Never ever going blower style again. Absolutely horrible. I'll wait for EVGA to release the ACX 3.0 or FTW/+. Give me an 8+6 or 8+8 pin EVGA card with great cooling and I'll be golden. B|

Can't seem to make out how many power connectors any of these have :(

 

C-Mon dual 8-pin for maximum overclocking!

Judging by the pictures of the card found in the OP's sources the Galax 1080 only has a single 8-pin. The Zotac card seems to have an 8+6 pin judging by the pin layout on the back of the board as seen in their promotional picture.

Even though the FE can't maintain it's boost clock because it thermal throttles... (Goes down to 1607 at 85 C)

As I said, these are the cards people install water blocks on.

Ye ole' train

If you go to the actual article there are 4 different cards. Hard to tell for any of them. I'm just hoping EVGA comes out with a Classified 1080 in the near-ish future.

I've edited my post to further clarify them.

All the people complaining about the looks of a card. LOL you guys are the reason Nvidia can get away with charging $100 extra for their garbage NVTTM cooler.

Seeing how ALL currently announced GeForce 1080/1070 cards look, I think the founder edition is pretty good choice with its premium price.

But I think the real reason is that  manufactures keep their nice cooler on models that they plane on selling at around the same as the Founder Edition.

 

So really, the only people that benefits from the lower priced models are:

 -> People that just don't care

 -> Water cooling (as they don't care, they'll put their water block).

 

watercooling people do care because if it has a cheap ass cooler the card was never made to OC properly and most likely has only basic materials used on it.

why would anyone put a waterblock on a cheap card with shitty power delivery and bad materials

I bought two 980ti's reference models for the lowest price I could find. They OC'd to 1500Mhz on water. My friend put his G1 gaming gigabyte under water, that was £100 more than mine and you know what he got? He got 1510Mhz. I think the extra £100 justifies the 10Mhz clock bump!

I hope AMD doesn't try this shady business model

silicon lottery has nothing to do with materials and power delivery. In this case the card has the cheapest pcb and only 1 8pin for power. you reach that limit on the blower cooler so why would you put it on water.

As soon as the 1080 comes out, I'm getting the cheapest model I can get my hands on and I'm going to watercool it. I can guarantee you that I will reach similar clock speeds of those who buy custom PCB blablabla if they did it on water. Same thing happened with Kepler and same thing happened with Maxwell. We will see if Pascal is any different.

kepler and maxwell didn't throttle like a bitch nor did they have the minimum power input required.

Dude, what are you on about? xD Your post are making no sense to me? So you are implying that Pascal will throttle like a bitch?

what did you expect when nVidia placed their FE price above the MSRP? how would you expected AIBs to compete? by releasing cards with shitty coolers

It does throttle but under it's own conditions it's not that much. Only about 10%. That's not throttling like a bitch.

it thermal throttles and power throttles in an open case. imagine in a normal case.

And how do you know it's bad? It's ugly alright, but for all we know it could be better than the FE cooler, and frankly I'm not sure how it could be worse. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

because any other AIB that put a blower type cooler on the cards didn't do a better job

remember the Gainward one? utter shit

Apparently it throttles down to stock clock, completely eliminating the boost clock, within 10 minutes of gaming. On an open test bench.

 

edit: oops, multiquote done fucked up :(

Remember the Asus 970 Turbo? Dual intake or not, blower that was better than reference. 

And please, don't pull Gainward in this, I've only had bad experiences with them. I'd like to forget about them. :(
