NVIDIA's upcoming high-end graphics card, the GeForce GTX 1080, is dressing up for a June 2016 tentative launch. Its reference-design cooling solution is an evolution of NVIDIA's highly acclaimed NVTTM (NVIDIA time-to-market) cooling solution introduced with the GeForce GTX TITAN, spanning two generations of graphics cards (GTX 700 series and GTX 900 series). The design has more edges and lines, perhaps symbolizing the GPU's ability to deal with even more complex graphics. The cooler continues to be a lateral-blower type, which vents hot air from the rear panel. The cooler was first pictured by a worker at its aluminum milling line.

Well, that is more attractive with the edgy news of the cooler. I like this change, but I wonder what else has changed!

Who takes such pictures? Insiders from Nvidia who leaks photo's?

Usually companies - the owners of the product or co-workers. I more assume that product owners like:"Here's a leak. Please be hyped!"

P.S. The most important do not be a herd and think wisely when you pay your money for every product

As to the aesthetics on a scale of 1-5.
I'll be altruistic and give it a... 2

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Reference cards aren't made to look good... ;)

Can't say it looks bad though!

Sure you can. It does. More angles makes it more 80's.

Besides, coolers don't interest me for aesthetics - performance is number one, that's why I rip 'em off and plug in rubber tubes.

Just kidding, it looks OK for a reference cooler.

Loved the titan cooler and now this one is ever better GTX 1070 reference cooler is my next GPU or if I can grab a superb deal on a 2 GTX 970s with reference coolers and SLi them I may just do that I'll have to wait and see the performance difference between Maxwell and Pascal.
