The mighty GTX 1080 Ti is expected to be the cut-down version of Titan X but it will be capable of playing 4K games. Rumor has it that the card will rock hefty 3,328 CUDA cores with 1503 MHz base clock and 1,623 MHz boost clock, HNGN reported.

If rumors are to be believed, then it will be clocked higher than Titan X. It makes sense if it will have closer performance to Titan X than expected, as the latter is able to nail most of the 4K gaming (@60fps). Another report suggests that the GTX 1080 Ti will potentially have 12GB GDDR5.
