Jensen Huang calls the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 'one of my favourites'

At Computex in Taiwan Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was working the crowd and signing autographs when someone handed him an original GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition to sign. He responded, "Oh, one of my favourites," and added, "Oh, my god. This is one of the best.

This changed everything." A brief clip of the interaction was shared by MilGrauNews on X, showing the moment someone (apparently the OP's girlfriend) presented the card for an autograph. The reaction reflects the 1080 Ti's place in Nvidia's history. After Pascal arrived in May 2016 and the Titan X Pascal followed with a cut-down GP102 GPU sporting 3,584 shaders and 12 GB of GDDR5X at $1,199, Nvidia released the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in March 2017 with the same shader count and one gigabyte less GDDR5X for $699.

Because it used faster VRAM it delivered more memory bandwidth, effectively offering equal or slightly greater capability for 42% less money.
