GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16GB

Product detailed description

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16GB is a high-performance graphics card based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, designed for demanding high-resolution gaming, professional content creation, 3D rendering and artificial intelligence applications. It combines 10,752 CUDA cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 graphics memory, the PCI Express 5.0 interface and advanced WINDFORCE cooling. The elegant light-colored AERO design is complemented by a more compact construction meeting NVIDIA SFF-Ready requirements.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics processor uses the Blackwell architecture with fifth-generation Tensor cores and fourth-generation RT cores. It features 10,752 CUDA cores and a factory-overclocked Boost clock of up to 2730 MHz, compared with the reference value of 2617 MHz. It delivers high performance for modern games, demanding graphics applications and GPU-accelerated computing workloads.

The card features 16 GB of GDDR7 graphics memory operating at an effective speed of 30 Gbps over a 256-bit memory interface. Memory bandwidth reaches 960 GB/s, providing substantial headroom for high-resolution textures, complex 3D scenes, video workflows and applications requiring fast access to graphics memory.

The NVIDIA Blackwell architecture supports modern NVIDIA DLSS technologies with frame generation, advanced Ray Tracing and neural rendering. Fifth-generation Tensor cores accelerate artificial intelligence workloads, while fourth-generation RT cores improve performance when rendering realistic lighting, reflections and shadows. NVIDIA Reflex technology helps reduce system latency in supported games.

The WINDFORCE cooling system uses three Hawk Fans with Alternate Spinning technology, which reduces turbulence between adjacent fans and improves airflow. The design includes a large Vapor Chamber, composite copper heat pipes, Screen Cooling airflow-through construction and specialized server-grade thermal conductive gel for efficient heat transfer from memory and power delivery components.

3D Active Fan technology enables semi-passive operation, allowing the fans to stop under low load or low power consumption. This helps the card operate more quietly during everyday tasks. The fans use graphene-based lubricant to extend their lifespan and reduce operating noise.

The NVIDIA SFF-Ready design allows the graphics card to be used in compatible, more compact computer builds. Dimensions of 304 × 126 × 50 mm make installation easier compared with larger RTX 5080 models. A sturdy metal backplate with reinforced edges improves structural integrity, and a versatile graphics card support bracket is included.

Display connectivity includes three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b output. The card supports up to four monitors simultaneously and a maximum digital resolution of 7680 × 4320 pixels. Modern display interfaces enable high-resolution, high-refresh-rate and HDR monitors according to their specifications.

The graphics card features a Dual BIOS switch for selecting Performance or Silent operating modes. Customizable RGB lighting can be synchronized through GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER. The software also provides monitoring of operating parameters, clock adjustments and fan configuration. The card uses high-quality Ultra Durable components and includes a power indicator that warns of abnormal power delivery.

Power is supplied through one 16-pin 12V-2x6 connector. The manufacturer recommends a high-quality power supply rated at least 850 W. The package includes an adapter connecting one 16-pin connector to three 8-pin PCIe connectors. Before installation, sufficient case clearance and correct power cable connections should be verified.

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16GB is a powerful solution for gaming and workstation computers combining high graphics performance with elegant design and more compact dimensions. The manufacturer provides a standard 3-year warranty, extendable to 4 years through online registration within 30 days of purchase, subject to the manufacturer's terms.
