COOLING SYSTEM
WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 2x 90mm and 1X80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 7 composite copper heat pipes, large copper plate direct touch GPU, 3D active fan and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation.
ALTERNATE SPINNING
Alternate Spinning can reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase air pressure.
SMOOTH AIRFLOW
GIGABYTE turns the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing the turbulence and enhancing the airflow pressure.
3D ACTIVE FAN
The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low power game.
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
Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of 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
With 16.7M customizable color options and numerous lighting effects, you can choose lighting effects or synchronize with other AORUS devices.
PROTECTION 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.
EXTREME DURABILITY AND OVERCLOCKING
The graphics card uses the 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 longer system life.
FRIENDLY PCB DESIGN
Fully automated production process ensures top quality of the circuit boards and eliminates sharp protrusions of the solder connectors seen on the conventional PCB surface. This friendly design prevents your hands from getting cut or inadvertently damaging components when making your build.
NVIDIA NVLINK SUPPORT
Support for NVIDIA NVLinkTM (NVIDIA SLI) technology, which combines 2 identical GPUs with an GeForce RTX NVLink Bridge to deliver the ultimate experience in your gaming.
AORUS ENGINE
The cutting edge intuitive interface allows you to adjust the clock speed, voltage, fan performance and power target in real-time according to your game’s requirements.
Pros: Video Clock boosts really close to 2Ghz without any tweaking, and it does this while usually sitting at around 66-68 Celsius. I've yet to see this GPU exceed 73 Celsius, even with ultra settings, RTX Ultra ON, DLSS turned off, etc. at 1440p resolution. Very quiet under load. No coil whine, and hardly notice the fans, not louder than other components in my system.
Cons: Bulky and power hungry. Fits in my system just fine (Corsair H500m). Older releases of the Gigabyte 3070/3080/3090 Eagle and Gaming models have issues that the manufacturer is aware of, related with the power connector. Serial Number 2038 (week 38 of the year 2020) or older (lower) might be defective. When I got mine it was Serial Number 2044, so if you buy it now it should be fixed.
Overall Review: This graphics card runs faster than I expected, at lower temperatures than I expected, while being quieter than I expected, and is the star of my build (which says a lot since I have a 5900x too!). If you get this GPU you won't regret it, so long as you have the a strong enough Power Supply with 2 8-pin PCI connectors and 850+ watts, as well as a large enough chassis to support it. Be weary of older released variants of this model, or similar models (per Cons section), as they are defective and require RMA.
