GeForce GTX 1080 Photos (updated)
So at last nights event there where a couple of setups showing the GeForce GTX 1080. The cards where available in large quantities alright. Update: I got my hands on our test sample, see attached some extra new photos.
As you can see the GeForce GTX 1080 draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Which makes sense wwith a TDP of just 180W. It features three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and an HDMI 2.0 connector as well as a dual-link DVI port.
Have a peek, click the thumbnails to enlarge.

Now we can "assume" that there will be a more power hungry version possibly branded the Ti.....?? I like the low power consumption, but would like the ability to throw as much as I want to at it. I like what I've seen so far......., but am not sure that I'll be selling off the OG TITAN's just yet.
Not sure, but 3rd party board makers can always add their own "Powah" to their particular setups right...?? Could not imagine having a couple of these cards with the ability to throw much more power at it right out of the box.

Thanks,but no thanks.
What we see there is only the cover,not what's inside.
Btw the Card is too long!!!Because of GDDR5 or GDDR5X???
Wait for Hbm or Hbm2 cards,I know will be expensive but woth it.
Hope to see soon the specs and benches.

NOTE: HDMI 2.0b is less complete than HDMI2.0a, it can't provide 4k 60hz with 4:4:4.
Not 10 bit nor 12 bit.
http://www.hdfever.fr/2013/11/14/tableau-comparatif-hdmi-1-4-vs-hdmi-2-0a-vs-hdmi-2-0b/
So for Pascal 4k 60hz 4:4:4 you will need to use display ports out.

I'm looking forward to the 2.5Ghz overclocked monster 3rd party cards.
I'm betting 2.5ghz is possible with the really high end binned chips.
A reference card from Nvidia that boosts to 21-2200mhz which is way over the estimated 1800mhz.
My 980 G1 has this same behavior as it says 1329 but mine boosts to over 1400mhz without any overclocks. No where near that 1080 but maybe they used only really high ASIC cards.

The cooler design leak made it seem more edgy and ugly but it's actually quit nice IMO

Again, the only reason we had a 980-Ti was to answer Fury-X. With Polaris 10 maybe not even matching 1070, they'll probably release a 1060-Ti yeah...

AFIK 980TI was first.
Fury X was an AMD release to "fight" the already present 980TI not the other way around.

Let's do the work lol:
Fury X was released on June 24, 2015.
980-Ti was released on June 2, 2015.
Given the time it takes to release such product, R&D etc... , they're both fighting on the same market segment, at the same timeframe.
But "Who shot first?", we'll never know indeed. My bet is AMD worked on Fury-X, Nvidia heard of it and brought their cutdown version of Titan-X to compete: 980-Ti.
Anyway they at least had both suspicion about the market positionning of their opponent.
But here it's pretty clear AMD has nothing in stock to compete with 1080. Not until Vega at least. So why waste money in R&D and Marketing etc... for a 1080-Ti? there would be no point at all.
