Inside the box you’ll find an envolope with the user guide, a 2 x 8-pin to 16-pin 12VHPWR adapter cable, anti-sag brackets and a bag screws.
A Closer Look
The card comes with a solid metal backplate giving it structural stability and protection. The included anti-sag bracket provides better reinforcement, and prevents that ugly-looking sag due to the weight of the graphics card.
The card is quite large and uses up 2.5 PCIE slot space. So make sure you have plenty of room in your chassis.
You’ll also find the new 16-pin 12VHPWR power connector and a BIOS OC/Silent switch, and this allow users to get the best performance or enjoy silent operation.
For cooling, it comes Gigabyte’s WINDFORCE cooling system featuring three 100mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 7 composite copper heatpipes, a vapor chamber directly touches the GPU, 3D active fans and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency and heat dissipation.
The card has TBP (or total board power) of around 285W, so we recommend a minimum power supply of 750W or higher. For monitor output, there’s 3 x DisplayPort v1.4 and 1 x HDMI 2.1 ports.
Installation
We used an Asus Strix Z790-E Gaming motherboard
On the top right side of the graphics card you’ll find theGigabyte logo, which lights up when the system is powered up.
The ring LEDs are found on the inner edge of the 3 x 100mm fans. They really make the graphics card stand out. The RGB lighting can be controlled using the downloadable Gigabyte Control Center.
