As the head of Nvidia, Huang Renxun also has a classic product that he particularly prefers among the massive graphics card product lines that are iterating at a fast pace. At a recent offline event, Huang Renxun was invited to sign the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, an old card owned by a veteran player. When he put pen to paper, he expressed his true thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for many years.
The moment he saw this graphics card, he showed an expression of genuine surprise and exclaimed on the spot, "This is one of my favorite products. It has completely changed the direction of the entire graphics card industry."
This statement can be said to be the most likely to resonate with the collective resonance of veteran players across the Internet among all Huang Renxun's public statements in recent years.
Not only did the performance of the GTX 1080 Ti surpass all competing products in the same period when it was released, but what is even more rare is that it has an extremely long life cycle. It has maintained extremely high cost performance and gaming performance competitiveness for several years after its release. It is still regarded by countless old players as an irreplaceable generation of god cards in the history of Nvidia's development.
NVIDIA first officially launched the flagship GeForce GTX 1080 on May 27, 2016. It is the industry's first consumer-grade gaming graphics card based on Pascal architecture, with 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB as standard. GDDR5X video memory, 256-bit video memory width, the power consumption of the whole board of the public version is controlled at 180W, and the non-public version models open to the market are priced starting from US$599, which directly opened the performance curtain of the new generation of game graphics cards that year.
