The Gigabyte RTX 5080 XTREME WATERFORCE WB isn’t your standard plug-and-play GPU. It’s built for enthusiasts who want maximum performance with a liquid cooling setup. If your rig isn’t waterblock-ready, this card is not for you. But if you’ve got the cooling hardware in place, you’re in for a serious performance boost. With 16GB of GDDR7 memory, DLSS 4 AI upscaling, and NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, this GPU is designed to easily crush 4K gaming and handle demanding creative workloads.

The 2.805GHz base and boost clock speeds make this one of the fastest GPUs in its class. With PCIe Gen 5 support, expect blazing-fast data transfer speeds to keep frame rates smooth. For multi-monitor setups, the three DisplayPort 2.1 and one HDMI 2.1 output let you run up to four displays simultaneously, making this a great choice for ultra-high refresh rate gaming or professional editing rigs. Remember, this card has no built-in fans — it depends entirely on your liquid cooling system to stay frosty.
