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.

You know for a 100$ extra for this card u would think they would have at least used all the component space it looks like they cut down to make the board cheaper but it costs more.

But then it would OC better due to more stable power delivery. Idea is to have lower TDP and no way around it.
AIBs are going to make much better PCBs. And it is likely people will see much better OC on those.

I never understood the "reference" hype. It is more expensive without any serious reason. The custom ones will come with better OC's and quality.

What do you mean "reference" hype?

There's like me and 2 more persons who prefer reference boards

Pretty much looks like a 980 PCB, or did I miss something major?

It's less complicated than 980. Although 6 phases vs 5 on 980.
Including one for memory...I think

its so funny how most people still dont know the difference between the cooler on the reference model and the founders edition (vapor chamber), and even apply the higher price of the later, to above product, which is just the reference (non founders) edition running a stock (non vapor) cooler...
