GALAX GeForce 1080 Ti Hall of Fame Poses for the Camera - 16+3 Phase Design

This here is probably the most beautiful AIB partner card I've ever seen (and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you are naturally free to disagree with me.) The pristine color scheme and subdued backplate design really stand out for me, as does the white PCB. Nitpicking, I hoped the power cables would not be color coded as they are, but I guess that would invite disaster.
Stopping the ogling for a moment, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this GALAX GTX 1080 Ti HOF features not two, but three (!) white, 8-pin auxiliary power connectors. I've seen this before in some R9 290X's (Sapphire's offerings also looked great, but not so much as this one does), and this is really a case of going overboard with power connections. Luckily, that over-designed power delivery is accompanied by a 16+3 phase power design, which should ensure clean, stable power delivery with extra stability for those overclocking feats this card just begs to be put through. The card features a 2.5 slot design with a triple-fan cooling solution, and carries LED illumination on the HOF crown logo. There are some pin headers for voltage measurement, a jumper for some mysterious function, and a button on the I/O bracket, which could be a fancier BIOS toggle.
