On May 6, Nvidia announced its newest GPU versions, i.e., GTX 1070 and 1080, which will bring exciting new features on the table, putting pressure on competitors like AMD. Here's a short preview of what users can expect before the launch.

Nvidia, has been trying to take full advantage of the rapidly developing PC gaming market, with GeForce GTX 1080, the latest version of GPU. Notably, this is the first consumer card, which is being built on Nvidia's Pascal architecture, and it claims to be faster than Titan X, according to Engadget.

The 16nm FinFET process, which is built on the Pascal architecture allows Nvidia to cram more transistors, (approximately 2 billion more), in a smaller space, using less power. Additionally, with Micron's new GDDR5X video memory, GeForce GTX 1080 has 43% more memory bandwidth than its former version, i.e. GTX 980.

The GTX 1080 reportedly has a base clock rate of 1607 MHz, but reaches a maximum of 1733 MHz when boosted. Thus, combined with enhanced memory compression and faster memory, Nvidia's latest graphics card is definitely the king of all.

It absolutely decimates its predecessor, blows right by the Titan X, and consistently topples AMD's Radeon Fury X, reported Forbes.

Fortunately Nvidia devoted a lot of resources to improving the efficiency and optimizing with Maxwell, and definitely goes beyond the promised scale. The first sign of this is the fact that GTX 1080 requires a single 8 - pin PCIe Connector only, and boasts of a TDP of 180 Watts.

Adding to it was the elaborate heat sink design, which caused the heat to escape making the system cool enough to handle.

Getting the GTX 1080 graphics card up and running is not tougher than setting up a typical video card. It has a big piece of kit, so users would like make sure that there's ample place in the case.

Thus, it would be indeed a great choice for gamers who have enough cash and are looking for the best video card on the market, and can be considered as a dramatic leap in the GPU domain.
