Gigabyte air cooled cards are weird - they are the biggest but never have the best performance. You can look at the 2080ti, 3090, 4090 etc it don't matter - the gigabyte master is always huge, but only has middle of the pack performance.
I don't know what goes on at Gigabyte, but I suspect they don't have the best engineers

Yeah it's strange. The Aorus should perform similarly to the ROG Strix for example, but it doesn't. It's louder and has worse temperatures.

Maybe Gigabyte have improved things for the 5000 series? Either way I don't like their designs personally.
 
Depends on the benchmarks, I'm not interested in frame gen, I want to see performance of a 5080 vs a 7900XTX in raster with no upscalers used.

The Aorus Master was by far, far away the nicest card of the 4090s I had (vs. FE and Gaming OC). No coil whine and pretty much silent. Sent back because of one rattly fan :[

Otherwise I would have kept it. Minor issue I’ve read about is that the RGB on the fans themselves causes fan ramping but I just disabled it and there was no issue, IIRC.

Bloomin’ fan!

How does the FE compare to the Gaming OC in your view? I recall the Gaming OC 4090 getting well reviewed and was a solid mid tier card, but above the entry level cards with reference PCBs.

The FE was built like a tank, my favourite of the 3 in that regard, but had dreadful coil whine. The gaming OC was the least well built and also had dreadful whine, unfortunately. I must have gotten unlucky.

No whine on the Aorus whatsoever. Same PSU and cables on all of them.

It was a total lottery tbh.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. My FE has a small amount of coil whine in some games, but nothing too bad thankfully. It wasn't apparent until i moved from a 144hz to 240hz monitor.
 
When you say coil whine, did it occur in game too? I've had cards in the past where I would get some coil whine in game menus etc but as soon as the actual game loaded it would disappear.

Yes, it was ****ing tragic. Even my wife was like … dayyyyym!

Honestly, it was shocking to think that anyone could think that level of noise was acceptable on a ‘premium product’! I’m hoping that the amount of 4090 returns causes manufacturers to ‘silently’ update their cards and take learnings to the 50 series.

In fact, ASUS did exactly that around the time they released the ROG matrix, since they confirmed as much to derbaur (the tech YouTuber… whatever his name is :p).
 
Just to really hammer home how bad the coil whine was, it was bad enough for my wife to joke about it this week unprompted:

Hmmm, there was apparently a typo or pre-guesswork packaging suggesting the 5080 may end up having a 24GB version. If true, I may go for that one rather than the 5090 (depending on prices).
 
I quite like the look of the FE cards, so i might purchase the 5080s or 5090 coming from a 3080FE. Difficult to choose which one without seeing concrete benchmarks, and the FE get sold quickly, so i may purchase one and sit on it. If i don't like what i'm seeing from the benchmarks, i can at least sell it at the price i paid for and get a used 4090 and some left over cash.

That was rumoured.

3GB DDR7 modules were not available for 5000 series launch but they will be if nvidia decide to launch a 5080 Super variant later on.
 
Desktop days are gone for myself as I have a Legion 4080 laptop.

Not sure how much of a difference the 5000 series laptops are going to be, seeing as they use the same 175w of power.

Will wait and see.
