in less GPU-demanding titles.

• 1440p gaming is very doable: many games will run well at high settings; ultra settings in very demanding games may require compromises.

• For 4K gaming, it’s borderline: with lowered settings, or if the game is well optimized, or using upscaling / performance boosting, it can work — but you won’t get ultra at high frame rates in many new titles.

• Good for VR, thanks to its relatively high performance and capable feature set.

• Strong for creative workloads, video editing, etc., especially if the rest of the system isn’t a huge bottleneck.

Strengths:

• Still a very strong card for its generation; offers performance well above many newer entry- or mid-range cards, especially in rasterization.

• Good build & feature sets in ASUS variants (Strix, Turbo, etc.), with quality cooling, etc.

• 8 GB VRAM gives some headroom, better than lots of older cards with lower VRAM.

• Generally efficient for its performance (Pascal is relatively good on power per GPU performance, though not as efficient as newer architectures).
