Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GAMING review -
Product Showcase
As you can see, three DP, one HDMI and one DVI connector. There's ample room to exhaust air, so a lot of it will be vented inside your chassis. The new WindowForce 3X cooler features 3 pure copper composite heat-pipes, special fin architecture and a rather unique blade fan design. Up-to a GPU temperature of 60 Degrees C the fans do not spin. The fans (Blade) used are a new revision and should also offer a bit more airflow. Gigabyte will try to force as much performance out of the cards at a maximum cooling threshold of roughly 70 Degrees C for this 1080 G1 Gaming model.
The GeForce GTX 1080 is roughly 11 inches in length which is 28 cm so it should fit comfortably in pretty much any decent chassis. Precise measurements btw are H=42 L=286 W=115 mm.
The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GP104-400 GPU. For those that wonder, the board is equipped with Micron GDDR5X memory ICs. An actual 8+2 phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP104-400 GPU and that GDDR5X memory with power. The card (with cooler) weighs roughly 1000g. 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.
RGB LEDs are a bit of a trend and like everybody Gigabyte is following. They did it right and subtle though. Of course, you can also turn them off as well. I do think that is a terrific looking product with the accents and all matte black.
