Hitting the Apex with the New GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Cards

September 30 2022

The long-awaited NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards have finally arrived. To fully unleash the beastly performance of these next-gen powerhouses, we beefed up our AORUS graphics cards from top to bottom to ensure the best-in-class performance in every way.

Powered by the new ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the 3rd generation of RTX, GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards are beyond fast, giving gamers and creators a quantum leap in performance, neural rendering, and many more leading platform capabilities. This massive advancement in GPU technology is the gateway to the most immersive gaming experiences, incredible AI features, and the fastest content creation workflows. These GPUs push state-of-the-art graphics into the future.

THE WINDFORCE IS BACK

The RTX 40 series brings tremendous performance to the table, but at the same time, they consume much more power and generate lots of heat than ever before, making the cooling design absolutely critical in this generation.

To keep everything running nice and cool, the AORUS graphics cards are rocking the iconic WINDFORCE cooling system on the RTX 40 series family. The completely redesigned cooling fans with prism-shaped riblets on the blade surface increase the static pressure by up to 30% while dropping the noise level by up to 3dB when compared to the regular fans at the same RPM.

Underneath the fans, we have the massive heatsink module with the angular fin design—creating more surface area and cooling capacity than ever. Digging deeper, we can see that the vapor chamber is in direct contact with the interior cores, covering both the GPU and the VRAMs. We have also thrown in the high thermal conductive pads to further enhance the heat transfer. At the back, we’ve supersized the screen cooling this time to allow more hot air to escape towards the exhaust fans for better cooling.

COOLEST LOOKING IN EVERY WAY

The graphics card is also where you can show off your gaming vibes. That is why we are bringing back the fan-favorite RGB lighting, the RGB Halo, to light up your PC in style. Various customizable lighting effects along the spinning fans will definitely dazzle your builds like no other. There is also the LCD Edge View on the side. So whether the card is mounted vertically or horizontally, the AORUS graphics cards look great either way.

The LCD Edge View also offers various modes. You could customize texts, images, or gifs that you like. You could also monitor critical health status, like temperatures, RPMs, etc as well.

BIGGER SIZE. LONGER LIFE.

Since the RTX 40 series graphics cards are heavier and thicker than ever, several reinforcement features have been introduced to make the cards extra sturdy.

The full-metal backplate with the bent edges adds more rigidity to the card. In addition, the use of double ball bearings ensures the cooling fans can last twice as long as the other fan types, so peace of mind is guaranteed.

The card also comes with an anti-sag bracket, which can support more than 5kg of load, preventing the card from sagging while protecting the PCIe slot from damage.

HEROES ASSEMBLE

We know PC builders love options, and that is why we are giving you plenty. You will soon get your hands on a series of our new offerings to power your high-end PCs, starting with the AORUS GeForce RTX 4090 MASTER, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING OC, and the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 WINDFORCE. For liquid-cooling maniacs out there, we also have the AORUS GeForce RTX 4090 XTREME WATERFORCE variant with a built-in water block. The RTX 4080 series will follow soon afterward, so stay tuned to AORUS for our latest updates.
