EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X Graphics Card

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 is a PCI Express 3.0 graphics card built on the NVIDIA GTX 1080 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores. It ships with 8GB of GDDR5X memory on a 256-bit bus and occupies two expansion slots. The card is designed for enthusiasts who need high frame rates at high resolutions.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This card suits gamers targeting 1440p or 4K with a 240Hz monitor and creators using CUDA-accelerated workflows. Its VR-ready design supports headsets that require DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth. Buyers needing newer API features such as hardware ray tracing or AI upscaling should consider a more recent architecture.

Deciding Specification: 8GB GDDR5X on a 256-Bit Bus

The 8GB GDDR5X frame buffer paired with a 256-bit interface determines whether this model fits your workload. It delivers the memory bandwidth needed for 7680 x 4320 output and high-refresh 1440p gaming. If your applications demand more VRAM or a wider bus, this card will become the bottleneck.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained performance on the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080?

The 2-slot width restricts cooler size, so thermal headroom becomes the first bottleneck during long sessions.

How loud or hot does the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 get when running all day?

A dual-slot air cooler exhausts heat into the case; expect audible fan noise and rising temperatures under continuous load.

What power connectors must my supply already have for the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080?

The card requires standard PCIe auxiliary power cables from your PSU; check that your unit provides the necessary 6-pin or 8-pin leads.
