From pictures it doesn't appear to be the more common copper hotplate and heat pipes with aluminum fins design. OTOH I'd be mildly surprised if its actually completely pure copper and not an alloy of some sort.
considering that AIB cards essentially clock the same as FE cards unless you do a shunt mod for a few extra dozen Mhz, you might as well go for the Xp which will give a bit more tangible performance for the "perfect" die
This is totally marketing bull, and overpriced in my opinion. A Gigabyte, no longer available, two fan GTX 1070 Windforce OC can reach 2000 Mhz sustained in their default, overclocked setting in its bios. I can imagine that their three fan solution in the 1080 Ti can reach the same provided you have a big enough case and watercooling on the CPU.
Finally a graphics card with the power connector in the correct spot.!!!!
Why don't other manifactures place the power connector here. Funny how they need a 'gamer/celebrity' to give them such a simple idea. Cable management for the win.

Other sites are reporting a "pure copper" heat sink?Raw elements always get my juices flowing.
