NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti And Club GeForce Elite Program Confirmed In LinkedIn Posting
NVIDIA could sit on its laurels and do absolutely nothing but kick out driver releases for the next several months and it probably would still hold a dominate position in graphics. That is how good its Pascal architecture is, and the available graphics card options built around it. But NVIDIA is not standing still, it is moving forward and is close to releasing arguably the most exciting Pascal card to date, the much anticipated GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

In a way, however, it confirmed the inevitable release of a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti by mentioning it in a recent job posting on LinkedIn, the popular social network for professionals. NVIDIA is in search of a Senior Marketing Manager to help with the launch of the Ti card along with a new Club GeForce Elite program.

The listing outlines several tasks that the job candidate will either take charge of or participate in promoting. One of them is ensuring that GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card owners "get first spot in line for 1080 Ti pre-orders, or 'Step Up' offer. There is no mention of a launch date, but we suspect NVIDiA will make an announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month, and it appears by the job listing that a pre-order program will follow.
NVIDIA goes on to mention a user loyalty program called "Club GeForce," which is in reference to the awards and giveaways that GeForce Experience users benefit from. It appears as though NVIDIA wants to eventually expand the program with a $10 per month subscription tier called Club GeForce Elite. Benefits of being a member would include;
