GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has been fitted with 12 Gigabytes of GDDR6X memory; it runs at 19 Gbps, which is a data-rate most of us can identify with when compared to the last-gen products. We'll show you the full specification details on the next pages. BTW we get often asked, but yes these photos are made with our own photos shoot and are not provided externally.

The reference RTX 3060 Ti, 3070, 3080, 3080 Ti, and 3090 cards all get HDMI 2.1 connectors and the latest iteration in DisplayPort. The reference cards also get the new 12-pin power connecter header (converter cable included that feeds from two 8-pin connectors). Mind you that I do refer to the FE editions here. AIB partner cards are free to choose and use whatever they deem applicable. Gigabyte opts two 8-pin PEG power connectors.

Compared to last-gen, Gigabyte has redesigned the Windforce X3 cooler, triple fans.  But there's also an extended plate at the top of the card no. The look is very industrial, which won't suit everybody but granted I do like that. The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features two 90mm and one 80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 7 composite copper heat pipes, a large copper plate direct touches the GPU.

The card has three fans and uses the traditional power connector design, e.g., 8-pin, two of them. The card has a nice stylish-looking shroud with underneath it a beefy cooler. Interesting is the backside, as it reveals an aluminum backplate, which should help provide passive thermal conduction properties towards the card. At the rear, extending from the PCB you can see part of the heatsink so some hot air is exiting there as well.

The IO panel is used as an air vent and shows five display connectors, three DisplayPort 1.4, and a duo of HDMI 2.1 connectors that will bring 8K 60 Hz HDR to a single HDMI cable. No more USB type-C VirtualLink connector, as that one is going the way of the dodo.
