Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 Mini Review - Product Showcase

  


The card takes advantage of Nvidia's 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.
  

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 have a base clock frequency of 1,607 MHz, this card is set to run a 1759 MHz base clock. The reality is that this card hovers at the  ~1.80 GHz marker on the boost frequency pretty much all the time. Yeah, it's a bit longer than expected for something called Mini, due to that cooler.

The card has a 180 Watt rated TDP, 75-150 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 1x150 Watts through an 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connector.
