Gigabyte RTX 5080 Aorus Master Review
Temperatures and Power Draw
Temperatures and Power Draw
The drivers on modern graphics cards are more willing to cap their performance when you hit thermal limits. This means that, by and large, most cards top out around the 80 degree mark. Power draw is far more important. Thankfully, if the RTX 5090 power requirements worried you, the RTX 5080 is much kinder to your energy bill. Despite the slightly higher than average power draw of the RTX 5080 Aorus Master, the work Gigabyte put into the cooler pays off in spades. Frosty.
