EVGA release the specifications of three aftermarket GTX 1080 Ti models

Don't like this triple fan cooler from EVGA.

I do like their dual fan however which is on the SC editions. Would have been even better on the SC is they they had made the cooling vanes annodized black :)

Either way, their new twin fan look is far better than their previous generations, so they are on to a good thing. Outstanding clocks too.
 
Not a *fan* of the overly angled design, I preferred the look of their 980 Ti FTW+Classy, Nice and symmetrical looking.
 
I'm a big fan of this design can't wait until i see the reviews from the people who i'm sub to on YouTube who review EVGA GPU's
 
All the talk of how it looks but in 90% of PC's all that will be seen is the backplate, just a thought it would be better if the fans and the nice looking part faced upwards when in a case

Many new cases come with a ribbon and allow you to mount it facing the outside of the case.

I know the ribbon's are available which is why I said in 90%, obviously alot of that 90% will also be stuck under or beside a desk so it wouldn't make a difference, it was just something I had pop in my head a couple of times when looking at GPU's and boring backplates

True - or you could use a mirror/mirrored finish on the PSU shroud if you have one.
The inverted cases may be a good fix but they're pretty rare. I'm looking in mine now and I can see the wrong side of my SoundBlaster X-Fi, and the two backplates for my GPUs. None of the good stuff!!

I imagine it's because heat rises so in a typical scenario you want the fans blowing the air over the heatsink and then up and out the back fan. Bloody thermodynamics ruining my aesthetic ;)

Thats why I like LD V8 cases. They come in a reverse option so you see the GPU coolers.
