GTX 1080 Everywhere (Computex 2016)

2016-06-13
hello everyone I'm Dimitri with her economics on the gtx 1080 was all over the show floor Computex I'm surprised that the only gtx 1070 was all came from EVGA despite everybody sort of advertising in ten 70s now already you can read our full review of the gtx 1070 down below the founders edition will be linked in the description but now let's talk about the gtx 1080s that we saw and they're sort of respective positioning within this entire pool huge thanks to our Computex sponsors for sending us out here shout out to nvidia fantex and cix and msi so the first set of cards we got to see were from EVGA I don't know about you guys but I love the look of the new white shroud with these honeycomb pieces around the fans it is featuring the new a CX 3.0 cooler which is awesome but I really dislike the top plate with all the text they'll be visible when the card is installed inside your case I think it's a little bit too much now EVGA will be releasing six versions of the GTX 980 in order of price so we have the standard GTX 980 with EDG ace reference cooler then the 1080 with the a6 3.0 shroud then the superclocked card the FTW edition the hybrid and then they classified and their price from 609 to 619 to 649 to 679 respectively and not yet revealed for the pricing for the hybrid nor the classified and aside from the cooler difference we have higher boost clock speeds on the SC to 1847 megahertz and then only a mere 13 megahertz increase on the FTW Edition but now with a full RGB accents on the shroud and a higher power envelope with dual eight pins for power versus a single eight pins on all the lower cards the hybrid GPU is basically the FTW Edition but with a different cooler with the advantage of being cooler and quieter at load versus the standard AC X three panel design I think the FTW Edition will be the most popular card when it comes to the RGB implementation simply because I think it looks the best on all the 1080 cards I love the hybrid version as well they performed well but an all-in-one card is also often by Corsair so the GPU itself is provided by Amazon while coarser installs their age 55 cooler on the GPU bracket branded as the hydro GFX looks wise it's a more subdued design which is maybe what you're looking for and MSI will sell an identical card under the Seahawk line with a max boost clock of 1867 under the OSI mode it is very strange to see only a single 18 for power here considering how much you can push the core when it's underwater especially with EVGA giving us 2 8 pins and this might indicate a different target audience for Corsair and MSI who will potentially not want to push the car to its full limits like you would with a VGA card but perhaps more focused on silence and cooling and we saw plenty of cards from MSI as well so their gaming Z and X that features that Twin Frozr outlets probably one of the most popular ones the distinct red and black color scheme is certainly the staple for MSI while offering RGB lighting it's a little bit a weird color combination especially with the large msi text and the dragon on the backplate on the gaming Z card the gaming X will just have a plain backplate the gaming X boosts clocks reaches up to 1847 megahertz while the gaming Z is supposed to provide an even higher overclock which is right now unknown both cards required 8 plus 6 pin for power and a dual slot design but with very high PCB so now let's talk about Asus Strix with their directs III cooler it is $679 it's very large its angular it's very different from all the other brands we have RGB lighting on the LED strips on the shroud and the ROG logo on the back plate which will all link to the or aligning on their boards for this nice cohesion but the most impressive part about the strikes are the boost clocks which are the highest in this round up to 1936 megahertz so almost 2 gigahertz here now having such high boost clock here's awesome because every board partner has to go through the Nvidia greenlight program which means a serious overclocks the card or any other vendor they send it back to Nvidia for approval so that the Nvidia can say yes this is the correct boost clocks for that card so to avoid any measly clock speeds so the Strix will require six plus eight pin for power there are two four pin fan headers on the card itself and you can dedicate it a few fans to cooling the GPU based on the core temperatures and it's awesome and this is the first card from our list to feature a dual HDMI and dual DisplayPort for VR since HTC vive and oculus require an HDMI plus you can also have an HDMI display without compromising on any of the connectivity moving on we have the zotac amp next with two fans on the shroud I really love how the shroud beautifully wraps around the back of the card and the backplate is looking fine if you decide to go with that yellow theme and that's going to look awesome the zotac text on top is RGB the same goes for the two angular strips between the fans the boost clock here is 1822 it's a little bit lower than all the other cards but it will require dual eight pin for power that might indicate more Headroom to increase your power envelope and further overclock but a higher-end Zota card is the amp extreme which is a gigantic card with triple fans it's two and a half slots with dual a pin for power just as the amp the fans here are cool because there's a secondary set of blades in the middle that keeps more air by the heatsink now I'm really not a fan of the backplate design especially with the RGB push the limit text that's definitely over the top you know what if I don't want to push the limit come on unfortunately still we have no information on price or the boost clock speeds for the amp extreme perhaps it's because of the green light program they're probably going through the processing still and the last card on our list is the extreme gaming by gigabyte so we have this cool overlapping fan design that shrinks the card sized length which is awesome but it extends it so it's a two and a half slot card because of those thicker fans there are two HDMI ports out of the back for VR applications full RGB shroud that I think is a little over the top with the size of the text we have dual eight pin for power and unfortunately not sure why boost clocks for the extreme gaming are unknown yet and so that concludes our GT X 1080 roundup based on all the cars that we saw Computex there were still a few that we did not get a chance to see but we will sure change that hopefully with full reviews coming up make sure to subscribe and what was your favorite card on based on our list here today leave them in the comments down below I'll leave all the links to reviews and everything like that they'll be publishing later on on the 10 70s and the 10 80s I'm Dimitri without wreckin are extinct so much for watching we'll see you in the next video
