Gigabyte has officially introduced the AORUS GTX 1080 Ti WaterForce Xtreme Edition 11G and AORUS GTX 1080 Ti WB WaterForce Xtreme Edition 11G graphics cards, featuring AIO liquid cooling and custom liquid cooling.
Gigabyte, one of the largest manufacturers of high-end gaming hardware, has presented two new graphics cards based on a liquid-cooled heatsink to enhance the performance of GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards. Gigabyte has introduced the AORUS GTX 1080 Ti WaterForce Xtreme Edition 11G, which features an All-in-One closed-loop liquid cooling system and the AORUS GTX 1080 Ti WaterForce WB Xtreme Edition 11G, which features a cooling block completely customized and custom made liquid.
The two new AORUS solutions are based on the Pascal architecture with custom Gigabyte WaterForce liquid cooling systems, which will allow you to play 4K games at maximum power or VR, in an extremely quiet way. These AORUS have integral cooling that not only covers the GPU, but also the VRAM and MOSFETs, allowing an even more stable overclocking and also significantly lengthens the useful life of the product. Through the GPU Gauntlet Sorting, which allows these two graphics cards to use the best performance cores, enhancing their performance, allowing them to be faster and offer even more stable overclocking. These two graphics cards feature RGB Fusion LED lighting, VR connectivity and premium components, as well as a 12 + 2 power phase system and the PCB features a protective aerospace coating, allowing you to bring gaming to a new level. Both graphics cards come with the AORUS Care warranty, which raises it to four years.
First up is the AORUS GTX 1080 Ti WaterForce Xtreme Edition 11G, which is easy to install and requires little care, plus minimal maintenance with an all-in-one liquid cooling design. It is an ideal solution for those who want to set up equipment with liquid cooling for the first time. This graphics card has a completely sealed WaterForce cooling module that extracts all the heat from the GPU thanks to the copper base of the heatsink that goes over the different components. The dissipation is carried out by means of a previously installed 120mm aluminum radiator, which has a double ball fan to keep temperatures at bay and extend the useful life. FEP braided tubes have high thermal stability, high pressure tolerance and barely absorb moisture, allowing greater stability. The backplate is copper, which draws residual heat from the back of the GPU, providing a great all-round cooling solution.
Regarding the connectivity with video output, it has connectors for virtual reality solutions through AORUS VR connectivity. Gigabyte's technology features VR-friendly technology that natively offers a front panel port via HDMI for connecting a VR device, as well as two HDMI ports on the rear. It has a total of three native HDMI ports, this graphics card offers flexible and VR compatible video outputs, allowing you to enjoy VR while using screens through the HDMI port, at the same time, without hassle and without the need to exchange cables or use adapters.
The AORUS GTX 1080 Ti WaterForce WB Xtreme Edition 11G has been developed for liquid cooling enthusiasts, in this case it is intended for custom liquid cooling systems. It features a custom water block that completely covers the GPU, VRAM, and vital components using a copper block. Liquid flow over critical areas has been optimized to notably suppress heat, keeping the graphics card excellently cooled and stable when it is subjected to a strong overclock. Excess heat from the GPU can also be dissipated by the advanced copper backplate.
This graphics card also has VR-friendly connectivity through AORUS VR Link, prepared without any doubt, for gaming fans who want to enjoy VR. It has full-aspect RGB lighting on both sides of the graphics card and the edges of the graphics card, where the AORUS logo is located. Users can customize with the full spectrum of colors and a wide variety of lighting effects to build a unique and personalized gaming rig. In addition to aesthetics, the PCB coating is aerospace grade applied to the graphics card that protects the circuitry from moisture, dust and corrosive contaminants, providing robust security measures for the graphics card in the event of any coolant leak. .
