There's more to it than just raw speed, too. You get customizable lighting that includes color-shifting and patterns -- you can even have the lights pulse to your music if you want your PC to serve as a tiny disco. ASUS' mix of heatpipes and custom-shaped fans also promises a card that's 30 percent cooler and three times quieter than NVIDIA's stock hardware.

The best part may be the price. While NVIDIA's own GTX 1080 costs $699, the standard Strix will sell for $620; even the higher-clocked version costs $640. You could buy a brand new game with the price difference, folks. You'll likely have to wait until June 4th to get ASUS' card, but it'll probably be worth the wait if you're building a gaming rig that has to last for years.
