Msi GTX1080 30th Anniversary Edition

[NumLock21]

It's going to be a limited edition card.

This looks way better than the last iteration of the lightning series (GTX 980 Lightning) IMO. The Waterblock is also one of the sexiest I've seen.

DP is still expensive and those who can get a Fury X won't mind spending the premium on a monitor with a DisplayPort connector. Cheapest monitor only comes with VGA, spend a bit more and it comes with DVI and VGA, Pay a more top of that, then you get DVI, VGA, and HDMI.

A DP to DVI or HDMI cable cost the same as a standard DVI or HDMI cable, and AMD cards have phased out analog video for a the past few generations. also i have not see a monitor with out a digital port for a long time.

DVI is a digital connector.

you mentioned VGA, and DVI can output analog too. but as stated almost any monitor with a digital input can be run passively from DP can cables cost the same. I don't see how its more expensive. I dont see why DVI should still be a standard connector on GPU's I think only a few sku's should have it for the rare cases.

 

DP can support DVI and HDMI signals, and can power 4 1080p monitors per port, and carries audio.

I mentioned cheapest monitor will only come with a VGA port. Spend a bit more and you both VGA and DVI. Spend a bit more top of that, then you will get VGA, DVI, and HDMI.

I don't see the issue. a $5 DP to DVI cable will work with those.

 

to clarify I am talking about not have DVI on GPU's only.

GPU will need to have a DP connector and cheap GPUs don't have them.

ok but were talking about $200+ cards here, both 470 and up and 1060 and up have 3 DP and HDMI, ect. I think they should not put the DVI on it by default, and make it optional like how AMD did the 480.

It is not needed and I want to see single slot I/O, like the 400's and fury line.

[Tech Inquisition]

OMG... I so want this...

 

Especially since Nvidia ANZ can't get their mind made up on when the hell the Pascal Titan X will be available down under... and similarly EVGA can't get the FTX Hybrid here in stock.

I wish companies would realize most people don't put these in benches as permanent homes, and would place the images on the coolers the other way around so they look normal in a computer case. FFS.

It has the logo on the other side

Even still, if you rotate the board to be upright like inside a case, what will be displayed on top is going to be unreadable. It looks dumb as hell.

Edit: Okay, the black side would be right side up. This is better than nothing, I guess. Most cards do it wrong on both sides. I guess I would prefer to view the "front" plate, vs. the backplate.

Should be a 240mm option because you know for the banter.

[Ubleron]

I thought porn is not acceptable here...Speaking seriously, I doubt I could afford the card right now, but is it possible to buy it later just the water-block version? Without pump and loop?

[Clanscorpia]

That looks amazing!

Oh right that one, somehow 30 anniversary edition looks better, but you're right its basically the same.

[VinsinityKT]

Dang but I want Evga for their support. Not sure about MSI

[Raijin]

Are there any  benchmarks?

I most probably will put it in my first gaming Pc I'll make.

What is the thickness of the radiator and pump?( I wanna know if I can fit it in the corsair 760t with h115i CPU cooler)

Here some more info from EK,

https://www.ekwb.com/news/limited-edition-msi-geforce-gtx-1080-30th-anniversary-graphics-card/

There running a 120mm AIO radiator which is not available to purchase. 140mm is as small as they go in there AIO.

[Mobilevortex]

If this had quick disconnects it would be perfect. IMO EK should offer quick disconnects on all of the Predator AIOs.
