Gigabyte has launched its revolutionary AORUS RTX 5090 Infinity graphics card, featuring a dual-flow throw cooler & a huge overclock out of the box.
RTX 5090s Are Expensive As Hell, But Gigabyte's AORUS RTX 5090 Infinity Is Worth Checking Out
Earlier this year, Gigabyte's AORUS Design Lab unveiled a rather interesting GeForce RTX 5090 custom model, which it called Infinity. The graphics card has been designed to offer a premium yet compact form factor that packs advanced thermals and offers the full performance of an RTX 5090 and then some more at a remarkably small footprint. The following are the main highlights:
- Powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4
- Powered by GeForce RTX 5090
- Integrated with 32GB GDDR7 512bit memory interface
- WINDFORCE HYPERBURST cooling system
- Double flow through design
- Patented Hawk fan design
- Overdrive fan design
- Composite metal grease for GPU
- Superconducting heat pipes
- RGB Halo
- Die-casting Metal Shroud and Die-casting Metal Backplate
- 4 years warranty (Online registration required)
The AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 Infinity graphics card features a triple-slot design, and while it may look like a dual-fan cooler on the shroud, it's actually a cleverly designed triple-fan variant. The card measures 330x145x65mm. The card is an all-metal design, offering a premium structure in a unique aesthetic that looks neat.
The graphics card features a silver and black color scheme with silver tones around the circular cut-outs that are used to push air out of the top. This kind of looks like a dual-flow through, and that is exactly what Gigabyte is doing here.
Instead of using a standard PCB design, the Infinity makes use of the square-shaped Founders Edition PCB. You can see the vertical placement of the 16-pin connector on the FE PCB.
So, talking about the cooling solution, AORUS has designed a brand new cooler which leverages its Windforce Hyperburst cooling system. This employs dual Hawk fans, a direct-touch vapor chamber, superconducting heat pipes, and features the aforementioned dual flow-through design. Gigabyte uses composite metal greases as the TIM of choice for the AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 Infinity.
The company claims that the new cooler offers reduced airflow turbulence and noise, while delivering up to 53.6% increase in air-pressure and 12.5% increase in air-volume. The internals are made up of a large vapor chamber heatsink that makes direct contact with the GPU, along with superconducting heat pipes and a high-performance composite thermal interface solution. The VRAM and MOSFETs feature a server-grade thermal conductive gel.
There's also a third fan in the center of the shroud, which AORUS labels as the "Overdrive" fan. When more performance is required, the overdrive fan can be enabled for a boosted airflow, offering more cooling to the graphics card. This fan ensures the card retains peak performance when running at its maximum potential.
Speaking of maximum potential, the AORUS RTX 5090 Infinity features a 2730 MHz clock speed, or a 323 MHz overclock out of the box, versus the reference 2407 MHz boost. The card still requires a single 16-pin connector to boot, so it's not going crazy with a dual 16-pin design like other OC models.
AORUS will be further expanding the cooling capabilities offered by NVIDIA's Founders Edition RTX 5090 with its custom Infinity design, while offering a unique look and top-notch performance. The card is now available, but Gigabyte hasn't listed the pricing yet. We can expect the AORUS RTX 5090 Infinity to land somewhere between $3500-$5000 US, based on current 5090 pricing.
