Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 AORUS 11 Gbps review - Product Showcase

The card has been fitted with a binned (sorted) Nvidia Pascal GPU based on 16 nm FinFet architecture, and with 7.2 billion transistors, 2,560 shader/stream cores, and 8 GB of GDDR5X, it’s a rather fast product. GIGABYTE offers a triple slot triple fan 100mm solution, extra plating cools all key components of the graphics card including VRAM and MOSFET zones, to ensure a stable overclock operation and longer life. That's a beautiful looking product alright, though I am not a fan of the white striping. 

 

 
The GPU empowering the product is called the GP104-400 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has 2,560 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 160 texture units. The reference/founder cards actually have a base clock frequency of 1,607 MHz, this card is set to run a 1759 MHz base clock. So this card is a good 100 MHz clocker higher. The reality is that this card hovers at the ~1.95 GHz marker on the boost frequency pretty much all the time. Due to the massive and effective cooling the many Nvidia limiters do not kick in (under normal conditions). 

 



The GeForce GTX 1080 display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0 support, the GeForce GTX 1080 can be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs. Again this is triple slots, thus you'll need some room on your motherboard.
 

 


The card has a 180 Watt rated TDP, 75-150 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 2x 150 Watts through the 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connectors. So yes, you'll have spare for a nice overclock power wise, unfortunately Nvidia limiters will prevent that.

Gigabyte B550 Vision D review
Meet the Gigabyte B550 Vision D motherboard. This product from the Vision series (which includes also a Z490 motherboard) is an AMD AM4 socket product targeted at creators. Built in the ATX form-factor, the design resembles GB’s Designaire models. Make no mistake, this is a high-end product. It should provide excellent stability, and boasts features not to be found in cheaper models.
