The EVGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics card from NVIDIA is built on the Pascal architecture and was officially introduced on 27.05.2016. Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, engineers managed to place 7.2 billion transistorsistors transistors on a 314 mm² die. The model's computational arsenal includes 2560 universal processors. Also available are 0 specialized cores for ray rendering and 0 cores for accelerating artificial intelligence. The memory subsystem features GDDR5X modules with a total capacity of 8 GB. The bus width is 256 bit bits, and the peak data exchange rate is 320.30 GB/s. The graphics chip operates at a base clock of 1607 MHz with dynamic acceleration capability up to 1733 MHz. The nominal thermal design power is 180 W. For stable system operation, a PSU of 450 W or more will be required.
