why is the KFA2 gtx 1080 exoc not popular ?

[Mlo___]

it's strange because the KFA2 exoc gtx 1080 costs as much as the msi gtx 1070 (500 euro in my country), but I don't know any benchmarks of the KFA gtx, there is not a single video about it, is it normal the a 1080 costs as much as a 1070 from msi ?

That was a hard card to find information on, all I found was a french video which I do not speak, but from seeing the benchmarks it looks like it is on par with other 1080's, it isn't overclocked (or it isn't overclocked well) but price to performance it seems like a good deal. I would be cautious though since it is not from one of the popular brands.

Remember, sometimes you get what you pay for...
trying to save a hundred euros or so now may cost you later.

that is a brand name that is seldom heard of that's why

KFA2 are a part of Galaxy IIRC, they have a thing for white PCB's and have been around for ages.

KFA2 or Galax or Galaxy is not known as independent brand.
The company built already tons of GPUs for Dell, HP, etc. for years but as independent brand? The company is relatively new.

I had 2x KFA2 GTX970 EXOCs on SLI and have a GTX1080 EXOC in the moment.
KFA2 cards are cheap and good...and can go quite high on OC.
KFA2cards are cool (not the coolest) and a bit loud (compared to ASUS Strix) but can really go high and stable on OC.
Yes, I OCed the already OCed 970 EXOCs. I haven't OCed my GTX1080 EXOC yet, since it is still more than sufficient for me as it is.
KFA2 is one of my favorite brand in the last 2-3 years.

BTW, if someone intersted on €498 GTX1080

They are a good brand, well respected by OverclockersUK. They were one of the only ones who would guarantee no coil whine.

so for example, buying a KFA2 1080 exoc is a better deal than buying any other 1080 looking at the performance/price ?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah especially if the price is good.
