WINDFORCE 3X
COOLING SYSTEM
The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features two 90mm and one 80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 7 composite copper heat pipes, a large copper plate direct touches the GPU, 3D active fans 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 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
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.
DUAL BIOS
Silent mode will provide a quieter experience. |

4080 12gb is supposed to be as fast a one 3090ti
4080 16gb is supposed to be up to 2x as fast a 3080ti(doubt)
4090 is supposed to be up to 2x as fast as a 3090ti(doubt)
I think everyone should wait for reviews. With 3000 series flooding the market, those cards should be good enough for almost everything out there for a fraction of the cost.
With DLSS 3 reserved for 4000 series only, and with the prices being as stupid as they are, DLSS 3 won't see market penetration as well as DLSS 2, and nVidia has effectively fragmented the market. So now developers need to either consider using the older DLSS 2 and market towards a larger demographic, or use DLSS 3 and market towards almost no one.
Crypto no longer uses GPU to mine so miners are dumping inventory which will lower prices.
Scalpers are stuck with large numbers of GPUs and they're dumping inventory which will lower prices.
TSMC refused to lower nVidia's production capacity, so they will be oversupplied which will lower prices.
Almost everyone that wanted a 3000 series card has gotten one at this point which will lower prices.
A small chunk of individuals will be upgrading to 4000 series and sell their old 3000 series which will lower prices.
nVidia doesn't have the miner market anymore. They will suffer greatly from these prices long-term. The fervent will upgrade immediately no matter what you tell them.
For the rest of us, WAIT. The 3080ti will be the card to get in just a few months time as reality slowly settles in.

Its been mentioned several times before that Jensen is trying to control the bottom falling out on 3XXX pricing. Now with today's reveal that's only been confirmed. A 650-700 dollar 3080 12GB looks pretty damn good in comparison.
All the people who said to HODL looking really dumb right now. I know I'll get DV for this but today showed that our only hope is for AMD to piledrive these asinine prices.

Jensen can't control the market being flooded by scalpers and miners. Retailers will refuse to take any more cards from nVidia if they are already at capacity. Shelf space in stores and warehouses are a commodity. They will be FORCED to hold sales and drop prices constantly.
All the people who said HODL were RIGHT. Prices fell IMMENSELY in the past few months. They will continue to nosedive.
AMD has shown absolutely no initiative in bringing any real competition in the past several years, I don't know how or why people still believe AMD is "for the people". They're exactly the same as nVidia, just red instead of green. "Pildedrive these prices" just like they piledrives the prices for the 3000 series and intel CPUs RIGHT? no, wait, that never happened.

Prices will fall yes, but don't expect a 400 dollar 3080 12GB any time soon.
Prices did fall immensely yes, but now you are getting to a point of diminishing returns. You make it sound like you know the micro-economics situation better than Nvidia does. They know exactly what they are doing. Nvidia is trying to get rid of their 3xxx cards and they can do exactly that now the 4xxx prices are absolutely insane. It's called price anchoring. Once those are gone, 4xxx prices will likely come down.
And no I don't expect AMD to do anything. I said "hope" which is basically the same as crossing my fingers. I don't expect it to happen but they have an opportunity to undercut Nvidia somewhat especially since their whole stick is "performance per watt". Thats code word for "we can't compete with Nvidia in terms of raw power, so we are doing it on the efficiency front".
You can save this and shove it in my face if I am wrong. I am able to admit being wrong.

Regardless, if you're hoping AMD will lower prices, then you're waiting, just like I said. Nov. 3rd is RDNA 3 reveal date with release likely around a month after. So whether you agree with me or not, you're waiting.
And if you're so certain that you're right, stop responding and go buy a GPU now.

I'm going to wait. Either one of two things will happen.
1) prices will drop and I'll get what I want
Or
2) prices won't drop and I'll save over $1000.
Either case, I can't lose.

You clearly don't remember nvidia controlling the 10xx pricing or 9xx pricing pre crypto. They literally will hold prices for as long as inventory exists. They literally held the 1080 price all the way to the 3 series launch lol. Why do you think the 4070 was delayed until March next year, they forecasted out the 3080 demand.
Free market only exists when managed pricing by contract doesn't. Nvidia is notorious for holding prices as retailers will as they don't want to take a write off either.
Please hold your breath for $400 retail new 3080s...between that and cure for cancer....I bet cure for cancer.
Why do you think evga just walked away...
