DIRECTX 12 ULTIMATE Developers can now add even more amazing graphics effects to Microsoft Windows-based PC games. GeForce RTX graphics cards deliver advanced DX12 features like ray tracing and variable rate shading, bringing games to life with ultra-realistic visual effects and faster frame rates. WINDFORCE 2X COOLING SYSTEM The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 90mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 3 composite copper heat pipes direct touch GPU, 3D active fan and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation. ALTERNATE SPINNING The GIGABYTE “Alternate Spinning” is the only solution that can solve the turbulent airflow of adjacent fans. Since the adjacent fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction is opposite between the fans, which will cause turbulent airflow and reduce heat dissipation efficiency. 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. ALTERNATE SPINNING Smooth Airflow : better heat dissipation STANDARD SPINNING Turbulent Airflow : worse heat dissipation UNIQUE BLADE FAN The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the airflow. 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. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle. HEAT PIPES DIRECT TOUCH The shape of the pure copper heat pipe maximizes the direct contact area with the GPU, enhancing heat transfer. The heat pipe also covers the VRAM through a large metal plate contact to ensure proper cooling. 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. BUILT STRONG TINY SIZE WITH MIGHTY PERFORMANCE. For gamers who prefer a small build with powerful performance, GIGABYTE delivers a compact graphics card with less than 200mm in length. The card provides mighty performance and is easy to install in any small chassis as well. EXTREME DURABILITY & 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. PROTECTION BACK PLATE The back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection. 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. IN TOTAL COMMAND The interface and functionality of the software is subject to each model. 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.
