Zotac shows the GTX 2017 Mini, the reduced version of the GTX 1080 with higher frequencies than the stock version, at CES 1080.
The downsizing of graphics cards is a current trend to allow users who want compact solutions to enjoy great graphics power. Zotac has opted for compression and presented the GTX 2017 Mini at CES 1080, a small version of the GTX 1080, designed for users who want a powerful team in a very small space. What differentiates it from other solutions is that in this case we are talking about the smallest GTX 1080 in the world.
Zotac has developed a fully customized PCB to fit the full power of the GTX 1080 in a smaller space. Logically this graphics card is connected through a PCIe 3.0 x16 and the heatsink of this graphics card is somewhat larger than the PCB. As we said, the heatsink, larger than the PCB itself, has two fans and copper heatpipes that distribute the heat through the aluminum fins to efficiently dissipate heat.
A metal backplate has also been provided to help cool the components located in the rear area. This GTX 1080 Mini is also working at a frequency of 1620Mhz and a Boost frequency of 1759Mhz. Zotac has achieved that despite reducing the dimensions, the working frequencies are higher than the series of this GPU. Also, this graphics card has 8GB of GDDR5X memory with a 256-bit memory bus.
No data has been given on the market launch date of this graphics card or the market price, but since it has already been officially presented, it should not take long to reach the market.
