Earning its place as the Graphics Card of the Year award given by 2016 Trusted Reviews Awards ceremony, NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce GTX 1080 has amassed good reviews from online gamers and technology bloggers dubbing it as the most advanced gaming graphics card ever created and by far the most powerful consumer card in the market. Its fantastic performance and revolutionary design is said to be credited on the company's spending billions on getting this new architecture to market.

Its performance, power efficiency, and gaming experiences is driven by the new NVIDIA Pascal architecture that delivers up to 3x the performance of previous-generation graphics cards, plus innovative new gaming technologies and breaking VR experiences. The new GeForce GTX 1080 is also meticulously crafted to offer superior heat dissipation using vapor chamber cooling technology and premium materials, so it runs as cool as it looks, GeForce revealed.

Key features of the GeForce GTX 1080 that made it stand out from any graphics card is that it has an 8GB GDDR5X memory, 2560 CUDA cores, 1607 MHz base clock speed, 320GB/s memory bandwith. The new Pascal architecture uses a smaller manufacturing process with greater number of transistors on any given piece of silicon and in so doing, it increases performance and dissipates heat and noise in the process, Trusted Reviews disclosed.

GeForce GTX 1080 memory speed is also remarkable with 10Gbps compared with other GeForce GTX G10 Series like GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GeForce GTX 1060 with only 8Gbps, GeForce reported.

Tech bloggers also see GeForce GTX 1080 a future proof graphics card which has a single DVI port, an HDMI port and three DisplayPort connectors, Trusted Reviews claimed that whatever the final specification of DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 are, the GTX 1080 is ready. Its HDMI connector is version 2.0b, which can produce content in 4K at 60 Hz.
