Gigabyte announces the 169mm long gtx 1080 mini itx

Gigabyte has announced the new GTX 1080 Mini ITX graphics card, the smallest yet and ready for mini-ITX teams that need the most powerful card on the market in a smaller format.

This is the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Mini ITX

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Mini ITX only measures 169mm, being even smaller than the ZOTAC GTX 1080 Mini that was announced in December, which measures 211mm. This was possible because Gigabyte only uses one fan for cooling.

The best graphics cards on the market

This is a huge engineering achievement by Gigabyte, as no graphics card features have been trimmed compared to Nvidia's reference version, with a base frequency of 1607MHz and 1733MHz in OC mode.

Gigabyte GTX 1080 Mini ITX has a 90mm semi-passive fan (switched off under certain loads or temperatures), a triple thermal tube cooling solution and a 5 + 2 power phase. To power the card, it has a single 8-pin connector that is unique on top
