GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce GTX TITAN X comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1080 beats the GeForce GTX TITAN X in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1080 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 has a slightly lower TDP at 180 W when compared to the GeForce GTX TITAN X at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1080 is better than the GeForce GTX TITAN X.
