What customers say about "Key Specs"

ASUS Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Strix A8G Graphics Card (GAMING 8 GB GDDR5) - Black

Very impressed. Paired with an i7 4770k (oc'ed to 4.1), this breezers through Doom 2016 with all settings on ultra, smooth and fast. It looks stunning.
Great card, fast enough to handle anything at 1080p (overkill for it, in fact). Runs very cool at 1080, no louder than my old 960.
Courier was fast, and well packed, The Graphic is well built, at the 1st reboot was a terrible noise, but after 3 posts its working fine,
Fast card, looks great and it can handle everything I have thrown at it so far.
Very fast and quiet. I am very happy with this card.

I bought this item and first time it came with faulty ram which only clocked at idle speeds and wouldn't come out of idle received replacement 2 days after and works perfect overall good
This card is incredible I probably just got lucky but I managed to OC mine to 2025Mhz stable and it runs incredibly quietly(however loud when you crank up the fan speed)
The video card itself performs great, just as you would expect from a GTX 1080.
Good GPU. I was a little disappointed on the overclock though. Maybe I was not lucky on the silicon lottery but the clock speed it reached was way lower than any other review I saw online.
Great card, has been working awesome for me since I got it. Recently there is some weirdness with the clocking numbers for the memory on OC not matching the specs but I am able to manually adjust to the specs and it seems fine.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Strix A8G Graphics Card (GAMING 8 GB GDDR5) - Black

The card is well built, the built in fan is quiet and keeps the card cool. I won't be upgrading anytime soon.
At current prices I would look at a dual fan OC card but at RRP this GPU is a worthy buy.
This card is also really quite and the fans also stop when its not needed.
Excellent low fan noise, only thing i don't get is the Cable adapter 12 pin to to 8 pin, is this overload? As in i have enough 8x4 8 pin adapters
Quality GPU with great fan longevity. The bearings in these things seem immortal. Good core and clock speed boosts and respectable OC.

I personally went with the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming due to better numbers and the extra features like PCB coating and Titan X(p) grade chokes and capacitors.
I'm driving three 27" 1920x1080p monitors via Nvidia's 3D Surround technology and I still get amazing frame rates in all the games I play.
The GeForce 1080 GTX is based on pascal technology which means, in laymen terms, it's ALOT FASTER than anything else on the market at the price point.
Custom cards from partners will run much much cooler and will be factory overclocked.
Extremely fast and quiet. Upgraded from a gtx 680. Actually runs cooler too. Can't complain here, it's been several months and still runs like a champ.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Strix A8G Graphics Card (GAMING 8 GB GDDR5) - Black

This card was chosen for for its two hdmi outlets, which will be connected to 32 inch external monitors, the DVI connector running the main monitor in ultrahd mode.
Installation was uneventful (a good thing!) and simple. Simply slot it in screw it in place, connect it to an 8 pin and you're done.
Connecting the power cables could be made easier too.
Great product but I thought It would come with an 8-pin PCI-E adapter to connect to the power supply
Easy to install, only 1 power connection needed. It's a relatively small size so easy to fit although it's snug to my large cooler.

A feature i found that is little known is that if you use a DVI to HDMI adapter on the card's DVI port it still supports 8 channel audio at 48Khz.
It's connected to a Samsung 65" 4k TV. I play StarCraft 2 and World of Warcraft and FPS at 60hz is well into the 100's with high graphics settings.
This way you can connect up a stereo 8 speaker system directly and use the actual HDMI port for the TV. Seems to work the best for me.
Obvious problems with the card as confirmed by other reviewers. DVI-D connection will not connect to my monitor. HDMI works fine for connection to tv however I get no signal from the DVI-D.
Incredible performance, but unnacceptable connectivity issues.
