Overview

The GeForce GTX 1080 high-end graphics card with Pascal architecture is a milestone in NVIDIA's graphics card history. Built in the 16-nm FinFET process, the GP104 graphics chip of the GTX 1080 is a big step forward. The "Pascal" GPU architecture has many improvements over the predecessor "Maxwell". At the GTX 1080 the new GDDR5X video RAM is used for the first time. The GTX 1080 is the absolute must-have for gamers and enthusiasts!

The features of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Aorus Extreme 8G at a glance

WindForce 3X cooler design with special backplate
Two internal HDMI front connectors
High base clock of the GPU: 1,784 MHz
Enormous boost clock of the GPU: 1.936 MHz
Very fast memory clock: 5,200 MHz (effectively 10,400 MHz)
Additional power connections: 2x 8 pin
Gigabyte WindForce-3X cooler design with factory overclocking & special backplate

The Gigabyte GTX 1080 Aorus Extreme 8G has a base clock of 1.759 MHz in gaming mode. With GPU-Boost 3.0 this can be raised to a boost rate of 1.898 MHz. The storage clock is at 5,108 MHz (effectively 10,216 MHz). Using the XTREME software, the Gigabyte graphics card can change to "OC" mode. The OC mode increases the base clock to 1.784 MHz and the boost clock to 1.936 MHz while the memory clock is raised to 5,200 MHz (effectively 10,400 MHz).

Cooling the graphics card comes with the semi-passive WindForce 3X cooler design from the manufacturer Gigabyte, which consists of three heatpipes, two large-area cooling blocks made of aluminum fins and three 100 mm fans. The special "triangle fan-edge design" of the fan blades has a up to 23 percent better airflow than conventional fans. The Windforce-3X-Cooler features a RGB-LED illuminated lettering and a backplate for increased PCB stability.

Features of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Aorus Extreme 8G include two internal HDMI connectors that can be used to connect VR front panels. The special feature of the backplate is an integrated copper block, which dissipates heat generated by the GPU at the back of the PCB directly from the card - directly into the airflow in the case!

GeForce GTX 1080: Maximum gaming power for VR and 4K!

The 8GB GDDR5X video memory of the GTX 1080 is connected to the GPU via a 256-bit memory interface, which achieves a memory bandwidth of 320 GB / s. In addition to the video memory, the 2.560 CUDA cores of the GP104 graphics chip are responsible for the brutal gaming power of the GeForce GTX 1080.

The GTX-1080 graphics card family supports DirectX 12 and current gaming technologies, including NVIDIA GameWorks, Warp, Stereo-X, VR-Audio, PhysX and SMP (Simultaneous Multi-Projection). The latter is supported in version 4.0 and offers great advantages especially for VR, curved displays and multi-display setups.

Several monitors were viewed by games as a kind of broad monitor, rendering the GPU just a viewport and creating distortions. Thanks to SMP, Pascal now supports 16 simultaneous viewports, which allow a much more realistic display on several monitors, on curved displays or in 3D operation.

Especially VR benefits from the new technology, because two viewports can be rendered in one run. By using multiple viewports, the rendered image also comes with a smaller number of calculated pixels, which greatly improves VR performance.

Despite the extremely high computing power and memory expansion with 8 GB GDDR5X, the GeForce GTX 1080 works with a TDP of only 180 watts, which is compared to the direct predecessor GTX 980 only 15 watts more - at a significantly higher speed. Thanks to the reworked power supply of the GTX 1080 PCB, the energy efficiency of the GTX 980 increases by a whole six percent thanks to the new five-phase supply (in the reference layout) of the GPU and the various optimizations on the PCB.

The GeForce GTX 1080 has state-of-the-art connections. A total of three DisplayPort 1.4 and an HDMI 2.0b connection are available for an image transmission of 4K / Ultra HD resolutions at 60 hertz, the latter having HDCP 2.2 and thus able to send and receive encrypted signals (4K-Blu -Rays / 4K streams). Alternatively, the GTX 1080 has a DVI-D (dual-link) output.

In order to exploit the full potential of the card in the future, new drivers of NVIDIA or Gigabyte should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.

The manufacturer warranty for this graphics card of the Gigabyte XTREME series is three years from the date of manufacture by default and can be extended to a total of 4 years within a period of 30 days after purchase, upon registration in the manufacturer's "XTREME GAMING Club".

Graphics card exchange without waiting for caseking!

During the warranty period of 2 years from the date of purchase, Caseking will be exchanged directly by the customer for defective graphics cards - ie those with a defect confirmed by us - of all the brands mentioned below directly against new product (if stocked). A sending of the faulty goods to the manufacturer and associated longer waiting times are thus completely eliminated! If the graphic card to be replaced is no longer available or available, we will issue a credit note. Then an alternative graphics card from our range can be selected freely. Any extra costs incurred can be easily reimbursed and any remaining amounts will be refunded by us.
