Thereafter, there was the advertisement for the flagship GPU on NVIDIA’s official twitter account. In its base configuration, the GeForce GTX 1080 has a base clock of 1697 MHz and a boost clock of 1733 MHz.

It was only earlier this week that the likes of ASUS and Gigabyte began teasing their inevitable GTX 1080 designs, as Nvidia launches their Founder’s Edition card today.
That new Twin Frozr VI cooler features the Torx Fan 2.0, an improved version of the previous Torx fan to deliver 22% more air pressure for enhanced cooling at lower noise levels.
Dressed in a fashionable Black and White design inspired by advanced armor shielding, the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G OC is flawless for gamers and case modders looking for something unique and different.
Folks at the Chinese website have reportedly got the GTX 1070 for reviewing and believe that the card has the potential to outperform the GTX 980Ti, thus making it an irresistible graphics card to those who can’t afford GTX 1080. Founders Edition cards peddled by Nvidia partners like EVGA, Asus, and Zotac were also showed as sold out immediately at Newegg and Best Buy. Corsair has been quite pleased with the collaboration, letting the two companies create the “fastest, coolest, quietest” card around.It should make for some high overclocks when you push the card and cooler to its limit.

Moving on to the render output units (ROPs), the GTX 1080 Ti yet again holds a significant advantage over the GTX 1080 as the former offers 96 to the latter’s 64. The regular AMP card wears an IceStorm dual-fan cooler, while the AMP Extreme is a bit larger, and has a triple-fan cooler. Like the rest of the Strix line, the ROG Strix GTX 1080 is focused on silent running. The most interesting of the new designs is the GTX 1080 Sea Hawk, which includes a closed-loop liquid cooler alongside a rear-exhaust radial fan. Expect to see these on (r)etail shelves soon.
