ASUS has announced their value-oriented GTX 1080 Turbo GPU, which features a custom PCB and an integrated 4-pin fan header.

This new GPU will come in with the same stock clock speeds and a similar cooling design to the GTX 1080 Founders Edition, but offer an improved PCB design and an enhanced feature set at a lower pricepoint. The traditional Green Geforce Logo has been replaced by a white illuminated ASUS logo, which ASUS say can be replaced with your own custom plate

The traditional Green Geforce Logo has been replaced by a white illuminated ASUS logo, which ASUS say can be replaced with your own custom plate design to give your GPU a unique look.

This GPU will feature the same rear IO design as the ASUS GTX 1080 Gaming Strix, offering dual HDMI 2.0b outputs, Dual DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 ports and a single DVI port. This should be enough for most monitor configurations, though the lack of a third DisplayPort will annoy those who use triple G-Sync monitor setups.

This GPU will be built using ASUS' Auto-Extreme technology, meaning that this motherboard is made entirely by machine, which leaves no room for defects during production. This makes this GPU more reliable and consistent than previous GPU manufacturing techniques and has already caused ASUS' RMA rate to drop significantly with last generation products.

Right now the final pricing of this GPU is unknown, but it is expected to be cheaper than both the GTX 1080 Strix Gaming and the GTX 1080 Founders Edition and ship by the end of the month.

That card looks neat, if the cooler is quiet and handles stock clocks well i'd be interested in a 1070 equivalent.Quote

The cooler is brlliant for such a simple change. Ive got a 970 turbo and the dual sided inlet lowers both the volume and pitch of the centrifugal fan. Its so quiet i cant really ever hear it in my htpc. Ive been thinking of cutting out the grid pattern on the IO plate. It would be cool it it were a factory removable plate that was seperate from the part surrounding the connectors.Quote

Hopefully it will be a reference board layout and just uses different components OR at least has a waterblock made for it etc.Quote

4x longer lifespan? Have they torture tested it to prove that or is that theorycrafting?

Sounds like the turbo doesn't turbo and just stays at the stock clocks to me...Quote

It took 4x the baseball bat hits.

The name is a bit misleading, but hey, if it's cheap and quiet i'll be happy.Quote
