GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER RTX 2090
The AORUS MASTER graphics card features new fan blades and a special surface design. The WINDFORCE bionic shark fan increases static pressure by up to 30% while simultaneously reducing noise levels by up to 3 dB , compared to standard fans at the same RPM. Its heatsink module with angled fins creates a larger surface area and greater cooling capacity. The direct-contact vapor chamber, with multiple heat pipes and expanded screen cooling vents on the back, ensures the AORUS MASTER graphics card delivers top-tier thermal performance, even under demanding workloads.
It also comes with an upgraded version of AORUS' signature triple ring RGB lights, the RGB Halo. They offer addressable lighting effects on rotating fans, so each setup shines with its own style. Its LCD Edge view on the side of the AORUS MASTER graphics card allows you to personalize your cards with texts, images or gifs, for even more customization. Critical statistics such as power consumption, temperatures, or fan RPM can also be monitored.
The AORUS MASTER graphics card is featured on an aerospace-grade PCB coating, coupled with a dual BIOS design with silent operation mode and ULTRA DURABLE certified components. Its 24+4 power phase design and precise power control keep component temperatures lower, with less noise and less signal interference.
GAMING OC RTX 4090
The GAMING OC RTX 4090 utilizes the WINDFORCE cooling system. Its three alternate-spin blade fans, vapor chamber with direct GPU contact, composite copper heat pipes, 3D active fans, and screen cooling work together to maximize heat dissipation . The WINDFORCE fans use a graphene nanolubricant, extending fan lifespan by 2,1 times compared to the original model. Combined with the powerful design and ULTRA DURABLE certified components, the graphics card can operate at lower temperatures with increased performance. Its Dual BIOS with silent mode provides a quieter user experience.
It also inherits AORUS RGB Halo to have addressable lighting effects on rotating fans. In addition to the upgraded metal backplate, the graphics card also comes with an anti-wear bracket while offering optimized reinforcement and enhancing the overall visual appearance.
WINDFORCE RTX 4090
The GIGHABYTE WINDFORCE graphics card also utilizes the WINDFORCE cooling system of three unique bladed fans, alternate rotation, large vapor chamber with direct contact with the GPU, composite copper heat pipes, 3D active fans and screen cooling.
It also features Dual BIOS to provide silent operation. Its metal plate with the brushed and mirror surface to express the art of texture, makes the card more aesthetic and more suitable for users who prefer clean and elegant design. It also comes with a VGA mount.
AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE
The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE all-in-one cooler delivers high performance and a quiet gaming experience in an easy-to-install solution. Its copper heatsink and heat pipes make direct contact with the GPU, VRAM, and other critical components, transferring heat to the liquid cooling area for improved heat dissipation. The triple-sized 360mm aluminum radiator, equipped with three 120mm dual ball-bearing fans, keeps the graphics card running cool.
The FEP tubing minimizes water loss and provides high thermal stability and pressure tolerance for improved lifespan and durability. The 460mm tube length allows for easy installation of the radiator on the top or front panels of a PC case, similar to a liquid cooling system. The tubing is routed to the back of the board, preventing interference with the CPU cooler. It also features an aerospace-grade PCB coating, ULTRA DURABLE certified components, a 24+4 power phase design, and precise power control.
GIGABYTE Offers Power Supply Solutions for the RTX 4090
GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards use the latest 16-pin PCIe 5.0 power connector , which can handle over 450 watts of power. GIGABYTE already offers PCIe 5.0 power supplies for its GeForce RTX 4000 series graphics cards: the UD1000GM PCIE 5.0 and UD850GM PCIE 5.0 power supplies.
Both have a 16-pin cable, which can support up to 600 watts of power to the graphics card. The traditional power supply can be replaced with the adapter, to reduce installation inconvenience and provide better cable management.
