Hmm... 7 outputs. I wonder if it can actually drive all 7 outputs simultaneously?

Don't really see the point of these "extreme" versions nor the 6 different versions some manufacturers produce. They all perform the same due to power limits. Der8auer put a 2080 under dry ice with a power mod and got the card only up to 2340MHz with 50% more power at -70C. Less than 300 MHz more than an FE card. Seems the only reason to buy these extreme additions is to tell people you spent more. The 3 slot designs are ridiculous too for no tangible gain over a 2 slot founders edition.

So would selling a kidney give enough money to afford one of these?

And you have to add the fact, that turing doenst scale with voltage at all and either does it with low temperatures such as a watercooling loop. Turin under OC does behave like pascal: It scales great with reaallyy cold temperatures such as -70C. So it doenst matter if you GPU is running at 80 Degree with 1.03V or at 20 Degree C with 1.2V, there is probably a 50mhz difference for a huge amount of power consumption more 😀

Nope. In a video they said that you can use 3 DP, 1 HDMI and 1 USB C at the same time OR 3 HDMI, 1 DP and 1 USB C.

Just plain ugly.

Yay. Added plastic designed with boolean cuts in rhino 3d. Lol. Marketing garbage. Greedy Gigabyte and super greedy NVIDIA. Oink oink.

i am with kinggremlin. when i read "heavily engineered" i kind of anticipated performance gains through some kind of power mod or something. this is just boring and unnecessary.

What a beast!
<sob> No DVI-D 🙁
