NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Reference PCB Photos
Well, that didn't take long. Videocardz leaked the GeForce GTX 1080 PCB photos. The NVIDIA PG413 board is equipped with 5+1 power phases.
The PCB is 6-phase VRM / DrMOS and the green gobler 16 nm GP104 ASIC appears to be doing well. You can see the eight 8 Gbit GDDR5X memory chips. There’s just one 8pin power connector, but NVIDIA made room for additional power connector in case AIBs want to modify reference board. Have a peek at the screenshots, courtesy of Videocardz.

I don't see why that's far fetched. It's rumored to have roughly as many cores as a 390x no? Those cores are supposedly improved GCN 1.3/4/whatever number. 390x overclocked by 12% shows roughly a 8% increase in performance according to hardOCP. Clock Polaris 10 at 1400mhz and it should be like 25-30% faster then a 390x, which puts it at Ti levels, especially in DX12 games.
Seems reasonable.
Another way to look at it is from power consumption standpoint. I would imagine that AMD is reasonably competitive with Nvidia with Polaris. 1080 is 180w, 1070 is supposedly faster than a Titan X, I would imagine it's closer to 140w. Polaris 10 is rumored to be ~130w. Seems like 980Ti performance would be achievable if Nvidia is able to beat it with 10w more.
I can't see how Polaris 10 could hit 980Ti/Fury X performance, unless they really did some magic with the pipeline and the clockspeeds are insane. Not that I would have a problem.

Looks quite bare to me. And for the price premium, they could have at least put a metal shim around the GPU die, for protection.

They should call it Carpenter Edition. Pretty disappointed. Now waiting for 1070, but I doubt they will improve the PCB...

Arguable. It depends on how long it takes for the 1070/1080 to go from founders edition prices to the base MSRP. Right now it looks like every 1080 card at launch is going to be $700, who knows when they will hit $600.
The rumor is Polaris 10 is going to be $300 ~980Ti performance. Which is a lot better than 1070's $480 ~ Titan X performance.
