[LEAK] Nvidia Pascal GeForce GTX 1080 Pictures Leaked

A photograph showing Nvidia’s upcoming flagship Pascal GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card has just made its way to the web. It depicts a silver graphics card shroud, clearly bearing the Nvidia logo on the right and an engraved “GTX 1080” on the left. The allegedly new NVTTM cooler maintains the same familiar aesthetic look of Nvidia’s current GeForce lineup. Featuring a silver metallic body with black accents and a small acrylic window sitting above the vapor chamber and heatsink fin array.

The new design adopts a much more aggressive look with many sharp angles throughout the exterior of the metallic exoskeleton. Although notably, only the cooling unit’s shroud is visible in this picture. It’s difficult to tell if it includes the actual heatsink as no fins are visible behind the acrylic window. Additionally, we can clearly see that there’s no printed circuit board beneath the shroud, no PCIe connector or rear bracket. So this is just the external body that’s allegedly of a GTX 1080 and not an actual graphics card.
An earlier photo that was leaked online showed another, identical, metallic shroud with the “GTX 1070” moniker engraved instead. We could very well be looking at the creation of a modder that designed these shrouds for his own personal amusement. There’s no way of telling whether these are actual Nvidia made or the product of a creative enthusiast.

Whether Nvidia will actually name their next generation GTX 980 and GTX 970 replacements GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 has been a subject of fierce debate. It’s important to point out that there’s very little evidence that Nvidia will even use a 1000 series naming convention for its upcoming products rather than introduce an fresh one as they have historically done over the years every time a given naming scheme had ran out.
