GIGABYTE has begun teasing their enthusiast-class AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Extreme and RTX 2080 Ti Extreme graphics cards, which will stand at the pinnacle of the company's graphics cards lineup for the new NVIDIA series. The new AORUS graphics cards join the previously-announced five other RTX 20-series models. The later announcement of the flagship graphics cards likely means GIGABYTE was going through a time of GPU binning so as to only include the best silicon it could find on its top-of-the-line designs.





The AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Extreme will feature a triple-fan, triple-slot design with what are 10 individually-programmable RGB lighting accents on each fan (on the tip of the blade). The new graphics card features what Gigabyte calls a "stacked fan design" which pushes the middle fan out of alignment with the other two fans, allowing for a slight overlap which reduces overall graphics card footprint while permitting an arguably fancier RGB lighting scheme. GIGABYTE says that they have refined the look of their AORUS Extreme by cutting the orange accent and looking out for a more "50 Shades of Grey" look.



Also of note is that it allows the usage of 3x 100 mm fans, while other solutions typically shrink the middle fan. And according to GIGABYTE, the middle fan is spinning in an opposite direction relative to the other two fans, which they say allows for better airflow and heat dissipation. There is also an added attention to the connectivity ports, which now support up to 4 monitors, and an increased warranty up to 4 years in select models, granted users register on GIGABYTE's AORUS website within thirty days of purchase.

Oh my Gigabyte has gone full retard this time. Counter rotation of fans and different height has never proven to be effective, and now you can see a real disco if you spend your days peeking up from the bottom of your case.

Happy days. All yours for a mere 300 bucks too much.

Has it been proven to be ineffective? I don't know enough about how fans and airflow work with video cards to say it's stupid.

But I liked the orange accents, making them differing shades of grey is boring and bland.
Now I have to also say that this design shroud is just ugly to me.

Actually I am not sure you are right about these two points. Some folks have bought this vertical GPU brackets for their cases, so this just might be disco in DA face :), not just from the bottom. But counter rotation might have a positive effect. I have seen it in smaller cases, where adjacent fans have counter rotation and it proven to be helping a lot. But someone needs to test this for a GPU.

Counter rotation is fine. The likely fail is the different heights: you lose cooler surface area for not much benefit. Talking of.. they have to be losing at least 4mm of cooler height just in the stupid shroud, which is even more idiotic.

I'm not interested in such a test honestly, I'm more interested if Gigabyte can release a generation of cards without rampant issues... with fans ;) That's enough of an achievement for them already.

Couldn't agree more on this one. As owner of GTX970 G1, my fans are now connected with an adapter to my Lamptron fan controller, because the card....just runs them 100% all the time and simple google says I am one of the many many people out there with the same problem.
