because that's a terrible idea. a 1080 is massive overkill for 1080p and no one would buy an intentionally gimped GPU

Why is it called the gtx 1080 if it can game at 4k?? Why isn't it limited to 1080p???

Because it's a name and names have little聽to do with capabilities.

Because that would be stupid.

Twenty years ago, sure. But the 1080 has nothing to do with that card.

Please don't make troll posts. Think about your question if its not, its like saying why is a Volvo XC-90 not limited to 90mph聽

We should all be able to see the only thing you want is attention, and congratulations, you received it!

I myself would still get one though. The reference card at 1080p with vsync enabled+74Hz OC on my screen would probably be far quieter than my GTX 970. With lower power consumption and hot air going directly out of the case.
