Colorful Shows Motherboard with integrated Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU
Here's something new, Colorful and Chaintech have shown a motherboard on Computex which houses a GP104-200 Nvidia GPU. That's the GTX 1070 for you. The motherboard seems to be a budget B150 Intel motherboard for compact gaming systems.
The motherboard has no PCIe slots available. But directly at that spot there is a GPU integrated on the PCB, along with GDDR5 memory chips from Samsung. From the markings on the GPU can be seen that it is the same chip as the GPU of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070. The board is codenamed 'B150-GP104', which seems to make it clear that it is a motherboard with Intel B150 chipset and socket 1151 for Skylake processors. There are two SODIMM slots available for memory. Courtesy for this spot goes out to TheLostSwede.
Colorful as well showed a motherboard with integrated GTX 980 GPU and the manufacturer has a version of a GTX 960 GPU in the works as well. We doubt a little that such motherboards will reach the market for consumers, we tkink more along the lines of small form factor game computers. The size of the motherboard also differs from standard form factors such as m-ITX.
VR backpack systems and Steam machines anyone ?

Engineering sample perhaps? that would be my guess.
although imo it doesnt look *that* bad.
Why does the board look like something from a 20 year old machine you found in a basement? lol

I'm sure its not meant for any design awards, since it going to probably be installed in closed non user accessible systems.

Remember when DELL & Co used to sell PC's with the graphics chip BGA'd to the motherboard and you couldn't to just put in a nice new Discrete Graphics Card and you had to buy a shiny new DELL system instead
Well this is the new generation of humping the masses

Apparently, you don't remember those days to well yourself. Most of those computers used pretty standard IGP chips. Stuff that was good enough to get you a working display, mooched off your SRAM, and were hardly capable of playing 360p videos in fullscreen. Even for their time, those IGPs were utter garbage. This Colorful board, meanwhile, supports a GTX 1070. That's not low end. I'm not sure it even qualifies as mid-range. It's an exciting idea, because it's a good GPU in a very, very small form factor.

If its not following any case/motherboard standard, then its not going to be sold to the public.
This looks like a Console, or even a series of "Nvidia Shield" like devices, if they wanted to deliver a whole range of them, that is...
