Reference GeForce GTX 1080 Ti PCB Compared with TITAN X Pascal

[R-T-B]

Let's ask..

Who has TRULY needed an analog signal from their 290/780 or faster cards recent years, hands up!

It's removal still provides no tangible benefit. How does it qualify as a "pro?"

Since letting go of the ancient analog connectivity is a step forward.

But I guess that's just my opinion.

Loving the removal of the DVI connector... it's about time. Better airflow.

If you need DVI use a HDMI to DVI adapter on your monitor.

Some of these cheap knockoff Korean 2560x1440 monitors only came with DVI... plenty of use for it still... but, as was said, nothing a connector can't overcome.

And it will give you 1080p@60Hz. If not buying expensive usb powered adapter that is the resolution you can have.

I would not worry though, there will be plenty of 3rd party gtx1080tis with dvi connector. And if I have to guess it will be the norm rather than oddity.

That's dp to dvi though...

But nevertheless I wonder if the adapter which comes with reference gtx1080ti is similar to that(Seems to be dropped on price last time I checked that monoprice).

I'm against of removing DVI, but I guess everyone has their own taste of needed connectors.

But I can't understand why from Radeon 290 series removing VGA signal was a con instead of a pro in the conclusion.

Me too: Im sitting on a 144 hz 1080p monitor (XL2411T), but it has no MDP and only DVI-D. So i would need to buy converters. Removing it will annoy everyone with a 100hz+ monitor within the first interations.

Silly question, would it possible to modify a 1080Ti and turn it into a Titan X (pascal) by just adding the missing RAM chip to the board and then modifying the BIOS where the converted Titan X could overclock better than a normal Titan X through the additional Mosfets and other additional circuitry components from the 1080Ti?

Just a simple observation I made looking at the two boards and surprised how the Titan X seems to have a lot less circuitry than the 1080Ti which will be the cheaper (too much marketing from NVIDIA I seem to see here).
Other note is that the board layout seems to be either very similar or the same where the Titan X shows areas of missing circuitry which is present on the 1080Ti.

I get that modifying a graphics card as described is not likely to be very simple (could be wrong).

Edit: Added another point.

The big news would be some 1080ti cards includes Founders Edition have 12 memory modules as far as I see. But I don't know how many those cards exist in current production orders. Some one told me AIC's custom-design cards most likely have all unabridged 12 memory modules. But only 11 memory modules count in working. It is unknown the usage of the remaining memory module.

I dont think people doubt that you can get a converter; but the problem being that it is an extra expense (mentally more expensive than the actual price of 10 dollars.) When you already overextending and buying a 1080Ti (as many wallets will feel like) the 10 dollars (or 30 dollars in EU! ), will have the users reflect upon their purcase; something that is not a good thing when talking about 800 dollar GFXes!

I think the main problem is that many people still think that these Active adapters are still in the $100 realm. Thankfully they're not, and Monoprice has one that appears to do the job.
