GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 3080 GAMING 12GB OC GRAPHICS CARD STEP INTO THE FUTURE OF GRAPHICS Prepare yourself for an unforgettable gaming experience with the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC GPU, powered by the all-new NVIDIA GeForce Ampere architecture boasting 2nd Generation RT cores and 3rd Generation Tensor Cores to bring you the biggest graphical performance leap of the modern era. The RTX 3080 Gaming OC features the renowned WindForce 3x cooling system to keep all that power in check with its alternate spinning unique bladed fans to give you whisper quiet unprecedented high efficiency heat dissipation. A protective metal backplate not only enhances the aesthetics of the card but also enhances the structure to provide full protective coverage and with support for RGB Fusion 2.0 you have access to 6.7M customisable colour options and numerous lighting effects, you can choose lighting effects or synchronise with other AORUS devices. Welcome to the future of gaming with GeForce 3080. WINDFORCE 3X COOLING SYSTEM The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 2 x 90mm and 1 x 80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 7 composite copper heat pipes, a large copper plate direct touch GPU and 3D active fan and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation. The alternate spinning can reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase air pressure. The adjacent fans turn in the opposite direction so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same. The 3D Active Fan offers semi-passive cooling, and the fans remain off when the GPU is under a low load or under low demand. UNIQUE BLADE FAN The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface. Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of sleeve bearing fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter. SCREEN COOLING Extended heatsink design allows air flow to pass through, providing better heat dissipation. LARGE COPPER PLATE & HEAT-PIPE With direct contact to the GPU and VRAM, the large copper plate combines the composite heat pipes to efficiently transfer heat generated from the interior cores to the heat sink. RGB FUSION 2.0 Create Ambience inside your PC with 16.7M customisable colour options and numerous lighting effects, you can choose lighting effects or synchronise with other AORUS devices. PROTECTIVE METAL BACK PLATE The metal back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection DUAL BIOS Silent mode will provide a quieter experience. The mode switch requires a reboot to take effect. The default is OC mode. EXTREME DURABILITY AND OVERCLOCKING The graphics card uses a better power phase design to allow the MOSFET to operate at lower temperature, and over-temperature protection design and load balancing for each MOSFET, plus the Ultra Durable certified chokes and capacitors, to provide excellent performance and a longer system life.
