They have a cool lap dog product. Check it out in the video description down below. Also, thank you to MSI. Their graphics card is actually in this roundup. So, basically everyone's aftermarket custom GTX 1080 was leaked before Computex. So, now that we're here in Taipei, there wasn't a ton to cover, especially because almost none of them actually released clock speeds. Talking about graphics cards without being able to talk about how fast they are is rather boring. So, what we're going to do is like a graphics card gauntlet. We're going to go through every single manufacturer that I could find at Computex that had a custom GTX 1080 and cover what I found to be their main card. I'm not going to do things that are two and a half slots. I'm not going to do things that are three slots. Just going to focus on their main specifically two slot card. So, let's go. So, the first card we're going to check out is the ASUS ROG Stricks. This is an RGB card. So, it is compatible with the Aura system of ASUS products. So, you can have it match the different colors of all the different components in your system, which is pretty sweet. It features a direct CU3 cooler other than obviously the RGB changes. And it has a boost clock of 1936 MHz for the core and a 10,000 MHz clock for the memory. It has one eightpin PCIe power connector and one six pin PCIe power connector. and a really cool new feature on the end of the card, which is two four pin fan headers. So, you can plug system fans into this thing and have the system fans react based on the graphics card's temperature instead of traditionally the CPU's temperature, which is actually probably a lot more helpful considering how people use all-in-one coolers and stuff nowadays. As expected, Windforce has returned in the form of a G1 gaming graphics card from Gigabyte, but it doesn't say Windforce anywhere on it. Never fear, it's still a Windforce card. There's just been some branding changes. The G1 Gaming has RGB LEDs on it, 16.8 million colors, but it does have some orange accents, although they are under the card in an area that most people won't see, so it might be okay in your case. There was also a bold move taken by only putting one eightpin power connector where a lot of the other guys are putting two. We'll have to see later on if that actually makes a difference in overclocking. We'll see with OC scanner and stuff. It might. Stay tuned for a video on overclocking GTX 1080s. Other than that, it is a little bit more reserved than some of the other cars we've seen at the show, but that might be fine. That might be what you're going for. Next up is MSI's Gaming X8G. It features a Twin Frozer 6 cooler, which has some differences in terms of the heat pipes. It has one 8mm heat pipe and five 6 mm heat pipes that feature a new flat off squared design near the block, so that it should have more surface area connection there. And it has new fins, which are slightly more curved as they go out on half of them. This card is clocked on the core at 1847 MHz and on the memory at 10,18.

It has a turbo when you engage the button that is on the IO plate of up to 1847 MHz. and other than that has RGB lighting, a triple fan cooler, and a pretty cool looking backlight plate. Below those fans, there's a 1 mm copper plate to transfer heat from the GPU up into the heat pipes. In terms of power, there's two 8pin PCIe power connectors, giving you a total of 300 W for the card. Next up is Galax with their EXOC GTX 1080. It has two fans, both of which are 100 mm.

Hopefully, you guys will be able to find out in the next coming weeks as these cards are coming out pretty soon. All right, guys. Thanks for watching. Hopefully that roundup wasn't too crazy. It was pretty rapid fire. So, if I skimmed over something too much, like say a last generation cooler that's on a new GTX 1080, just check out the review of that card from the previous generation. We should cover the cooler quite a bit. It should give you a good representation of it. We should be getting more in-depth coverage of these cards as they show up in the office, including clock speeds and performance and all that kind of stuff. So, stay tuned for that. Thank you to Corsair for bringing us here to Computex. Check out their lap dog in the video description down below. It lets you use a full-size keyboard and mouse to play games on the couch on your TV. Pretty cool setup. Also, thank you to MSI.
