A few weeks ago we had told you that Gigabyte was going to launch its custom graphics card, the Nvidia GTX 1080 Extreme Gaming. At that time Gigabyte played a bit of a mystery about how this new graphics card based on the new Nvidia GPU would look and showed a preliminary design, finally with this official image it is confirmed that the design will not be what was originally shown and that important changes have been made.

Current design of the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Extreme Gaming

In a first official image provided by the people at Videocardz, it can be seen that the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Extreme Gaming will use a three-fan cooling system and X-shaped LED lighting, something that seems to be becoming common, as is the case of the future GTX 1080 Strix from ASUS, which will also bet on LED lighting.

With this model of the GTX 1080 Extreme Gaming, Gigabyte abandons the Triple WindForce cooling design that has been accompanying the company's graphics for the past 4 years and now offers three heatsinks with the middle one covered by an X illuminated by LED and slightly sunken with respect to the remaining two. In this way they manage to include the three large fans when they could only have included two due to space restrictions.

Previous model shown by Gigabyte

This new Gigabyte GTX 1080 Extreme Gaming graphics card will go on sale next month and be unveiled at Computex in Taiwan on the first of that month. At the moment the own characteristics that this personalized version of Gigabyte will have, that is to say, frequencies of the GPU, memories, etc., and above all the starting price, are not known.
