Additional data
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is manufactured in a structure width of 16 nm and has a PCIe 3.0 x 16 lanes interface. The graphics card was released in Q2/2016.
3DMark is a benchmark program that determines the performance of certain components of a computer and then reports the performance as a numerical value.
The theoretical computing power of the graphics card with single precision (32 bit) in TFLOPS indicates how many trillion FP32 floating point operations the graphics card (GPU) can perform per second.
In order to determine the performance of a graphics card, so-called "benchmarks" are carried out. The benchmark software carries out special calculations to determine the performance of a graphics card. We use so-called theoretical or synthetic benchmarks (e.g. 3D Mark) as well as real game benchmarks. To ensure real comparability of the results, we pay attention to the correct execution of the benchmarks as well as the condition of the graphics card and the system.
We use the following benchmarks to measure the performance of a graphics card:
