NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080M - Flagship Pascal Mobile GPU With 2048 CUDA Cores, 8 GB G5 VRAM

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080M is already shipping to several OEMs and one such visitor decided to post a few leaks. The GeForce GTX 1080M is going to replace the GeForce GTX 980 (mobility) graphics card and while both chips would look very similar in terms of specifications, the Pascal variant will be performance leap every bit the menu does feature better core functioning and pumped upwards clock speeds while featuring insane efficiency specs.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080M and GeForce GTX 980 (Mobility) Specs Comparison

For starters, the GeForce GTX 1080M features 2048 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GeForce GTX 980 likewise features 2048 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GeForce GTX 1080M would feature eight GB of GDDR5 memory and judge what, the GeForce GTX 980 likewise features viii GB of GDDR5 memory. The divergence lies within the internal architectural differences that evangelize better per core performance and faster clocks.

The GTX 1080 M features clock speeds of 1442 MHz base and 1645 MHz boost clocks while the GTX 980M features core clock of 1064 MHz base and 1228 MHz boost. The retentivity on the GeForce GTX 1080M also clocked to 8 GB/s which delivers 256 GB/southward bandwidth compared to just 224 GB/s on the GTX 980M with its 7 GB/s memory.

The GeForce GTX 1080M could feature a TDP around 150W which was same for the GeForce GTX 980M. The card volition be further tuned to deliver better battery times on high-finish laptops only its meliorate to use such device plugged in to a socket while gaming. This leads us to the performance numbers of the GeForce GTX 1080M.

NVIDIA GeForce 1080M vs GeForce GTX 980 (Mobility) Graphics Performance

The same source posted a 3DMark Firestrike score of the GeForce GTX 1080M which scored 16893 points in the constructed criterion. The GeForce GTX 980 (mobility) in comparison scores 13125 points in the aforementioned synthetic bench. A reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti in comparison scores 16905 points which shows that this card is only equally fast as the previous generation flagship graphics menu from NVIDIA. Following is a the 3DMark Firestrike graphics score for various high-end graphics cards courtesy of PCPerspective:

While we take some information at paw regarding NVIDIA'southward upcoming GPU launches for the mobility sector, we still don't have a confirmed launch time frame for these cards. The GeForce GTX 1080M was tested inside laptop that looks finalized and is a bulky pattern in general. Merely a few days ago, we covered a loftier-end laptop list which featured the GeForce GTX 1080M discrete graphics chip, find out more on that here.
