Jen-Hsun Huang: GTX 1080Ti is one of my favorite graphics cards and it has changed the direction of the industry

[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated at an offline event that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is one of his “favorite products” and said that this graphics card “completely changed the direction of the entire graphics card industry.” This statement appeared when he signed an autograph for an old GTX 1080 Ti owned by a player, and it quickly aroused renewed attention from the outside world to this classic product.

Judging from the scene, Huang Renxun showed obvious surprise after seeing this graphics card, and made the above comments when signing. For many old players, GTX 1080 Ti has always been regarded as one of the representative models in Nvidia's product line. The reason is not only the outstanding performance in the early stage of release, but also the long product life cycle. For many years after its release, this graphics card has still maintained strong gaming performance and high usage value, so it has maintained a high reputation among gamers.

From the perspective of product evolution, Nvidia officially launched GeForce GTX 1080 as early as May 27, 2016. This product is positioned as a flagship and is the industry's first consumer-grade gaming graphics card based on Pascal architecture. In terms of parameters, GTX 1080 is equipped with 2560 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR5X video memory and 256-bit video memory width. The power consumption of the whole board of the public version is 180W. The non-public version model sold to the market starts at US$599. With its new architecture and performance improvements, GTX 1080 kicked off the competition for a new generation of gaming graphics cards that year.

On this basis, GTX 1080 Ti later further strengthened the market influence of high-end gaming graphics cards. Nowadays, although graphics card products have gone through many rounds of updates, Huang Renxun's public mention of the GTX 1080 Ti still brings this product into the public eye again, and also reflects its special position in the history of NVIDIA products.
