Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 SFF 16GB Blackwell Graphics Card

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 SFF 16G Graphics Card

Designed to deliver high-end gaming and creative performance in a more compact package, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 SFF 16G combines the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU with 16GB of GDDR7 memory, a 256-bit memory interface, and PCI Express 5.0 connectivity. Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4.5, it brings advanced AI-enhanced graphics, ray tracing, neural rendering, and low-latency technologies to demanding games and creative applications. Its NVIDIA SFF-ready design, 2670MHz factory-overclocked core clock, WINDFORCE cooling system, reinforced structure, and versatile VGA holder make it a particularly compelling choice for high-performance systems where graphics card size is an important consideration.

Blackwell-Powered Graphics Performance

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU provides 10,752 CUDA cores and a Gigabyte-specified 2670MHz core clock, compared with the 2617MHz reference clock. Based on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the card incorporates fifth-generation Tensor Cores and fourth-generation Ray Tracing Cores to accelerate AI-enhanced graphics, ray tracing, neural rendering, and demanding gaming workloads.

16GB GDDR7 High-Speed Memory

With 16GB of GDDR7 memory connected through a 256-bit memory interface and operating at 30Gbps, the RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 SFF 16G provides the high-speed memory bandwidth required for demanding modern games, high-resolution graphics, creative applications, and AI workloads.

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AI-Enhanced Gaming

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 uses AI-powered neural rendering technologies to boost frame rates, reduce latency, and enhance image quality, with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation available in supported titles. The Blackwell architecture also enables full ray tracing with neural rendering, while NVIDIA Reflex 2 is designed to optimise responsiveness in competitive games.

WINDFORCE Cooling System

The WINDFORCE cooling system combines Hawk fans, alternate fan spinning, server-grade thermal conductive gel, composite copper heat pipes, a large copper plate, 3D Active Fan technology, and screen cooling. The large copper plate directly contacts the GPU, while composite copper heat pipes transfer heat to the heatsink, helping the card maintain effective thermal performance during demanding workloads.

Hawk Fan Technology

The Hawk fan features a blade design inspired by the aerodynamics of an eagle's wing, reducing air resistance and noise while increasing airflow pressure and air volume. Gigabyte states that the design provides up to a 53.6% increase in air pressure and a 12.5% increase in air volume without compromising acoustics. Alternate spinning reduces turbulence between adjacent fans, while graphene nano lubricant helps extend fan life.

Semi-Passive 3D Active Fan Cooling

3D Active Fan technology provides semi-passive cooling by allowing the fans to remain off when the GPU is operating under low-load or low-power gaming conditions. This allows the cooling system to respond to workload demands while avoiding unnecessary fan operation during lighter use.

NVIDIA SFF-Ready Design

The RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC V2 SFF 16G complies with NVIDIA's small form factor specification, allowing high-performance RTX 5080 hardware to be installed in systems where graphics card dimensions are more restrictive. Measuring 304 × 126 × 50mm, its compact design is suited to compatible small form factor builds while retaining the performance of a full GeForce RTX 5080 GPU.

Reinforced Construction and VGA Holder

A reinforced metal backplate with a bent edge is securely fastened to the I/O bracket to provide additional structural integrity. The included versatile VGA holder offers multiple mounting options to support the graphics card and help prevent sagging, while its discreet design is intended to complement the overall appearance of the system.

High-Resolution Display Connectivity

Three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b output provide connectivity for up to four displays simultaneously, with support for a maximum digital resolution of 7680 × 4320. This provides the bandwidth required for high-resolution gaming, professional displays, and multi-monitor configurations.

PCIe 5.0 Connectivity and Power

Using a PCI Express 5.0 interface, the graphics card provides a high-bandwidth connection to compatible desktop motherboards. Power is supplied through a single 16-pin connector, with Gigabyte recommending an 850W power supply. A 12V-2x6 to three PCIe 8-pin adapter is included for compatible power supplies.
