On June 4, 2026, at an offline event, NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, autographed a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card belonging to a seasoned gamer. He confessed that this graphics card was among his favorite products, asserting that it had brought a revolutionary change to the graphics card industry. Since its launch in 2016, the GTX 1080 Ti has earned legendary status in the eyes of countless gamers, thanks to its outstanding performance and remarkable durability. Built on the Pascal architecture, it boasts 2560 CUDA cores, 8GB of GDDR5X memory, and a 256-bit memory bus.
