The factory overclock, then, was a bit of a wash on my sample and plays out exactly as you would expect in frame rates. Interestingly, this is a higher peak (the FE topped out at 1950MHz) but a lower average speed by the same 30MHz as the overclock. Perhaps thanks to this headroom, the card also managed to clock higher and peaked at 1965MHz during testing while usually holding steady closer to 1890MHz. The card also ran quieter and could barely be heard at these temperatures. That’s a five degree improvement from what I recorded with the Founder’s Edition in identical circumstances. At peak, my sample hit 77C in an open case and usually hovered between 74-75C. The result of this design is a card that runs cooler and quieter than the original but whose out-of-the-box performance is nearly identical in games. This isn’t the kind of overclock that will create a meaningful, or usually even perceptible, difference in games but, paired with the thermal performance, points toward the possibility of additional overclocking headroom. The core clock has received a modest boost to 1800MHz, a 30MHz overclock over reference. Running on a 256-bit bus, that gives the Eagle a memory clock of 19GHz and total bandwidth of 608GB/s. That means 6144 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6X memory, the same ultra-fast variety found on the RTX 3080 and higher Nvidia GPUs. With the exception of a small factory overclock, the Eagle 8G is identical to the reference RTX 3070 Ti. The heatsink has also been shaped to maximize direct contact with the heat generating components. The fans spin in opposing directions to increase air pressure and reduce turbulence. Apart from just being triple-fan, Gigabyte has enhanced their function with 3D texturing to guide airflow with reduced acoustics. These elements are all part of the Windforce 3X cooling system we first saw on the RTX 3080 Eagle 10G. It is thicker and takes up 2.5-slots, so you’ll want to bear that in mind if you have an add-in card directly below it. Even though it has an extra fan compared to the Founders Edition, Gigabyte did a good job of keeping size in check coming in at just over 11 inches (or half an inch longer than the FE).
When the case fans are oriented properly, the warm air hits the path of airflow crossing the CPU and is whisked out of the case. The third fan is positioned directly over the rear vent, allowing air to blow across its fins and out the back.

Like the Founders series from Nvidia, the Eagle uses a shortened PCB and longer heatsink to draw heat further from the GPU. On the right side, a sizable vent has been cut to allow air passthrough to further keep temperatures down. A backplate is a small touch, but I’m happy to see it nonetheless. It’s not light on branding but I stopped noticing once it was installed in my case. That’s probably for the best because it ties together the blue and grey color scheme which carries through to the back of the card.Īround the back, you’ll find a nice metal backplate to help dissipate heat.

According to the product page, this should be customizable with the company’s RGB Fusion 2.0 app, but I couldn’t get the software to recognize the card, so it stayed blue. A blue slash angles its way along the side behind the Gigabyte logo. Once installed, you’ll find that there’s even a bit of RGB.
