What this card is

The PNY GeForce GTX 1080 8GB XLR8 Gaming Overclocked Edition is a factory-tuned graphics card built on the NVIDIA Pascal architecture. It targets gamers and VR enthusiasts who want higher clocks than the reference design without manual tuning.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

The 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB of 256-bit GDDR5X memory suit 1440p gaming and high-refresh 1080p play. Users chasing 4K 60 Hz in modern titles or ray-traced workloads should consider newer architectures with dedicated RT hardware.

Build fit: power, cooling and display connections

The card draws power over a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and requires adequate case airflow for its triple-fan cooler. Outputs include one HDMI 2.0b, three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and a dual-link DVI-D port, driving up to 7680 x 4320 resolution across multiple monitors.

Questions about this item

What power connectors does my supply need for the 8GB 256-bit GDDR5X card?

The card draws power through a standard PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot plus the required auxiliary PEG connectors; check the unit for the exact 6-pin or 8-pin layout before installing.

Will the HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs drive my older 1080p monitor without adapters?

Yes, both HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4 are backward compatible with 1080p panels, so the monitor will work directly with either cable type.

How can I verify the factory overclock is active after driver installation?

Open GPU-Z or the NVIDIA control panel and confirm the core clock reads 1708 MHz and the boost clock reaches 1848 MHz under load.
