NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Specifications Leaked

I'm usually not one to fan the flames of speculation but if NVIDIA is planning to have 1080 Ti ready and launched by the holiday season then why not push and make it true.

As we all know the new 10 Series has been extremely popular since it was launched earlier this year.  So much in fact that it is difficult to keep product on the shelves and mfgs are having an even harder time getting product to market.  Adding another, more powerful GPU to the mix will only compound the problem unless they take the Titan X approach and make the GTX 1080 Ti an NVIDIA exclusive.

NVIDIA is giving finishing touches to its next enthusiast-segment graphics card based on the "Pascal" architecture, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Its specifications were allegedly screengrabbed by a keen-eyed enthusiast snooping around NVIDIA website, before being redacted. The specs-sheet reveals that the GTX 1080 Ti is based on the same GP102 silicon as the TITAN X Pascal, but is further cut-down from it. Given that the GTX 1080 is unflinching from its $599-$699 price-point, with some custom-design cards even being sold at over $800, the GTX 1080 Ti could either be positioned around the $850-mark, or be priced lower, disrupting currently overpriced custom GTX 1080 offerings. By pricing the TITAN X Pascal at $1200, NVIDIA appears to have given itself headroom to price the GTX 1080 Ti in a way that doesn't cannibalize premium GTX 1080 offerings.

Of course leaks being leaks this could be just something made up to increase traffic.  Either way the specs listed are extremely realistic though I still question the launch date.  Typically NVIDIA launches product in the spring making a holiday release a little aggressive.
