Gigabyte has announced its new Gigabyte GTX 1080 Mini ITX 8G graphics card. The card measures just 16.9 cm long, making it the world’s smallest GTX graphics card.

Compact Design and Versatility
One of the standout features of the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Mini ITX 8G is its compact design. Measuring just 16.9 cm in length, it is significantly smaller than standard GTX 1080 cards, which typically measure around 27 cm. This reduction in size makes it an excellent choice for small form factor (SFF) builds, such as mini-ITX and micro-ATX systems. Despite its small size, the card does not compromise on connectivity, offering a range of outputs including Dual-link DVI-D, HDMI, and three DisplayPorts, supporting up to four monitors simultaneously.
The card’s cooling solution is also noteworthy. Gigabyte has managed to fit an efficient cooling system within the compact dimensions, ensuring that the card remains cool and quiet even under load. This is achieved through a combination of a high-performance fan and advanced thermal design, which includes multiple heat pipes and a large heatsink.
As yet there are no details on how much the new Gigabyte GTX 1080 Mini ITX 8G will cost, but it is expected to be competitively priced given its unique selling points. You can find out more details about it over at Gigabyte at the link below.
