ASUS, Gigabyte and Inno3D Tease Their Next-Gen GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 Custom Models

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 will be available for sale next week through retail stores but it has already went on pre-order. According to a report by Eteknix, the Pre-Orders for the GeForce GTX 1080 sold out in just a few minutes. The sheer demand of the graphics card led Amazon, Newegg and Bestbuy to close their Pre-Orders for the GTX 1080 graphics cards. As of right now, the graphics card is listed as out of stock.

The ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 Custom Models Will Feature RGB Lit Shrouds!

This isn't surprising as the GeForce GTX 1080 received many positive reviews a few days ago as it is the fastest single chip based graphics card available right now. While the reference GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition is coming at a price of $699 US, the custom models will be starting from a MSRP of $599 US and featuring all the way from custom PCBs to air and water cooled designs. Some of these models have been teased by the board partners of NVIDIA which can be seen below.

ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 - DirectCU IV With RGB Lightning?

The first teaser is from ASUS who have posted a picture of what definitely looks like the next DirectCU cooler. The GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 from ASUS will be featuring this cooler which has a triple fan design and a beefy PCB that features ASUS's Auto Extreme technology (high quality components). The card will be able to achieve much higher overclocks compared to reference variants and will do so while running much cooler and quieter. We can't wait to see this cooler deployed on NVIDIA's latest Pascal based graphics cards.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming With WindForce Coolers

Gigabyte also teased their GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming graphics card a while ago. Gigabyte is the only brand that has mentioned a June launch date for their graphics card which means that this will be shown off over at Computex 2016. The Gigabyte GeForce 10 series cards with Xtreme Gaming solutions will feature the WindForce 3X cooler which is a beefy design that does its job well. Gigabyte will also built their own custom PCBs for this card to deliver better overclocking.

Inno3D iChill Accelero X4 Based GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 With Custom PCBs

Inno3D also posted their iChill X4 cooling solution and teased the upcoming GeForce 10 series using them on their Facebook page. These cards will be insane with a powerful PCB that delivers more power to the GPU and VRAM while delivering the best cooling performance with the beefy cooler.

Inno3D's HerculeZ X4 cooling and Active Power Cooling System will deliver the most desirable cooling to Pascal GPUs under load with massive overclocks. The card will also deploy a neat LED system on the shroud which looks impressive. You can learn more about the Inno3D iChill X4 solution here.
