GIGABYTE has officially released the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 series graphics cards using NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. With a focus on “An Evolution of 10,” GIGABYTE seeks to enhance thermal performance by 10% over the previous generation and reduce the card size by 10%.
GIGABYTE provides various cooling solutions for high-performance GPUs, including AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE liquid cooling and customizable water blocks, alongside air cooling options from the AORUS MASTER, GAMING, AERO, and WINDFORCE series to support gamers, creators, and AI developers.
GIGABYTE has enhanced its cooling solutions for NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, offering both the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE liquid cooling and the upgraded WINDFORCE air cooling systems. The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE features liquid metal thermal interface material for improved thermal conductivity and supports custom liquid cooling setups. Meanwhile, the WINDFORCE system incorporates a new Hawk Fan design that increases air pressure and volume while minimizing noise, utilizing server-grade thermal conductive gel for cooling critical components. These innovations ensure superior thermal performance and quiet operation under heavy workloads.
AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE – GIGABYTE offers the most comprehensive liquid cooling solutions
The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE is a top-of-the-line graphics card that provides great performance and quiet operation. It features an all-in-one liquid cooler that uses liquid metal thermal grease, which is much better at conducting heat than regular silicone grease. This helps keep the GPU cool and prevents sudden temperature spikes when the power changes. It has several protective layers, such as a PCB coating, UV resin, and barriers, to stop any liquid metal leaks and ensure reliable performance. GIGABYTE’s strong protection system keeps the liquid metal safe, giving users peace of mind.
The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE WB water block is perfect for DIY PC fans looking for the best silent performance and custom setups. It cools important parts like the GPU, VRAM, and MOSFETs to keep everything stable, even when overclocked. The design includes tiny fins over the GPU to increase contact with the coolant, and a shorter distance between the water channel and the GPU improves heat dissipation.
With its focus on high-quality looks, the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE graphics card features a large see-through design that showcases its internal parts. The fluid channels are crafted to look unique, simulating the flow of water and enhancing the card’s artistic appeal. The RGB lighting is placed thoughtfully to create an eye-catching visual effect from any angle.
AORUS MASTER air cooling
The AORUS MASTER graphics card is GIGABYTE’s top air-cooled product, designed for serious gamers who want high performance and advanced cooling. It features an innovative WINDFORCE cooling system with the new Hawk fan, a larger heatsink, a vapor chamber, multiple heat pipes, and Screen Cooling Plus to keep it cool even during heavy use. Screen Cooling Plus includes an external RGB fan and a special bracket that attaches to the back of the heatsink, improving airflow and system performance.
To manage the heat from powerful GPUs, we use a special thermal grease that combines the heat transfer of liquid metal with the easy application of silicone grease.
The AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER also has advanced heat pipes that improve heat transfer efficiency. These heat pipes have special internal structures and use a unique process to optimize cooling based on where the heat builds up.
AORUS “RGB Halo” provides stunning triple-ring RGB lighting, making your PC visually impressive. The redesigned LCD Edge View on the AORUS MASTER GeForce RTX 50 Series includes new animations and real-time effects. Users can customize it to show text, images, or GIFs and monitor important system info like power use, temperatures, and fan speed.
Additionally, AORUS graphics cards have a protective PCB coating, a Dual BIOS with a Silent mode, and ULTRA DURABLE certified components. Thanks to their advanced power design, these graphics cards run cooler, quieter, and with less interference.
GIGABYTE Series – GAMING, AERO, and WINDFORCE Series
The GAMING series is well-known for its great performance and reliability. It features customizable RGB Halo lighting on its three-ring fans, adding a stylish touch to any gaming setup. The new GAMING series also has a smooth design with a sliding side plate and RGB lighting that lets users customize their builds to reflect their personal style.
The AERO series, known for its attractive white and silver design, appeals to designers and those who prefer minimalistic looks. It’s perfect for PC systems with light color schemes. The side logo features a unique design with beautiful RGB lighting for a sophisticated effect. The WINDFORCE series is perfect for users who want stability and durability in a graphics card.
To improve the strength of GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, we have added a reinforced structure. The sturdy metal backplate has a bent edge and is securely attached to the I/O bracket, ensuring excellent durability. Additionally, we provide a versatile VGA holder in the package. This newly designed holder offers many customizable mounting options, keeping your graphics card securely in place and preventing sagging. Its sleek design allows for easy installation, enhancing your system’s overall look.
GIGABYTE aims to meet the needs of different users, offering a wide variety in the GeForce RTX 50 Series. Along with models focused on high performance, we have specifically designed compact options for small form factor fans, like the SFF-Ready GeForce RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16G and GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G graphics cards, balancing powerful performance with a smaller size. Whether you are a gamer, content creator, or AI developer, you will find the right solution in the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 50 Series.
GIGABYTE’s latest GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 series graphics cards is available starting from 30 January 2025.
