Scheda grafica GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, 256-bit, 304mm, WINDFORCE 3X

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 is a discrete graphics card with a 16 GB GDDR7 memory subsystem and a 256-bit memory bus. The GPU runs at 2617 MHz and the effective memory clock is 28,000 MHz, providing a maximum supported resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels and support for up to four displays. The card uses a PCI Express 5.0 interface and offers three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs plus one HDMI 2.1b. The cooler is an active WINDFORCE 3X design with three fans in a full-height, full-length 304 mm form factor. System requirements include a minimum 850 W power supply and a single 16-pin auxiliary power connector. Manufacturer warranty is 3 years.

Advantages

The graphics card combines the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU with 16 GB of fast GDDR7 memory and a 256-bit bus for high-bandwidth data transfer. PCIe 5.0 support and modern display outputs (DisplayPort 2.1b and HDMI 2.1b) allow high-resolution and high-refresh-rate monitors. The WINDFORCE 3X active cooling with three fans and a compact full-height/full-length design supports efficient heat dissipation while remaining compatible with many small-form-factor builds. Included power cable and a three-year warranty simplify installation and provide coverage.
