In The News: Gigabyte Launches its Line-up of GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Graphics Cards

Gigabyte launches its new GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 series graphics cards that are powered by NVIDIA's "Blackwell" architecture.

Gigabyte RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards

(Press Release) GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today launched the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 series graphics cards powered by NVIDIA® Blackwell architecture. With the "An Evolution of 10" design philosophy for GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards, GIGABYTE aims to improve thermal performance by up to 10% compared to the previous generation, while simultaneously reducing the card size by up to 10%.

To address the increasing power demands of high-performance GPUs, GIGABYTE offers a comprehensive range of cooling solutions, including AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE all-in-one liquid cooling and custom loop-ready water block for ultimate customization. For air cooling, GIGABYTE's AORUS MASTER, GAMING, AERO and WINDFORCE series provide a variety of options to cater to the needs of gamers, creators, and AI developers.

To maximize the AI computing capabilities of NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, GIGABYTE has optimized the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE liquid cooling and WINDFORCE air cooling solutions, being among the first to provide liquid cooling options at launch. The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE all-in-one liquid cooler utilizes liquid metal thermal interface material, significantly improving the thermal conductivity coefficient by up to 10 times. The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE WB water block caters to enthusiasts building custom liquid cooling loops. Both solutions deliver superior thermal performance and a whisper-quiet experience under strenuous workloads.

GIGABYTE has upgraded the WINDFORCE cooling system, balancing performance and thermal efficiency on air-cooled models. The new Hawk Fan design minimizes turbulence and noise, resulting in up to a 53.6% increase in air pressure and a 12.5% increase in air volume without compromising acoustics. Server-grade thermal conductive gel is used to cool critical components such as VRAM and MOSFETs. This highly deformable, non-fluid gel provides optimal contact even on uneven surfaces and effectively resists deformation from transport or long-term use. Combined with advanced thermal technologies like a larger heatsink and vapor chamber, these cards ensure optimal performance and quiet operation under demanding workloads.

AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE - GIGABYTE Offers the Most Comprehensive Liquid Cooling Solutions

The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE is our flagship graphics card, delivering unmatched performance and silent operation. AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE all-in-one liquid cooler uses liquid metal thermal grease, offering up to 10X the thermal conductivity coefficient of traditional silicone grease. This maintains low GPU temperature and effectively reduces temperature surge during power draw fluctuation. The multiple layers of protection, including PCB coating, UV resin, and multiple fences, prevent liquid metal leakage and ensure stable and reliable operation. GIGABYTE’s industry-leading quadruple protection system ensures the liquid metal remains contained, providing users with peace of mind.

The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE WB water block is designed for DIY PC enthusiasts seeking ultimate silent performance and unique custom loop builds. Its comprehensive cooling solution actively cools critical components like the GPU, VRAM, and MOSFETs to ensure system stability under high overclocks. The micro fins over the GPU maximize contact area with the coolant, and a reduced distance between the water channel and the GPU further enhances heat dissipation.

With its emphasis on premium aesthetics, the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE graphics card features an expansive transparent design that highlights its internal components. The fluid channels are meticulously crafted with a converging pattern, representing the gathering of water and elevating the card's design to a new level of artistry. The RGB lighting elements are strategically placed to provide a captivating visual experience from any perspective.

The AORUS MASTER graphics card is GIGABYTE’s flagship air-cooled product, engineered for hardcore gamers seeking uncompromising performance and advanced thermal solutions. Its innovative WINDFORCE cooling system, featuring the new Hawk fan, an enlarged heatsink with angular fins, a vapor chamber, multiple heat pipes, and Screen Cooling Plus, ensures optimal thermal performance even under the most demanding workloads. Screen Cooling Plus uses an external RGB fan and a tailored bracket to mount on the backside of the extended heatsink, providing more cooling flexibility and creating more streamlined airflow inside the chassis, leading to greater overall system performance. To address the thermal demands of high-wattage GPUs, we utilize composite metal thermal grease that leverages the high thermal conductivity of liquid metal and the ease of application of silicone grease.

To further elevate thermal performance, the AORUS GeForce RTX™ 5090 MASTER is equipped with superconducting heat pipes utilizing section sintering technology for enhanced heat transfer efficiency. These superconducting heat pipes incorporate internal groove structures and a segmented powder sintering process. Capillary structures are precisely positioned based on the heat pipe’s evaporation and condensation zones to achieve optimized thermal performance.

AORUS “RGB Halo” delivers an even more stunning take on the signature triple-ring RGB lighting, transforming your PC into a captivating visual spectacle. The redesigned LCD Edge View on the AORUS MASTER GeForce RTX 50 Series not only features a new series of animations but also offers real-time interactive effects. It provides extensive customization options, allowing users to display text, images, or GIFs, and monitor key system metrics such as power consumption, temperatures, and fan RPM.

In addition, the AORUS graphics cards boast aerospace-grade PCB coating, a Dual BIOS design with a Silent operation mode, and ULTRA DURABLE certified components. Due to their advanced power design and precise power control, the graphics cards operate with lower component temperatures, reduced noise, and minimized signal interference.

GAMING, AERO, and WINDFORCE Series
