looks like a rejected Super Hot prop with those meaningless polygons.
These are just binned 1080's, we should have gotten these instead of the standard 1070's we have now.

To slightly beat out the RX Vega 56.

Vega 56 undervolted (something that not many users know how to do) and under circumstances where there is no overhead (generally DX's fault) outperforms the 1080, the reason why this happens is because nvidia provides locked down bioses to manufacturers and AMD doesn't, so AMD sets the default values higher as to avoid issues similar to the ones found in the 7870xt and it's dead graphics cards or red screens in the 500 series
the funny thing is that vega 56 uses up 260w stock but as soon as you change the clock -+50/100 mhz it can get to 140w which also gives you ridiculously good thermals

Vega 56 is a hilarious card all around, it's barely cut from a RX Vega 64 for $100 less, and can can perform the same or better (because less CUs @ a higher clock & lower heat) in a number of gaming scenarios currently.

I mean look at that VRM for the 56, overkill unheard of before in the GPU industry.
