Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti And Club GeForce Elite Subscription Program Revealed On LinkedIn [Video]
A recent job listing posted by Nvidia on LinkedIn reveals the GTX 1080 Ti and the Club GeForce Elite service, which is the upcoming premium subscription program.
Most Nvidia job postings end with the phrase "We are an AA/EEO/Veterans/Disabled employer." But the job post on LinkedIn says Nvidia is currently looking for a qualified applicant to fill the role of Senior Marketing Manager of GeForce Gamer Loyalty and Advocacy.
This news is notable because it clearly lists an unannounced GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. Also, the customers who own the 980 Ti or receive a Step Up offer will get the first spots in line to pre-order the upcoming GTX 1080 Ti before its shipping date. The job listing also reveals what Nvidia calls as the Club GeForce Elite, premium subscription.
The mention of the GTX 1080 Ti card is located in the "Targeted Spot Prizes To Drive Sentiment, Reward Behavior, and Grow Advocates" section. It comes under the GeForce Experience umbrella.
The job description says that, "I think of GFE Rewards as more than giveaways and it's a club with exclusive benefits for GFE users." It further adds, "Through the Club we can help improve our customer's gaming experience and build a GeForce/GFE community."
The listing also says that "Club GeForce" will provide three classes of rewards for GeForce Experience users. Participants in this club will also be receiving benefits like a free, full copy of an exclusive Indie game once per year, a free custom skin or in-game item for AAA games once per quarter, exclusive hardware discounts, and exclusive access to The Talos Principle and first-party content from Nvidia, reports DigitalTrends.
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti surfaced around September will reportedly be based on Nvidia's GP102 graphics chip to provide the same performance the refreshed Titan X currently offers at a hefty $1,200, only at a lower price point. The supposed hardware specs for te upcoming graphic card includes 3,328 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR5X memory, and a boost clock speed of 1,623MHz.
