Just my Theory , GTX 1080 Ti will get 10GB 320Bit GDDR5X, here is how.

  • Hey all 8)

    After I have been looking at GTX TITAN X Pascal PCB's like this one:

    As you see TITAN X Pascal has 12 ram chips, to make 12GB 384 Bit Ram it has 12x 1GB 32Bit :)
    12x 1GB 32Bit = 12GB 384Bit, right?

    After reading this artcile:
    http://wccftech.com/gtx-1080-ti-coming-pax-east-nvidia-aib/

    And this part mainly:
    "The shipping manifest shows the memory at 10240 MB, which is a solid 10 GB worth of VRAM. The memory bus is shown as a 384-bit part, although it remains to be seen whether the full configuration will be active"

    If a GTX 1080 Ti has 10GB GDDR5X, it can never be 384Bit, because 10240MB divided by 384Bit is 26.6666666667 Bit and that would never work, and then referring to whether if a full configuration will be active, personally I think it won't, because mathematically it can't.

    So I looked at them Titan XP Pics, and if I would subtract 2x 1GB 32Bit I would get 10x 1GB 32 Bit to equal 10240MB 320Bit GDDR5X so this is how I think that GTX 1080 Ti will have 10GB 320Bit GDDR5X and never 10GB 384Bit GDDR5X, since mathematically that doesn't add up and not make any sense as all the rumors do show.

    Feel free to add your thoughts on this subject as well :thumbup:

  • Since the specs are "expected" and not confirmed and proof I guess we will wait to see the final card and specs which will say 320-bit. In the beginning of November 2016 this topic was discussed. 384-bit wasn't plausible and all expected it will have 320-bit.

    Yeah would make most sense :)
