Gigabyte geforce gtx 1080 tt with turbine heatsink

Announced the new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 TT graphics card (GV-N1080TTOC-8GD), a special model that is mainly characterized by making use of a turbine-type cooling system like the reference cards.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 TT features

Turbine heatsinks are less efficient than systems with axial fans but they have an important advantage, turbines are more effective in expelling the heat generated outside our PC. This is especially important in SLI configurations as we prevent the second card from eating up all the heat from the first.

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 TT mounts the new WindForce Turbo Fan heatsink in which a small turbine fan is responsible for offering the necessary air flow to expel the generated heat. Gigabyte claims that its WindForce Turbo Fan includes advanced elements of its WindForce heatsinks, an aluminum radiator pierced by three copper heatpipes with a thickness of 6 mm is supposed to be hidden under the housing, this means a much more complex and efficient design than the Founders Edition card heatsink that does not have heatpipes. The heatsink is completed with an aluminum plate that is responsible for adequately cooling the different memory chips and the VRM components of the card.

Beyond the heatsink we have no news with a GPU GP104-400 that is manufactured in the 16nm FinFET of TSMC and that has a total of 2560 CUDA Cores, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs at Base / Turbo frequencies of 1657/1797 MHz. Together with the GPU we find a total of 8 GB of GDDR5X memory at a frequency of 10 GHz with a 256-bit interface and a bandwidth of 320 GB / s. The card is powered by a single 8-pin PCI-Express connector.
