Tough.

I've always loved these cards, same with the Lightning and KingPin.

Hopefully it's not limited to 1,1V on GPU core.

Would be interesting to see what OC we could get from pushing 1,4V on GPU core like this one

If this isn't stuck at 1.093v like my 1080FTW is, its an instant buy for me. 

The voltage range is limitation on Nvidia's part,  not on the part of galax or evga. It's simply so they don't have to deal with the increased RMA rates on factory overvolted cards

Does the special edition of this card also come with that crown, you can wear on your head, and lights up when you're playing games?

That crown also reminds me of this.

I stand by my 450w number. If they only expected 375w max they would have put a six pin(75w). Instead they put an 8-pin which leads me to think that they believed that a 6-pin would be insufficient, and therefore that the card would draw over 450w (150 + 150 + 75 + 75), at least in some senario. So they added some insurance wattage which allows for up to 525w, but that will probably not happen.

Hm...

True.

I stand corrected.

North of 375 Watts....

2 8-pins = 300W

PCI-e Slot = 75W

 

the moment a card draws 376W, it needs more than 2 8-pins.

PCI-e slot is 75w stable.

PCI-e 2.0 is 150w stable.

Seriously...I was so disappointed to see 1.093v was the limit on my 1080FTW....I have 3 360s in push pull Nvidia....she'll take it.

PCI-e 2.0 is 150w stable.

but GPUs are designed to also work with PCIe 1.0

and also manufacturers don't want too much stress on the PCIe slot.

 

also I'm not even sure if that's correct. source?

This is simply not true. PCI-SIG still explicitly states that slot power is 75w, even on PCIe 3.0. We are talking 5.5A at 12V, meaning 66w during initialization, and 75w (6.25A @ 12V) after it's fully initialized as a "high power device".

If they really make a HOF Edition, I'm putting a 1080 Ti in my AG and selling my other one, and buying two.  I'll probably need a more powerful PSU too...looks like two HOF cards+a 6850K will cream a 1000w PSU.

I just find it ironic that nobody gives Nvidia cards, even aftermarket, crap for high TDPs.

 

On a side note, I am curious of the OC capabilities of this thing.

Probably because people who buy the ultra-high end cards don't care about TDP's? Besides, TDP's are simply used for you to know what kind of cooling is required to take care of it. Aftermarket cards (or even custom loops) are capable of handling that just fine.

 

I'd worry more about Pascal's inability to scale with voltage.

because the TDP is probably onlymarginally higher

I really don't like HoF cards because I'm not into this kind of exaggeration, for the likely cost of one I would rather buy the TITAN Xp

Aren't they the ones who used those ugly flat top clowns as the mascot for the first 2 cards they made?

Yes that was GALAX alright, funny trivia: when I was shopping for my GPU I almost bought one of those, a Galax Blower GTX 1080... the person was selling it with 1 month use for the price of the 1070, I really thought it would be a great deal but the card just so damn ugly due to the clown...

 

In the end I bought the Maxwell TITAN X for the price the GTX 1060 6gb back in the day and end up with the performance of a stock 1080 after overclocking so yeah I end up winning even more so I suppose I am grateful that 1080 was ugly as shit.

 

here's it:

PCIe allows for 75W maximum to be drawn for all three generations per slot.

The only thing this card is useful for is maybe LN2. Other than that, a 16+3 phase/ 3 8-pins aren't gonna do jack with Pascals limitations. You'd be better off buying a FE card and water cooling it.

It's a HOF card. 

 

It wouldn't be up to much anyway lol. 

[TheRandomness]

8 phase core VRMs with doublers, and 3 for the memory.. well that's alright.

[sazrocks]

Inb4 LTT makes another compensator with 4 of these and they Austin two 1500W power supplies together to make it work.

The bit you quoted states

Also, both articles linked name three 8-pin connectors.

all they are saying is that it may not pull 450W
