KFA2 GeForce GTX 1080 HOF 8GB Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2016-12-03

The GeForce GTX 1080 HOF card sports a unique white/silver appearance in order to be fitted inside high-end gaming setups with a transparent side panel. It is equipped with a massive three slot cooling system which does integrate one back plate, one frontal plate, a big heatsink with no less than five heatpipes but also three 90mm silent fans. The back area of the PCB houses a row of blue LEDs which do stay on at all times, while the Hall of Fame logo area does come with RGB LED lighting, which is fully customizable thanks to the Xtreme Tuner Plus utility. 1080 HOF is also pre-overclocked from the factory and performs well in most games at 4K resolutions.

A Closer Look Part IV

A HOF logo can be also spotted near the PCI-E connector, but this one won’t be visible with the card installed in the PCI-E slot:

The card does also sport mounting points for the FlexHold adapter in the back, which, in most cases would fit between the 1080 and the HDD cage:

A look on the other side of the card does reveal a larger Hall of Fame logo, which in this case is LED-lighted:

Near it we can spot the holes for mounting the FlexHold adapter:

The two PCI-E power connectors do also come in a white-ish color in order to complement the PCB finishing:

Almost the whole bottom area of the PCB is covered by a custom aluminum plate; the VRM area is marked so we won’t go near it by mistake during operation, since it becomes quite hot:

The SLI finger is easily accessible:

The card is equipped with an extra HyperBoost button on the I/O plate, which is meant to bring the fans to maximum levels, but also add some voltage optimizations (with the current BIOS the voltage is not unlocked). We also have one DVI-D port, no less than three DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.0b port:
