If like me, you want an easy plug and play graphics card then buy this, the extra hdmi ports are very useful, can play most games at high / medium settings and the cost isn't stupidly high.

As usual from B&H the best pricing and service I can find. Always ships fast and precise orders, and quick access to B&H over the phone for any questions. I know this is a review of the merchandise which for these products are already market proven, however B&H adds to the ease of procurement and...

Delivers competitive performance to other popular vendor-overclocked GTX 1080s while costing a bit less and running cooler. Unless you're wanting to go much past 2GHz clock speeds, this is a fantasticly good pick.

- Great performer out of the box; Won't even break a sweat at 1080p and does great at 2K resolutions with ultra detail settings; - Plenty of room to overclock; Using MSI Afterburner, I was able to hit 1950 MHz core / 5375 MHz memory (effective) at 108% power without even touching the...

- Fans get a bit noisy once they spin up past 60-70%; - Has a very small amount of coil whine - Only has one 8-pin connector, which implies that it might not overclock to the ragged edge (2GHz+) quite as well as some other 1080s

Basically, this card runs 4k about as good as the GTX 980 ran 1440p. It runs overwatch with every single setting maxed out except for Dynamic reflections turned down one notch at 4k and solid 60 fps. (This is sort of a combination betwen the presets ULTRA and EPIC.

Price; Xtreme gaming app required for factory "OC" mode

The card worked great. I had one fan die after about 9 months or so. Now all three are dead at just over a year after purchase. Needless to say, I won't be buying gigabyte GPU's again.

I won't bore you with figures bit needless to say this card has run every game i have on full resoloution (4k) and doesn't make any noise unless i manually put the fan to a high setting. As usual gigabyte has a high build quality.

Have you ever purchased a component just because it was more expensive than another because you thought you may be getting more? Sometimes that works out but other times it may not. Many of us make our purchases on impulse, word of mouth or brand.

Tri-Angle Cooling; Comes with backplate; Low Power Consumption; 150W Gaming TDP; Price Point; Performance; One Click Super Overclock; Low Overall Temperatures; Barely Audible Fan Noise; SLI Capability; RGB LED; Smart Power LED Indicator

XTREME Engine Utility is Complicated to Figure Out; Should have an LED Front

A review of an aftermarket GeForce GTX 1080 is really an evaluation of the how well an add-in card (AIC) partner has designed their PCB and cooling system. The best Pascal GPU pulls no more than 180W under load, according to Nvidia, and even if we add on 20 per cent more power for third-party boards...

Solid; predictable performance; Two-slot form factor; Rear heatsink works well

Louder than we'd like; Getting more expensive by the day; Limited OC potential on core

The new Pascal GPU based products from Nvidia are a bit of a hit, and while I do think the GeForce GTX 1070 is going to be the more popular product over the 1080 due to pricing, there obviously will be many 1080 aficionados out there as well.

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming is one of the smaller cards we have tested. It is slightly shorter than most cards, but the main difference is the height. The only card that is shorter than the Gigabyte, the MSI, is a lot higher.
