Gigabyte launches GTX 1080 G1 GAMING Graphics Card
Gigabyte today launches the GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GAMING graphics card (GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD). Featuring Super Overclock GPU, the signature WINDFORCE 3X cooling and RGB illumination, this G1 GAMING graphics card provides a proven solution in terms of overclocking capabilities, silent cooling, and customizable lighting for an enriched gaming experience and beyond.
The legendary WINDFORCE 3X cooling system incorporates 3 pure copper composite heat-pipes with direct touch to the GPU, special fin architecture, and unique blade fan design. Together the WINDFORCE delivers an effective heat dissipation capacity for bringing out the best of Pascal while keeping the card cool. The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, which allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle. An LED fan indicators provides a user-friendly, instant display of the fan status.
The new black shroud with orange accents provides a new vibrant gaming visual look to G1 GAMING. The metal back plate offers rigidity and protection to the structure, while adding a sleek, clean look to the card. The GTX 1080 G1 GAMING is further styled up with the GIGABYTE LED logo available in full-spectrum RGB. With 16.8M customizable color options and numerous lighting effects, gamers have the maximum freedom to choose the right scheme for their gaming rigs using XTREME Engine utility software.
The GTX 1080 G1 GAMING is forged with only the top-notch GPU core through the very own GPU Gauntlet Sorting technology, ensuring the maximum overclocking performance without compromising system reliability. The card is backed by an 8+2 phase power design for load balance that effectively extends the stability and longevity with lower component temperature. It ultimately allows greater overclocking headroom, reinforcing higher, stable boost clocks for today’s heavy-load game titles. The card also comes with one-click overclocking via XTREME Engine. With a simple mouse click, gamers can easily tune the card to meet their various gaming requirements without any overclocking knowledge, while saving the hassle of manual adjustment.
Boasted with the highest-grade chokes and capacitors, the GTX 1080 G1 GAMING delivers outstanding performance and durable system lifespan to take on today’s most challenging gaming demands. In case of any power abnormality, gamers could easily visualize the issue at hand with the smart power LED indicator.

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.

i can answer that one. it comes with only 1 power connector. it appears gigabyte is gimping their G1 series which we knew as top of the line, in favor of their new xtreme gaming line.

I would love to, but it took hours for most companies to even post spec sheets, and gigabyte still hasn't (or I didn't find it yet). Not sure where else to get authorative information, other then waiting more, which defeats the entire point! :p
Although from the specs I have seen, the ASUS does seem to look pretty good. Hope reviews come in next week.

That's one of the main reasons people come to Guru3D. We trust in HH to give us the full low down on all these new 3rd party cards and the wait is only a few days after release before H has most of the best cards reviewed.
Not just reviewed but stripped down naked and poked and probed until all is relieved. Only then should you make a decision on which product you want. Takes a lot of the guess work out of the equation.
Then you splash £600-£700 on the 1080 and are totally made up with it for a few months until the 600-700 Ti is released and 1080 drops down to 500-600 pounds and you feel gutted.
You have a Titan X, why would you even bother with 1080? If it was a 1080Ti i'd understand but that's not my business but still i wouldn't do it personally.

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!
