Graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA has recently released their high-end graphics processing unit (GPU) which is the GTX 1080. It is priced at around $600 and promises next generation graphics. However, early owners of the new graphics card are experiencing a bit of a problem with the card regarding compatibility.

There were reports suggesting that the latest flagship card from NVIDIA is having compatibility issues with some devices like the HTC Vive virtual reality (VR) headgear in which the GTX 1080's display port connectors doesn't seem to function with the mentioned headset. In the meantime, HTC Vive owners will just have to make do with connecting their headset to their PC's High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port.

Moreover, another concern that arose while using the graphics card is the promised extra boost that doesn't seem to be evident to VR devices. Last July 6, the GPU maker unveiled the GeForce Game Ready Driver 368.69, claiming that it will support VR-compatible titles. Unfortunately, the driver somewhat halted the graphics card's boost clock capabilities hence, lesser output.

Having saiid that, Brian Del Rizzio, NVIDIA's senior public relations manager, stated that they have already pinpointed the root cause of the problem and devised another software to eventually fix the issue.

Released last May 27, NVIDIA globally released their flagship GPU, the GTX 1080, which claims that it will offer up to three times faster performance and next generation VR gameplay with base and boost clock speeds of 1,607 MHz and 1,733 MHz respectively. The card is powered by a whopping 2,560 CUDA cores, not to mention that it's Ansel-capable, hence, players can take clear and crisp screenshots of their favorite games. In addition, the company also dished out the graphics card's "Founder's Edition" which is $100 more as compared to the standard GPU and has a purchase limit of two cards per buyer.

Meanwhile, users will have to wait for the latest updates regarding the new driver NVIDIA is developing to resolve GTX 1080's issue.
