ZOTAC Teases its GeForce GTX 1080 PGF Graphics Card

ZOTAC teased its GeForce GTX 1080 PGF non-reference design graphics card. Built on a custom-design PCB, the card goes big on multi-color LED lighting along not just its top, but also along edges of its acrylic-based back-plate, which looks like a neon strip along its edges. These cards are expected to be factory-overclocked, and ZOTAC appears to be using a 6+8 pin PCIe power connector layout, compared to a single 8-pin on the reference "Founders Edition" card. From the looks of the tantalum multi-phase capacitor sticking out through the back-plate, ZOTAC could be giving this card a strong VRM area.

I think that looks sweet! But I personally like having LED's on my card and being able to adjust the color :P

Wonder how the PCB is different and how this effects the overclock ability this round on the GPU?

I wouldn't think an acrylic back plate would dissipate any heat though, in fact wouldn't it trap heat?

In an inverted ATX case like the Corsair 600C you have the problem that you can't really see the backplate, only the edge of it (but depends on position of the card, 1st slot like I said).

I've always had good experience with Zotac cards. I'm not a big fan of LEDs on or in my case - something like this would be a waste for me. Looks intriguing, but not something I'd stick in my tower.

Wait for the Zotac HB bridge complete with matching LED's at only twice the price.
