Just a few hours after we had a chance to check out the GP104-200 GPU, a leak also showed the GP104-400 GPU with GDDR5X memory, which should be the heart of the upcoming GTX 1080 graphics card.

A newest leak from Wccftech.com shows the fully-enabled GP104 GPU which should be the heart of the GTX 1080 graphics card and although it looks exactly as the GP104-200 pictured earlier, it is surrounded by eight Micron GDDR5X 6GA77 Z9TXT memory modules. Bear in mind that Pascal GPU supports both GDDR5, GDDR5X as well as HBM2 memory.

The GDDR5X chip is slightly smaller at 14x10mm, compared to the GDDR5 which is about 14x12mm and although the codename from the chip is not listed online, it is possibly the same chip that Micron has started sampling last month.

According to Videocardz.com, the pictured part of the PCB with the GPU and memory chips, lines up perfectly with MSI's custom GTX 980 Gaming PCB, which means that the GPU is already in hands of Nvidia AIB partners and should be ready for the rumored Computex 2016 launch.

The GDDR5X memory, paired up with the 256-bit memory interface, will give the GTX 1080 a higher bandwidth of up to 384GB/s. The 16nm GP104 Pascal GPU is expected to pack around 2560 CUDA cores and require a single 8-pin PCI-Express power connector.

All we need now is to see some performance numbers and judging by these leaks, we suspect that we will not wait too long for those.
