Gigabyte launch GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC edition

I find it strange that Gigabyte has decided to replace two DisplayPort connections with a single DVI connection, as this will limit GTX 1070 Mini-ITX OC GPUs users to only a single Nvidia G-Sync display.
The crowd with the overclockable Korean 1440p monitors is a very vocal minority, and they depend on having actual dual-link DVI ports since apparently the active displayport->DVI adapters don't do overclocks.

This is really annoying IMO because basically no one else has a need for a full size DVI port, the few with early 30" monitors from before DisplayPort was a thing can use an active adapter and the rest of us can use passive single-link adapters for older monitors and HDMI. Dual-slot cards could have full ventilation on the second slot while still offering 4-6 monitor outputs if only DVI would go away.
 
Well isn't this a cute little thing.
Love it when cards are the same length as the mobos width. Looks clean.
