Review on GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Mini ITX Graphics Card
2 min readGood day to all readers of the review. The map in the photo looks like this:
From different angles:
So, from the side of the connectors:
The card has one HDMI connector, one DVI connector and three DisplayPort connectors. The choice to connect is great. Compact size. The video card is 17 centimeters long. The cooling system includes one fan with a diameter of 9 centimeters. Very quiet. Three copper tubes remove heat from the GPU. The temperature of the components of the card reaches 73 degrees. The higher the temperature, the lower the reliability.
The video card is packed in this box:
The box protects the card very well from mechanical damage. The video card was in this package:
Metallization of the package protects against static electricity. The GPU-Z program displays the following data on the video card:
The GPU-Z program shows a memory frequency of 1251 MHz. On sites, the declared frequency is much higher. This is the so-called effective frequency. It is obtained by multiplying the real frequency by certain coefficients. Stated 10010 MHz. Memory bandwidth 320.32 GB per second. When checking with benchmark, we got the following data:
These parameters are provided by the GP104 video processor. The technological process is 16 nanometers. The nominal processor frequency is 1607 MHz. Overclocking 1734 MHz. In tests of the video card, the ryzen5 1400 processor and 8GB of RAM 2400 were used. With a more powerful processor and larger memory sizes, the numbers would be larger. In the tests of the card for prolonged operation under load, there were no failures, but it warmed up strongly. This was noticeable even without measuring the temperature.
The year of issue of the card is 2016. Already at that time, it was possible to place 7200 M transistors on a crystal measuring 314 square millimeters. There are 2560 conveyor processors, 64 rasterization units and 160 texturing units on the chip.
In general, I liked the map. I especially want to note its small overall dimensions of the mini itx format. High quality assembled. The company has been operating in the market of computer components for a long time and inspires confidence. Recent drivers have given the card the ability to use ray tracing. There is a good guarantee from the manufacturer of the video card – Gigabyte company.
