Product Showcase
At default settings, overall you are looking at a card that consumes roughly 300 Watts under full load/stress. We'll check that out in more detail later on though.
The cooler seems to be doing a terrific job in cooling. The card remains passive up-to a GPU temperature of roughly 60 Degrees C, the fans do not even spin. The fans used are a new revision and the assembly basically consist out of a x3 90mm fan setup. This should offer more airflow. The backplate is properly ventilated and has many gaps and spaces, loving that!
The card is very lengthy and thick, roughly 12.2 inches in length which is around 31 cm so it should only fit in decent size chassis. A 16 GPU + 3 mem phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP102 GPU with power. The three additional power phases are dedicated to the board’s GDDR5X memory.
They are a bit of a trend and like everybody is following. The LED system can be controlled. The lighting system on this graphics card is capable of displaying millions of colors and different effects for a personalized gaming system. The LCD screen on top also displays information. we'll show you that in a video though as well as some RGB effects.
In its default configuration the colors just simply is white. Fun fact, you'll get LEDs at the display connectors, also configurable.
And yes, the PCI-Express power connectors are lit up as well, honestly I like it very much. If you see that in a real-world environment, it just looks fantastic.
