During our testing we noticed the card hovering just over the 180 Watts range for power consumption, under full load/stress that is. That is slightly higher compared to reference values, yet in reality is due to the factory overclock and all the lovely extras. The Gigabyte G1 Gaming will try to force as much performance out of the cards at a maximum cooling threshold of roughly 65~70 Degrees C for this 1070 model with the Windforce 3X cooler. It also has some new LED functionality which we'll show you in some photos as well.

The GeForce GTX 1070 is 11 inches in length which is 28 cm so it should fit comfortably in pretty much any decent chassis. Precise measurements btw are H=41 L=280 W=114 mm.  The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GP104-200 GPU and for those that wonder, the board is equipped with Samsung GDDR5 memory ICs. A 8 phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP104-200 GPU and memory subsystem with power. The card (with cooler) weighs roughly 1000g.

The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GP104-200 GPU. For those that wonder, the board is equipped with Samsung GDDR5 memory ICs. An actual 8+2 phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP104-200 GPU and that GDDR5 memory with power. Try to imagine the product on a nice dark motherboard / chassis. BTW see the Gigabyte logo on top? Let's zoom in a little.

So that logo + fan stop is the configurable area for RGB LED functionality. You can choose any color and a few animations as well (breeze/flash/random/static/etc). Above an example of the RGB LED configuration with the Gigabyte XTREME ENGINE software.
