Gigabyte has officially announced its new Geforce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming graphics card revealing a bit more details, including a fully-custom high-end PCB, impressive factory overclock and an ability to hit 2.3GHz OC for the GPU.

In order to make the GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming one of the best GTX 1080 graphics cards on the market, Gigabyte opted for a custom high-end PCB with dust, moisture and corrosion resistance, chokes and capacitors that were used on Titan X and 12+2-phase VRM, which should provide enough power for some extreme overclocking.

The GP104 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores, which is liquid cooled on the GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming, is overclocked to 1936MHz while 8GB of GDDR5X memory was pushed to 10.4GHz. According to Gigabyte, the new GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming should quite easily hit 2.3GHz for the GPU, which is really an impressive number.

As noted, it comes with a full-cover AiO liquid cooling with 120mm radiator, where the water block covers the GPU, RAM and the high-end VRM part. It also comes with a metal backplate that should keep it from bending.

As the Virtual Reality is the next big thing, Gigabyte equipped the GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming with usual three DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and DVI output as well as a custom front VR panel, which provides two extra HDMI ports for VR headsets.

According to various reports, the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming should be priced somewhere around US $749 but since GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 are already hard to be found, we suspect that GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming will also have a limited supply.
