Asus gtx 1080 strix with rgb lights

Many of you realize that last Friday the first reference GTX 1080 were put on sale under reservation and the first personalized graphics cards are already beginning to show their heads. From the official Asus twitter they have uploaded an image where we can see some details of the new design of the Asus GTX 1080 Strix.

Asus GTX 1080 Strix with custom lighting

The images are not at all clear but we intuit that it will have a design similar to that of the GTX 980 Ti Strix that we analyzed in its day but with an RGB lighting system, customizable with 16 million colors in the most AURA style.

As expected, it will have the new Pascal GP104 chip manufactured by TSMC and in a manufacturing process of 16nm FinFET + along with 8 GB of GDDR5X memory at 10 Ghz effective. and a 256-bit bus . Will you have one or two PCI Express connections? We intuit that it will have 2 connections and that its possibility of overclocking will be very interesting, since it can easily reach 2300 or 2400 GHz.

It has also been confirmed that the GTX 1070 will have the same heatsink! So we will see what is possibly the best-selling model this year with one of the best graphics card heatsinks (incorporates backplate).
