In all honesty, this is about as bland as graphics cards get from Gigabyte. I mean that in a nice way though, but it looks just like many other models that came before it. Their 10-series cards looked like this. They even make a 2080 Ti that looks identical. It’s likely part of the process that allows them to keep the cost down. However, despite that, we know this is a competent cooler, so if it isn’t broken, why fix it!
The triple fan configuration works great though. It has a zero RPM mode for silent running at low load. The outer fans spin anti-clockwise, while the middle spins clockwise. This creates a huge air vortex that moves the air around the heatsink much more efficiently.
On the back, you’ll find a full-size backplate, with just some simple “Gigabyte” branding in the middle. It’ll keep the card straight, but also helps cool the PCB too.
Down the side, you’ll find a simple Gigabyte logo too. Well, almost-simple at least, as it comes with 16.7M colour RGB lighting effects. Nothing too gaudy, just a simple lit logo on this card. Around the back, you’ll find three Display Port and a single HDMI port. Again, nothing crazy, but more than enough to meet demands at this price range. Finally, we have the power input, which is a single 8-pin header.
