I was always curious to know if a tiny gtx 1080 wouldn't be as good as a refrence one, could somebody please explain why there are differents sizes and what changes with each size
 


Hi, there are two main suppliers of GPU (processors), NVidia (GTX), and AMD (R7,R9,RX,etc). They
LIcense these out to the various brands you find out at retail. These brands usually have the ability
to modify the original reference model that was introduced. Thus, they tweak the units, including adding
fans, heatpipes, ets to improve cooling, along with other things.

Adding these things like fans increase the size of the card.
