Hardware Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 Mini Review

That's quite impressive, although I'd be more impressed if the PCB didn't rise above the PCI bracket.

 

I still cannot justify paying nearly 600 quid for a graphics card for 1080p gaming. Which I'd assume the majority of us game on. But that is what it is, I like the smaller package to fit my smaller-footprint mITX setup.

 

And so you shouldn't, I think I would cry if someone told me they used a 1080 for 1080P, I use mine for 1440P and its a sweet match

 

The 8-pin connector is top-mounted, which will need to be taken into account in cases that have tight heighT restrictions on cards, especially as the GTX 1080 Mini is already .......(?) quite tall (?)

 

Surely Zotac is the manufacturer?

 

I remember just after launch when you could still get 1080s for under £600

 

Yeah it's totally not a 1080p card. I'm still using a Fury X and Titan X (M) and have no real reason to upgrade (I use 1440p).

It's also totally not worth £600 either. That's why I still have a Fury X and Titan X (M) lol.

 

+1 above bracket height is becoming more important on small builds, especially if the power plugs from the top
