GIGABYTE RTX 3080 AORUS 12GB Water-Cooled

This GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card targets enthusiasts who need high frame rates at 4K resolution. It integrates 12GB GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus with 8960 CUDA cores. The WATERFORCE all-in-one cooling system uses a 240mm radiator and two 120mm ARGB fans. It requires a 750W PSU with two 8-pin power connectors.

Sustained Load Thermal Behaviour

The WATERFORCE all-in-one loop moves heat from the GPU to a 240mm radiator, keeping core temperatures lower than air-cooled designs during extended gaming or rendering sessions. Liquid cooling maintains consistent boost clocks without thermal throttling. The metal back plate adds structural rigidity and aids passive heat dissipation. RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting on the fans and block synchronises with other components.

12GB 384-Bit GDDR6X Memory

The 12GB GDDR6X frame buffer on a 384-bit interface delivers 19000 MHz effective bandwidth, which is the decisive factor for 4K texture-heavy workloads and high-resolution multi-monitor setups. Four display outputs (two HDMI 2.1, one HDMI 2.0, three DisplayPort 1.4a) support 7680 x 4320 resolution. This memory configuration determines whether the card fits your resolution and asset-quality targets.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the WATERFORCE 240 mm radiator with dual 120 mm ARGB fans run under sustained load?

The all-in-one liquid cooler moves heat from the GPU to a 240 mm radiator cooled by two 120 mm ARGB fans, keeping core temperatures lower and quieter than typical air-cooled designs during long sessions.

My power supply only has one 8-pin PCIe connector — will this card work?

No, the board requires two 8-pin power connectors and a 750 W PSU minimum; a single 8-pin cable cannot deliver enough current for the 1830 MHz boost clock and 8960 CUDA cores.

Will the PCI Express 4.0 interface run at full speed on my older PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

The card is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe 3.0 speeds on a 3.0 slot; the 384-bit GDDR6X memory and 12 GB frame buffer keep performance strong even with the reduced bus bandwidth.
