GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Gaming Benchmarks & Specs

9 games at 1440p, 52 FPS on average, anchored estimate · 1440p at reduced settings, or comfortable 1080p gaming

52 Avg FPS Includes estimates

Treat these as estimates. They are interpolated from our own measured results on comparable silicon, and they carry the estimate label until this card is benched. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti averages 52 FPS. The ceiling is Counter-Strike 2 at 90 FPS; the floor is Alan Wake 2 at 17 FPS, a 5.3x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means 1440p at reduced settings, or comfortable 1080p gaming. Under load we logged a peak of 240W against the 250W rating.

The silicon

Transistors11,800 million
Die size471 mm²
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density25.1 million per mm²

Denser than 37% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
