Gigabyte announce enhanced GTX 1080 and 1060 variants
Gigabyte has now announce enhanced GTX 1080 and 1060 variants, both of which offer memory clock speeds that are 1000MHz higher than their standard/reference counterparts.
This will give these new GTX 1080 a 10% boost in memory bandwidth and give the GTX 1060 a 12.5% boost in memory bandwidth. combine these changed with strong factory overclocks and gamers will receive a large increase in GPU performance when compared to Nvidia’s reference GPU designs.
