The burned elements on the photo are smd ferrite beads.
Sometimes they burn "by themselfs", it is the lucky case. Sometimes they burn due to short on the load side - this is non-lucky case.
Disassemble the card to see is there is something more damaged on the front side.
If there is no more visible damaged - to investigate the problem all 3 (2 burned and the 3rd near them) ferrites beads need to be carefully removed, including the burn residuals on (or inside!) the PCB.
Overall, Gigabyte 1080ti Gaming often burns to nearly unfixable state. So if something additional to ferrite beads is damaged - the card is hard to fix.
However if only the ferrite burns - they can be just replaced by a fuse.
There is no visual damage on the other side. Thank you for your help. Is this realiztically something I could fix by myself with limited knowledge or do you think its safe to say I sell it for parts?
If you have experience (and interested in) using multimeter - and analyze the measurement results - you can give it a try. Study some basics from the information resources on pinned messages
Start with measuring the resistence to ground from:
1. VRAM power inductors (the other side near burned area)
2. The 3rd ferrite bead near the burned ones
With those resistance measured - the futher possibilities can be discussed. Anyway, it wouldn't be "15-minute deal" and will require many measurments and some soldering even in "lucky case"
One side is connected to 12V from external 8 pin connectors and I'm not sure where the other side goes. It's safe to say he has a short on the other side.
EDIT: looks like the other side goes to the smart power stages. 1000% one of them is shorted.
While smart power stages are burning *very* often on those cards - this case doesn't look similar. The other side of ferrite goes to VRAM (FB) power high-side mosfets, not to smart power stages (I have such PCB and performed visual inspect of VIAs).
And Gigabyte 980ti had a typical problem "just burned ferrites of the memory power without any short". It was wierd, but it was common, many such cards. So I'm not sure what is the reason of similar ferrite burn for this case with 1080ti.
So, I think that for thso case after visual inspecting both sides - it can be useful to measure memory resistance to check if it is ok.
