GTX 1080 Ti Custom Models Continued (GALAX/Colorful/Inno3D/Gainward/Palit/PNY)
GALAX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Custom Models
GALAX will have three custom models added to their GTX 1080 Ti family. Two models make use of the reference PCB design while the HOF variant will be using a high-end PCB geared for LN2 and extreme levels of overclocking.
GALAX/KFA2 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti HOF OC Edition (Webpage Link)
GALAX has not yet announced their GeForce GTX 1080 HOF OC edition graphics card but they are teasing it on their Facebook page. The model will be a dual slot, triple fan design featuring the extended PCB lay-out, allowing for premium components to be used on the PCB. The card will feature a factory overclock and will be powered by dual 8-Pin connectors.
The design scheme of the card being teased by GALAX is very unique as we can see that the middle fan has the HOF logo on its outskirts that emit white LED which goes in line with the white color scheme of the card. GALAX is known to use white colored PCBs on their HOF cards and this would be no exception. Both PCB and cooler will be using a white color scheme and the triple fan cooler will provide ample cooling potential for this beast. Expect pricing of this card around $799 US.
GALAX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti EXOC Black Edition (Webpage Link)
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti EXOC Black edition will be featuring a factory overclocked design on the reference Founders Edition PCB. It will come with better cooling potential thanks to the solid EXOC cooler that is embedded on it. This card will feature clock speeds of 1531 MHz base and 1645 MHz boost while the memory will be clocked at the reference 11 Gbps speeds.
The cooler is a dual slot, dual fan design and comes with a black colored, metallic shroud with some very aggressive aesthetics. The heatsink is fitted with 5 copper heat pipes that run through a bulky aluminum fin array heatblock. The two fans push air towards the heatsink to cool down the heat. EXOC designs also come with a custom backplate that adds extra durability to the board. The PCB itself is made up of 12 layers and houses a 7-Phase Dual FET design. Card is powered by a 8+6 Pin configuration and would be priced close to the $719 US mark.
GALAX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Blower Edition (Webpage Link) - $699.99 US
Lastly, we have GALAX's reference GTX 1080 Ti model. The design of this card is very simple since it’s a reference model. We are looking at a Founders Edition PCB so a 7+1 Phase DualFET layout is expected. It will be retailing at $699 US.
While it does come with a standard Founders Edition PCB, we should note that NVIDIA made the stock PCB to hit some extreme overclocks. Overclockers have already managed to break 3 GHz barrier with reference 1080 Ti cards so this model would be able to carry an overclock of 2.0 GHz+ with ease. The blower edition will be shipping with standard clock speeds of 1480 MHz base and 1582 MHz boost at launch. The card will also be powered by a 8+6 Pin connector configuration.

The Colorful iGame GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Vulkan X OC is a beast of a card. It comes with an impressive cooling system and a monster PCB design. We are looking at a triple fan design and most probably, it will have a triple slot height too.
We don't have an exact word on the clock speeds but expect factory overclock out of box hitting the 1.7 GHz+ mark. So talking about the card itself, Colorful is using their latest Shark Bionics cooling system that rocks three 92mm fans on a very aggressively designed cooler shroud. The whole thing features a sleek metallic shroud that is fitted with multiple LEDs that glow in red color. There's a Colorful iGame logo on the back whick should also be emitting LED light.
The whole cooling assembly looks great and the cooler shroud further comes with a LCD panel on the side that displays GPU specific information like GPU usage, clock speeds and temperatures. For power, we are looking at dual 8-Pin connectors. The PCB is a beast in itself and is made up of 16+2 phases that means we can expect some big overclocks out of this bad boy. Expect pricing of this card to be above $799 US.
