Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME 10GB V2 LHR Graphics Card

Overview

Push high-resolution gaming, ray-traced graphics and GPU-accelerated creative workloads with the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME 10GB V2 LHR. Built around NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, this enthusiast-grade graphics card combines 8,704 CUDA cores, 10GB of high-speed GDDR6X memory and a factory-boosted 1905MHz core clock to deliver serious performance for demanding PC setups.

AORUS pairs that performance with its substantial MAX-COVERED triple-fan cooling system, vapour-chamber-assisted heat transfer and an extended heatsink to help the GPU maintain performance during longer gaming and rendering sessions. An integrated LCD Edge View display and RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting add a level of customisation rarely found on conventional graphics cards.

This is the Rev. 2.0 LHR version, manufacturer model GV-N3080AORUS X-10GD 2.0, identified by EAN 4719331309442.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turn Up Resolution and Visual Quality – The GeForce RTX 3080 GPU with 8,704 CUDA cores delivers substantial parallel processing performance for demanding PC games, high-resolution rendering and GPU-accelerated applications.
• Get More Performance Straight Out of the Box – AORUS raises the GPU core clock to 1905MHz, compared with the 1710MHz reference specification, giving the XTREME version additional factory-tuned performance without requiring manual overclocking.
• Handle High-Resolution Textures with Fast GDDR6X Memory – 10GB of GDDR6X memory runs across a wide 320-bit interface with approximately 760GB/s memory bandwidth, helping the GPU move large amounts of graphical data quickly during demanding gaming and creative workloads.
• Bring Games to Life with Hardware Ray Tracing – NVIDIA's 2nd-generation RT Cores accelerate real-time ray-traced lighting, reflections and shadows in supported titles, producing more realistic graphical effects without relying solely on traditional rasterisation.
• Get Higher Frame Rates with AI-Assisted Rendering – 3rd-generation Tensor Cores support NVIDIA DLSS technologies in compatible games, using AI-assisted rendering to improve performance while maintaining high visual quality.
• Keep Performance Under Control During Long Sessions – AORUS MAX-COVERED cooling uses two 115mm fans plus one 100mm fan, alternate spinning and specialised airflow design to distribute cooling across the heatsink more effectively.
• Move Heat Away from the GPU and Memory Faster – A large copper plate makes direct contact with the GPU and VRAM, working with a vapour chamber/composite heat-pipe cooling structure to transfer heat towards the heatsink.
• Improve Airflow Through the Entire Card – The extended heatsink allows air to pass through the rear section of the card, helping hot air escape rather than becoming trapped around the PCB.
• See GPU Information Without Opening Monitoring Software – The built-in LCD Edge View display can show GPU temperature, clock speed, utilisation, fan speed and VRAM information directly on the graphics card.
• Make Your PC Build Truly Personal – The LCD can also display customised text, supported images and GIFs, giving enthusiasts another way to personalise a showcase PC.
• Synchronise Your Gaming Setup with RGB Lighting – RGB Fusion 2.0 offers 16.7 million colour choices and multiple lighting effects, with support for synchronisation across compatible AORUS components.
• Choose Between Performance and Quieter Operation – Built-in Dual BIOS provides OC and Silent operating modes, allowing you to prioritise performance or reduced acoustic output depending on your setup.
• Connect High-Refresh 4K Displays and Modern TVs – The card provides three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, two HDMI 2.1 ports and one HDMI 2.0 port, giving you extensive display flexibility without immediately needing adapters.
• Build a Multi-Monitor Workstation – Although six physical video connectors are provided, the card supports up to four simultaneous displays, making it useful for gaming, streaming and multi-screen productivity setups.
• Drive Ultra-High-Resolution Displays – Digital resolution support extends up to 7680 × 4320, giving the card compatibility with 8K-class output configurations where supported by the display, connection and workload.
• Add Structural Support to a Large High-End GPU – A protective metal backplate reinforces the graphics card while giving the rear of the card a cleaner appearance inside windowed PC cases.
• Ready for Modern High-Bandwidth PC Platforms – A PCI Express 4.0 x16 interface provides the host connection for compatible motherboards while remaining suitable for appropriately compatible PCIe systems.

Why Choose This Product

The AORUS RTX 3080 XTREME 10GB V2 was designed as much for enthusiast PC builders as it was for gamers.

At its core is a powerful RTX 3080 running at a substantial 1905MHz factory clock, paired with 10GB GDDR6X memory and 760GB/s bandwidth. That gives it the hardware required for demanding high-resolution gaming, ray tracing, rendering and other GPU-accelerated workloads.

What separates the XTREME version from a basic RTX 3080 is everything Gigabyte builds around that GPU. The oversized triple-fan cooling system, copper thermal solution, Dual BIOS, RGB Fusion lighting and customisable LCD transform the card into a centrepiece suitable for premium gaming builds rather than simply another component hidden inside the case.

It is particularly suited to users who want strong gaming performance and enthusiast-level cooling and customisation without having to immediately modify an ordinary reference-style card themselves.

The Rev. 2.0 model is an LHR – Lite Hash Rate – version. LHR was introduced to limit cryptocurrency-mining hash rates and does not remove the graphics card's standard gaming, ray-tracing or creative capabilities. Gigabyte explicitly identifies Rev. 2.0 as its LHR version.

Specifications

Gigabyte confirms the 1905MHz clock, 8,704 CUDA cores, 10GB GDDR6X memory, 320-bit interface, 760GB/s bandwidth, PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, 850W recommended PSU and triple 8-pin power requirement for Rev. 2.0.
