Favorable pre-flagship

The new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card was supposed to shake the position of the GTX 1080 — they have a very close number of microcores (2432 versus 2560 pcs). But this did not happen immediately for two reasons. Firstly, NVIDIA limited the ability to manually overclock the GTX 1070 Ti, which deprived users of the opportunity to level the gap with the GTX 1080 on their own. equals or even exceeds the cost of the older model. So the GTX 1080, once the leader of the Pascal family (before the release of the GTX 1080 Ti), is still the most profitable solution for gaming in 2K and 4K resolution, as well as for connecting virtual reality helmets.

triple airflow

One of the best modifications of this graphics card is the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 WindForce 3 OC. The phrase "WindForce 3" implies the presence of three fans with a proprietary blade structure that reduces air turbulence and reduces noise. The diameter of the impellers is relatively small (8 cm), however, the graphics card, even under load, works very quietly, but simply completely “swamps” the motors.

Copper and aluminium

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 WindForce 3 OC cooling system is complemented by a massive two-section aluminium radiator with three thick 8mm copper heat pipes. An additional small heatsink is installed on top of the mosfets of the power circuit and ensures stable operation both in the factory mode (the word "OC" in the model name) and manual overclocking (depending on the success of a particular instance of the graphics card). The length of the graphics card is average — 28 cm. Most of even cheap cases support the installation of video cards up to 29 cm, but just in case, it is better to measure the distance from the rear panel to the basket with disks in advance with a ruler.
