[btarunr]

GIGABYTE, the world's leading premium gaming hardware manufacturer, today launched the GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GAMING graphics card (GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD). Powered by Pascal, the new king of graphics card is packed with legendary G1 GAMING designs to deliver unprecedented performance for next-generation gaming. 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.



Full-spectrum RGB Lights up G1 GAMING Spirit
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.

Game on and Go Super Overclock
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.

Built with G1 Durability
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 what are the clocks and price on this one??

 

[ppn]

€ 799 for a 256bit only 1 8pin. Equipped with low profile 75mm fans the equivalent of cooling a 180 watt CPu with only low profile miniitx cooler like noctua. Madness. Who does that, Video cards do, Anything goes. Cmon just look at it, the main heat dissipation area that isn't blocked by the shroud covers like 1 and 1/3 fan. Weak. Clock speeds may vary depending on silicon quality and temperature/power headroom. Nowadays you have to clock in 20 Mhz steps with separate voltage settings for like 100 points. What is this madness, I want single clock frequency and voltage and that's it. This is just too much. Can't take it.

Welcome to 2016, where everything is equipped with full RGB LED light.

I didn't even know flashy LED's are again a thing. Everyone I see seems to prefer stealthy designs not this blingy crap. I guess I was wrong, otherwise everyone wouldn't be making these...

Yeah I cant believe this is what's hot right now. IMO gpu's should not come with more than a illuminated logo.

That's exactly what Gigabyte has done on their G1 card. Only their Gigabyte name and Fan stop indicator are led lit.

just tell me it's 2ghz core from factory

€799

The rip is real. Truly curious how many sheep are going to buy into this.

You'll be glad to see our 1080 Xtreme Gaming once we unveil it then, keep your eyes peeled.

Gez...allthis RGB thing...EVERYWHERE. The design is ugly as hell, the 980 g1 gaming is stunning, looks industrial, its a tank, not this ugly shell. it looks like everyone is tending to asus new rog look design.

Can all the lights be turned off? If yes that is awesome.

Agree, it looks really great.
