Based on the Ampere architecture and designed to handle the graphical demands of 4K gaming as well as 1440p gaming at high frame rates, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 AORUS MASTER 12GB Graphics Card brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your PC games. The GPU features 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM and a 384-bit memory interface, offering improved performance and power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation.The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K at 60 fps, 4K at 120 fps, and even up to 10K. The RTX 3080 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU’s 8960 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.For cooling, Gigabyte implemented MAX-COVERED cooling, which features triple 100mm unique blade stack fans with a wind claw design. The fans also feature alternate spinning so air pressure can completely cover the heatsink. The card also features an LCD Edge View that displays graphics card information and can be customized to show various texts, pictures, and even GIFs. You can also adjust lighting effects via RGB FUSION 2.0 software.
NVIDIA Ampere Architecture
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture can deliver twice the FP32 throughput of the previous generation. Its 2nd Gen RT cores provide enhanced ray tracing and shading while its 3rd Gen Tensor Cores can run AI-powered technologies efficiently.
Real-Time Ray Tracing
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX platform enables real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions, and global illumination.
DLSS
NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is AI rendering that boosts frame rates while still providing optimal image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on the GeForce RTX platform. This gives you the performance you need to maximize ray tracing settings and resolutions for an immersive visual experience.
HDMI 2.1
The HDMI 2.1 interface provides increased bandwidth, allowing a single cable to output to 8K HDR TVs for ultra-high-resolution gaming.
