Question 1

Since this card is 4slots, should I be concerned about sag?

Accepted Answer

Probably... I checked the card's specs page on Aurous Gigabyte and it does NOT list in the accessories category any such brace, support bracket, or other form of supporting device. Aurous also does not sell a separate support device. However, you could get the MSI "Graphics Card Bolster"... that might work for you. It's under their GPU accessories tab if you go to the MSI USA page under their "products" tab

Question 2

how many poscaps?

Accepted Answer

None of the 3080s are using poscaps, these haven't been used since the 1000 series. They are using sp-caps which are generally not cheaper than MLCCs. Gigabytes cards seem to be using 6 high quality sp-caps in the gaming and eagle cards, but unlike the other brands and the FE card they are also filling out the entire space between capacitors with MLCCs.

Question 3

Does RGB2.0 Fusion allow all the RGB's and OLED to be customized to your lighting effects?  (can I make it all red themed)

Accepted Answer

Yes.  A previous answer indicated the software isn't working.  You need to install Aorus Engine first and it will update the firmware and then it will work with fusion 2.0.  The settings aren't persistent yet, so coming back from sleep you may have to reapply but it seems to reapply automatically with each restart.

Question 4

DOES THIS NOT INCLUDE WATCHDOGS LEGION AND 12 MONTH GEFORCE NOW?

Accepted Answer

Apparently not... I got this card and it is definitely not included.

Question 5

Can I expect good cooling performance from this VGA card?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 MASTER 10GB Video Card is equipped with MAX-COVERED cooling, which features unique blade stack fans with wind claw design and alternate spinning to completely cover the heatsink. This design helps reduce turbulence and increase air pressure, providing better heat dissipation. Additionally, it has an extended heatsink design for enhanced airflow and cooling performance.

Question 6

Would this fit in the h1 Nzxt case?

Accepted Answer

No it won't. This is, one, too long, and second, it is wayyyy too thick for that case.

Question 7

Why does this card not include Watch Dogs Legion?

Accepted Answer

It says it includes "Watch Dogs" so I don't know which one it includes but it should at least include some sort of Watch Dogs game..
