First NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 PCB shots hit the web

VideoCardz got its hands on a bunch of photos of the NVIDIA PG413, the PCB of the GeForce GTX 1080 video card. Overall, the board looks similar to the GeForce GTX 980 (Ti), it's about the same size but one key difference is that it requires just one 8-pin PCIe power connector.

The photos also reveal the card is equipped with two SLI fingers, which are needed for the new SLI High Bandwidth bridge. The new bridge uses both SLI fingers simultaneously and promises a smoother experience and better performance scaling.

At this point it’s hard to say if screw holes are aligned the same as they were on older boards, which is important for those who already have custom coolers or brackets for AIO cooling solutions.
