Got my new GPU - Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Premium
Huge Box. Almost twice the size of box of any Graphics card that I bought in the past.
Inside the box
The Graphics card. This is quite bulky in size. Length is roughly same as my earlier GTX980, but the breadth is substantially bigger. Unless you have a big chassis like mine with a large clearance, this might not even fit.
Size comparison with the Gigabyte GTX980 G1 Windforce OC.
For the first time in nearly 6 years, my i5 2500k CPU and probably the PCIe 2.0 (to some extent) seems to have become a substantial enough bottleneck. I am anyways planning for an overhaul of my CPU and Motherboard once the 7th gen desktop series hit the market.
