Gtx 1080: will release new heatsink (confirmed)

Yesterday we got to know for the first time the performance of Nvidia's new graphics card, the GTX 1080 based on the recent Pascal core, a GPU that Nvidia has been working on for two years.

At this time the leaks do not stop falling and among them we can already know what will be the appearance, not only the Nvidia GTX 1080 but also its younger sister the GTX 1070, thanks to the images provided by the anglo videocardz website.

The captures of the new Nvidia GTX 1080/1070 graphics cards reveal not only the appearance of the case but also the materials that will be used for the heat dissipation that these new cards will generate, aluminum and copper. as usual, the usual materials but used in a different way this time.

GTX 1080 with "polygonal" design dissipation

According to what the Videocardz website comments, the cooler that the new Nvidia graphics cards will use will use a "Polygonal" heatsink instead of the previous NVTTM design that was used in the GTX 980. The "polygonal" design of the new heatsink designed by Nvidia would be more effective in dissipating heat and therefore cooler than the previous generation of the green company, something that will remain to be seen when it is officially launched during the summer months.

Recall that the GTX 1080 will come with 8GB of GDDR5X memory at a frequency of 10GHz, this allows it to have a bandwidth of up to 320GB / s with a 256bit memory interface.
