The WINDFORCE 3X cooler features a "original blade fan" with graphene nano-lubricant that has the same durability as double ball bearings, a massive copper heat sink, and a "composite heat pipe" that efficiently transfers GPU heat. Utilizes proprietary technologies. Additionally, it features a "Dual BIOS" that allows for switching between overclocking and silent mode, a "metal back plate" that prevents the board from distorting, and an illumination system called "RGB FUSION 2.0" that can be synced with AORUS devices. The primary specifications are 8,960 CUDA cores, a boost clock of 1,755MHz, a 384-bit memory bus width, a memory speed of 19Gbps, a memory bandwidth of 912GB / sec, and GDDR6X memory. HDMI 2.1 x 2, DisplayPort 1.4ax3, and simultaneous output of four screens are supported.

PCI-Express4.0 (x16) is the bus interface, while the auxiliary power connector is an 8pin x2 connector. 320 mm in length, 129 mm in breadth, and 55 mm in thickness are the external dimensions. 2 years (agency warranty) + 2 years (manufacturer extended warranty / online registration required) for a total of 4 years on the product.

You can expect its price to hover at 1700 EUR.

Man, their cards are so ugly with that stepped design.

Why not make it 130MM wide the entire length and use 3 of the same fans.

I'm not buying any GPU from Gigabyte ever. They have no idea what hysteresis is, their cards ARE LOUD AS HELL! When you set semi passive mode for them and you approach passive mode temperature, since there is no hysteresis it will do the whoom noise. Whooom (fans starting) ... silent for 0.5s whooom 0.5s silence whooom. I mean what kind of stupid people work there?
