NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 "Pascal" Reference Cooler Pictured Again

[btarunr]

NVIDIA's upcoming high-end graphics card, the GeForce GTX 1080, is dressing up for a June 2016 tentative launch. Its reference-design cooling solution is an evolution of NVIDIA's highly acclaimed NVTTM (NVIDIA time-to-market) cooling solution introduced with the GeForce GTX TITAN, spanning two generations of graphics cards (GTX 700 series and GTX 900 series). The design has more edges and lines, perhaps symbolizing the GPU's ability to deal with even more complex graphics. The cooler continues to be a lateral-blower type, which vents hot air from the rear panel. The cooler was first pictured by a worker at its aluminum milling line.

Who takes such pictures? Insiders from Nvidia who leaks photo's?

 

[GhostRyder]

Well, that is more attractive with the edgy news of the cooler. I like this change, but I wonder what else has changed!

 

[dj-electric]

Possibly a factory in China, i suspect.

Usually companies - the owners of the product or co-workers. I more assume that product owners like:"Here's a leak. Please be hyped!"

P.S. The most important do not be a herd and think wisely when you pay your money for every product

Compared to the previous slick ones, this edgy one looks awful.

...........with all that paperwork around it......someone with some magnifying skills should be able to figure out the who this belongs to.

我操看着好帅！新卡必买！

 

[ironwolf]

Meh, not diggin' all those angles.

That doesn't work quite as they picture it in the movies, you know?

 

[wickedcricket]

Pssshh, yeah right, like any one of you would buy a reference card.

 

[Casecutter]

As to the aesthetics on a scale of 1-5.
I'll be altruistic and give it a... 2

 

[dj-electric]

Who cares, really. Ill get it with Asus STRIX cooler on it anyway

 

[Easy Rhino]

Looks like a pile of crap.

Reference cards aren't made to look good...

Can't say it looks bad though!

Sure you can. It does. More angles makes it more 80's.

Besides, coolers don't interest me for aesthetics - performance is number one, that's why I rip 'em off and plug in rubber tubes.

 

[trog100]

it dosnt like whatever its cooling will generate that much heat.. maybe 970 type heat..

a blown up version.. not enough detail to see much..

trog

Thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn why do you care what ANY cooler looks like? LOL!

 

[hapkiman]

I'm not digging those angles. It looks like a 12 year old kid designed it.

 

[efikkan]

So it will be a low "polycount" graphics card?

Just kidding, it looks OK for a reference cooler.

 

[PLAfiller]

Deus Ex Mankind divided edition - yay!

 

[Legacy-ZA]

It looks like a air-cooled Vampire Coffin. ^_^

 

[ppn]

what angles. its perfect at least looking at it from a distance, my tiles have better angles than this.

 

[heydan83]

It looks to me more like a crashed car...

Loved the titan cooler and now this one is ever better GTX 1070 reference cooler is my next GPU or if I can grab a superb deal on a 2 GTX 970s with reference coolers and SLi them I may just do that I'll have to wait and see the performance difference between Maxwell and Pascal.
