Nice card and great review H, but this massive cooler still doesn't seem to net any extra overclocking compared to other AIB cards, maybe it will help with throttling , sadly the days of overclocking now seems very limited with GPU boost 3.0 and all the limiters. Putting Pascal under water cooling seems to net the best overclocks .
Shame we cant even find out what the ASIC quality is

I still see a product that is very close to its limits in games @4K.
The only way it will stay relevant is if you start to drop down to 1440p as time goes on.
If you want a card that will offer headroom to last more than a couple of years @4K then you will need a card that can reach 90-120fps @4K today, which of course doesn't exist.
What I'm basically saying is that this card should only be seen as the ultimate 1440p GPU.
If you want a true 4K card then you're going to have to wait for Volta.

Looks like this could be the GTX 1080ti card to get! Sure, the fastest GTX 1080ti (MSI Lightening) is 2% faster than this one, but this one is super quiet as well as having that bracket that keeps the card secured really well in the case. This is the one to get, silence is golden!

Given the artificial OC threshold, achieving less noise / temps becomes less and less useful... I don't know how much sense this cooler makes.
I guess it depends on the price.

It is and it isn't. Dimensions are too big. This wouldn't even fit in my Fractal R5 case unless I remove HDD cages.
I mean if they make GPU 500cm long it would run even cooler, but at what point do we stop?
