Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 5080 Master Review: Flagship

AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 MASTER 16G sits at the top of Gigabyte’s air-cooled RTX 5080 lineup. The side LCD on the cooler shroud stands out, and the box even includes a fourth fan. Build quality is robust and premium, and the stock overclock is higher than you usually see on OC variants. Not everything is perfect, though—the out-of-the-box fan tuning could be better, and those extras do push up the price.

Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds—Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (Q mode)

The final set comes from the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition benchmark at 3840 × 2160 with Extreme settings.

In Q mode, the only notable differences again are in temperatures and fan speeds; performance and clock frequency vary only marginally.

The GPU clock frequency ranges between 2,790 and 2,925 MHz, averaging 2,872 MHz.

The GPU’s average power draw is about 356 W, with the load likely dipping at the end of each test loop. min 477.8

Once again, temperatures are only slightly higher for both the GPU and the memory, yet still excellent: the GPU peaks at 70.5 °C and the memory at 74 °C.

The maximum fan speed values peak at only around 670 rpm.
