Gigabyte announces the next arrival of the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Rock Edition with the WindForce 3X heatsink, but in its 'classic' version.
Gigabyte has announced by surprise the arrival of a new graphics card, specifically the arrival of the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Rock Edition. The curious thing about this graphics card is that it has the WindForce 3X heatsink, but not the current design, but rather the old design, which we could see in the GTX 900/700 series and also in the Radeon Fury. Although it may seem simpler and perhaps even more bland than the current design, the truth is that users prefer this design to the current one.
The cooling system is divided into two blocks with a large number of aluminum fins, which are crossed by five copper heatpipes, which carry the heat from the GPU directly to the fins so that they dissipate heat efficiently with the help of the fans. Regarding the fans, we know that these have three 100mm fans with great air flow and a fairly low noise level. The rear has a backplate that helps to efficiently dissipate heat.
The new version of the GTX 1080 is based on the GP104-400 graphics processor, which has a manufacturing processor of 16nm FinFET and internally has 2560 CUDA Cores with 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. Said grace card works at a base frequency of 1632MHz and a Boost frequency of 1771MHz. It does not increase the amount of VRAM, which is still 8GB GDDR5X with a working frequency of 10GHz. This graphics card has a single 8-pin PCIe connector for power. We do not have any data on price or departure date.
