ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X
Packing a full GTX 1080 chip with 8GB of GDDR5X memory into a compact 211mm dual-slot card makes it a standout for small-form-factor builds without sacrificing 4K gaming capability. The factory overclocked boost clock of 1759MHz and support for up to four displays offer strong versatility for multi-monitor setups. This card is best for mini-ITX system builders who want high-end 1440p performance in a space-constrained chassis.
