So much blurp in these press releases, can't they include the specs people want to know?
Boost/base/mem clock?
Power connectors?
Power phases?
(gigabyte actually includes the last one, but many others don't mention anything)

Unfortunately that's down to you to do. A bit of homework is obviously needed before buying a £600+ gfx card.
I trust the G1 name but that's not what makes me buy from them.
Just wait till all HH reviews them all and then decide which one suits you.
The UK etailer i won't mention here has yet to post all of the cards Mhz but some are shown and the GTX 1080 DirectCU III Strix Gaming Aura RGB seems to lead atm with the highest Factory OC @ Boost Clock: 1936MHz. Most of the others just show 1733Mhz on the boost.

Now just need reviews and availability. I liked my G1 970, and the G1 980 Ti's performed well in your review so this is my #1 choice atm for a 1080. But not dead set yet. Need some custom aib reviews!
