Gigabyte Announces AORUS XTREME GeForce RTX 30 Series WATERFORCE graphics card
Gigabyte today announced the latest GeForce RTX 30 Series WATERFORCE graphics cards powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture AORUS GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME Waterforce WB 24G, GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME Waterforce WB 10G, GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME Waterforce 24G, and GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME Waterforce 10G.
AORUS is the world’s first manufacturer to include the patent-pending “Leak detection” in the WATERFORCE WB open-loop graphics cards. The built-in leak detection circuit covers the entire fitting and water block and can promptly alert users by flashing light at the first sign of leak, so users can deal with the leakage early and prevent any further damage to the system.
AORUS WATERFORCE WB is ideal for those who wish to build open-loop liquid cooling systems. GIGABYTE specializes in thermal cooling solutions, providing optimal channel spacing between the micro fins for enhanced heat transfer from the GPU via stable water flows. The sunk-designed copper micro fins also shorten the heat conduction path from the GPU, so that the heat can be transferred to the water channel area quickly. Moreover, the cover and backplate of the new-gen WATERFORCE WB feature customizable RGB lighting as users can create their own PC styles and bring creativity into the liquid cooling systems. AORUS GeForce RTX™ 3090/3080 XTREME WATERFORCE, featuring AIO coolers, are a great entry point for users looking for best-of-class performance and quiet gaming experience from a liquid-cooled graphics card. The cards are easy to use and maintenance-free. The large copper plate directly touches the GPU, VRAM and other critical parts. Coupled with heat pipes, the heat can be transferred to the liquid cooling zone for achieving enhanced heat dissipation. Compared to the 120mm size, the optimal 240mm aluminum radiator doubles the surface area and volume for enhanced thermal efficiency, and 2x120mm double ball bearing fans make the graphics card more stable and cool under high overclocks. Both the front cover and the back plate of the new-gen WATERFORCE cards feature customizable RGB illumination, and the ARGB fans can be adjusted according to users' preference through RGB FUSION 2.0 software. In addition, the sturdy FEP tube minimizes loss of water and has high thermal stability as well as high pressure tolerance to greatly enhance product life and durability.
The above 4 variants all come with 6 outputs (3xHDMI, 3xDP), RGB FUSION 2.0 software support, protection metal back plate, dust-proof and moisture-proof aerospace-grade PCB coating, Ultra-Durable top-grade materials and registered AORUS members extended warranty.

Since Nvidia stated that the 3000 series shortage will continue until 2021 I guess that you have to wait until next year...
All these 3000 cards launches by manufacturers are useless - what kind of "launch" is this when there is no product in store.
Where are these cards launched??? In space???

GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME Waterforce WB 24G,
GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME Waterforce WB 10G,
GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME Waterforce 24G,
GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME Waterforce 10G.
"The above 4 variants"
What is the difference exactly between the two variants of each 3080/3090? What is the extra "WB" mean?
Edit: Oh I see it now - one is AIO and the other is for open-loop water.
I see this comes with the "RGB FUSION 2.0" software. I hear an awful lot of people complaining about this - seen it use a lot of CPU continuously - is the complaints true or "fake-news"
I was actually going to buy a Gigabyte CPU 360 liquid cooler and was put off by all the comments about bad software.

Very nice. I might just wait for one of these 3090s since I still haven't received the EVGA 3090 FTW3 I ordered in September and there is no light in sight.

I've been waiting since launch for the 3080 Aorus Xtreme. I bet you these waterforce cards don't even exist yet. :/

No word on availability? The AIO version is the model I wanted from the beginning.
