In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 Ti 2GB.
The GTX 1080 Ti has a 430 MHz higher core clock speed and 128 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 960 Ti. This results in the GTX 1080 Ti providing 230.7 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1080 Ti has a 430 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Render Output Units than the GTX 960 Ti. This results in the GTX 1080 Ti providing 63 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1080 Ti was released over a year more recently than the GTX 960 Ti, and so the GTX 1080 Ti is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 960 Ti.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 9216 MB more video memory than the GTX 960 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 1080 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 260 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 960 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is massively better than the GTX 960 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB has 3584 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 960 Ti 2GB has 1536. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is 7654 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 960 Ti is 1809. The GTX 1080 Ti having 5845 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1080 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 960 Ti.
The GTX 1080 Ti transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 960 Ti. This means that the GTX 1080 Ti is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 960 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 960 Ti 2GB requires 140 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 1080 Ti and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the GTX 960 Ti. The GTX 1080 Ti requires 80 Watts more than the GTX 960 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1080 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 960 Ti.

Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 220W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with available 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors. Performance The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB performance is capable of 2017 AAA gaming at high graphics settings across all games. This GPU will deliver strong frame rates at 4K on any game at high graphics levels. System Suggestions GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160 (4K). We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview GeForce GTX 960 Ti 2GB is an upcoming high-end Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Maxwell architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Maxwell Architecture succeeds the Kepler Architecture. Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed GM204-200-KD which has 12 SM activated and thus offers 1536 Shader Processing Units, 96 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at ????MHz and goes up to ????MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1753MHz. Features DirectX 12.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for SLI, GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 140W, it requires at least a 450W PSU with one available 6-pin connector. Performance Coming Soon! System Suggestions We recommend a very strong processor (Intel Core i5 Quad Core/AMD FX Eight Core) and 8GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GTX 960 Ti 2GB. | |||
