On the side of the card that generally won’t be seen as it’s facing the motherboard, Gigabyte has kept the shroud design similar to the other side. Not only has this helped to allow for a better factory overclock, but it will also allow you to get that extra bit of power out of it on your own, should that be your type of thing. With a card this big and beefy comes a need for a lot of power! Gigabyte has things covered with two 8-pin and a single 6-pin power connector.

This is great for when you need that extra power and really want to get as much out of the GPU and do it as easily as possible! When your system is powered off, you can switch between the two by flipping the switch to meet your desired needs. However, with the size and power of this card, I am sure Gigabyte have made sure that the cooling is on point so no need to worry there.Īs we see a lot of times on the higher end cards there is an OC/Silent BIOS switch on the Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti AORUS MASTER 8G. The shroud takes up most of the side and there is only a small bit of the heatsink on show here. Moving along, we can now also see two 8-pin and a single 6-pin power connector. So, what do you do with a massive graphics card? Well, you add an LCD monitor to the side of it so you can add custom pics and GIFs to it because why not? The screen can also be used to monitor GPU temps, clocks and more should that be more your thing. This means we have to take Gigabytes R&D teams word for the cooling performance gains that is offers. This is a feature we would love to test out ourselves and see how good it works, but it would be rather hard. The middle fan is going to rotate in the opposite direction of the two out fans which is supposed to create more pressure and allow for better cooling. From the second you get this card out of the box, you can tell it is an absolute beast! It’s massive and heavy, and it is absolutely amazing how big GPUs have gotten in the last year! Gigabyte has gone with a bit of a unique fan design for the RTX 3070 Ti AORUS MASTER 8G.
