NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB
Overview
The GeForce GTX 1080 is the card that defined the Pascal generation, and it is in this database as the mainstream reference point below the GTX 1080 Ti: 2,560 CUDA cores across 20 SMs at a 1,733 MHz boost for 8.87 TFLOPS FP32, with 8 GB of GDDR5X, the first memory of its kind to ship, running at 10 Gbps on a 256-bit bus for 320 GB/s, all inside 180 W. Against a modern accelerator the arithmetic is not the interesting number; the absence is. There are no Tensor Cores here, no structured sparsity, and no usable half-precision path at all, which is why NVIDIA published a single-precision figure for this card and nothing else. Anything that runs in FP16 or INT8 on a later card runs in FP32 here, at 8.87 TFLOPS, and the 8 GB frame buffer decides what fits before the throughput ever does.

Every figure here is dense. The vendor documents no structured (2:4) sparsity mode for this part, so there is no second number to quote.
Dense peak divided by accelerator TDP. Board power only: excludes host CPUs, networking, cooling and facility overhead. TDP for this part: 180 W.
