Product Showcase
The graphics card has been fitted with a Turing GPU based on 12nm FinFet architecture and, with almost 7 billion transistors, it has 1536 active shader/stream cores. For those that wonder, the board is populated with GDDR6 memory from Micron (not Samsung).
Above, you can see the back side, the back side is covered with a back-plate with few gaps to vent, the PCB is really small and extending further is the actual cooler, the card reaches temperatures in the 60 Degrees C range in our testing and remains at a silent acoustic noise level (we use the silent BIOS mode).
The card has a ~120 Watt rated TDP, 75 Watts is delivered through the PCIe slot, then 1x150 Watts capacity feeds in through the 8-pin PEG (PCI Express Graphics) power connector.
You can also select the silent mode though BIOS, which indeed is really silent. This will make the temps rise a bit, but at little to no cost to performance. Hate RGB? There's a physical on/off switch.
The rear side has been fitted with the traditional FAN headers, attach fans there and they will follow the graphics card fan RPM. There is an RGB header there as well these days.
