GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 16G Graphics Card - 16GB GDDR7 - GV-N5080WF3OCV2-16GD

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 pairs NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture with 16GB of GDDR7 memory in a factory-overclocked triple-fan design. With 10,752 CUDA cores and 960 GB/s of memory bandwidth, it delivers excellent high-refresh 4K gaming and strong creative performance. The WINDFORCE cooling system keeps it running cool and quiet without the price premium of the AORUS range.

Blackwell RTX 5080 Performance

The RTX 5080 is built on NVIDIA's Blackwell GB203 die with 10,752 CUDA cores, positioning it as a genuine 4K card with headroom for high refresh rates. Its 16GB of GDDR7 runs at 30 Gbps across a 256-bit interface for 960 GB/s of bandwidth, a substantial step up from the GDDR6X of the previous generation. This WINDFORCE model ships factory overclocked above NVIDIA reference clocks.

DLSS 4 and RTX Features

NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation uses AI to generate additional frames, lifting performance substantially in supported titles, while fourth-generation RT cores handle ray tracing and fifth-generation Tensor cores accelerate AI workloads. NVIDIA Reflex 2 reduces system latency in competitive games, and NVIDIA Studio drivers keep creative applications stable and accelerated. The card is fully DirectX 12 Ultimate capable.

WINDFORCE Triple-Fan Cooling

GIGABYTE's WINDFORCE cooling system uses three fans with alternate-spinning blades to reduce turbulence between them, improving airflow efficiency through the fin stack. Composite copper heat pipes make direct contact with the GPU die to pull heat away quickly, and a metal backplate adds rigidity while helping dissipate rear-side heat. Fans stop entirely at low load for silent desktop operation.
