It is time once again to take and test the best that Galax / KFA2 has to offer, their mighty HOF (Hall Of Fame) graphics card, based on that GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. This graphics cards comes 100% customized with factory tweaks, a triple fan and cooler and a very impressive RGB solution with even an LCD display.

Great looking GPU in need of a slim WC kit to show off it's naked body... er... bling bling! That heatsink/fan is just hiding all the beauty underneath it!
And this was probably the biggest catch phrase - "If you can pick it up for the right price then we can wholeheartedly recommend it." I didn't see a listed SRP so I am expecting us mortals cannot afford it.

Yes nice review as usual BUT "recommended" product at that price.. ? Don't think so.
Unless anyone doesn't count price as factor for comparison (but most of us do)

OK is this the nicest 1080 Ti or what??
Seems like they have somewhat dialed back the clocks compared to Apr/May announcement.
OK I found something bad about it: 2 years warranty as per:
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/kfa2-offers-gtx-1080-ti-the-hof-8-pack-edition-for-1125-euros.html
I know this card wont be much 2 years from now, perf wise that is, but premium and quality wise she will always be a beast. Why not lifetime warranty...

Thanks for review HH!
Nice temps/cooling on that card even while OC.
I'm starting to like this LCD screen idea, lots of usefull stats can be displayed in that LCD.
Dunno if it comes with age or something else but I'm also starting to like this whiteish PCBs and everything (I know it could look fugly combined with greyish dust and PCB may become brownish on some parts due to higher temperature). Maybe I've just get bored with my main colour choice for builds in past 10 years or so (matte black) and maybe some pure white build (with descrete blue LEDs here and there) will be my choice for next build.
Nice card for sure, guess fan housing desing won't be everyones cup of tea especially for those living in the west (guess Asia countries was the main target market on mind while they were creating housing for fans) but everything else on this card looks very nice. Nice to see 3x 8-pin PCIex 12V but most average users won't see any benefit of 3rd connector.
