Once the package is opened, we find the graphics card tightly packaged inside of a combination of anti-static sleeve and foam molding.
Our treasure inside is well protected with custom foam molding as well as an anti-static bag. You will also receive a driver disc, quick guide and warranty card along with the graphics card. The included bundle is bare-bones most certainly.
A Closer Look
First off, the triple-fan WINDFORCE 3X cooler is impressive to behold. The cooler is made of extremely sturdy material. Additionally, the backplate is made of solid metal. The backplate provides full coverage of the PCB and it looks great. This is a dual-slot cooler by the way so there will be no worries when it comes to the installation of other expansion cards. These fans operate alternatively to each other, which is a huge advancement in cooling technologies!
The WINDFORCE 3X design is well thought out and the ventilation helps to dissipate the heat accordingly. This graphics card supports up to a four-monitor setup and no digital connection is left out of the mix! The GIGABYTE RTX 2060 Super SC Ultra Gaming 8GB graphics card requires external power from the combination of an 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors.
There are plenty of fins in the heatsink design which help to dissipate the heat and allow it to escape from the graphics card. This card undoubtedly has GIGABYTE’s signature style all over!
The attention to detail is amazing as is normally the case with any GIGABYTE product. There are many angles and lines in the design which make the card look light years better than a reference card.
The GIGABYTE RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC 8G graphics card most certainly looks the part! However, we shall see if the device’s performance can match the swagger.
