FAQs

What is the minimum recommended power supply for this card?

The minimum recommended system power supply is 850W, due to the high power demands of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.

Can I use this card with a PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

Yes, the card is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0, but you will not be able to utilize the full bandwidth of the PCIe 4.0 interface.

How do I switch between OC mode and Silent mode?

The Dual BIOS switch is located on the graphics card itself. You need to reboot the system for the selected BIOS mode to take effect.

What resolution and refresh rate can this card support?

The card supports a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels. It is capable of driving high refresh rates at 4K and lower resolutions, depending on the game's demands.

How much VRAM does this graphics card have?

This graphics card comes with 12 GB of GDDR6X discrete graphics memory.

Can the LCD screen display anything I want?

The LCD Edge View supports custom text, images (JPG, BMP, PNG), and GIFs. You can configure these through the AORUS Engine software.

Troubleshooting

No display output

Ensure the graphics card is fully seated in the PCIe slot and all power connectors are securely attached. Verify that display cables are connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard. Try a different display cable or monitor.

Artifacts or visual glitches during gameplay

Update your graphics drivers to the latest version. Ensure the GPU is not overheating by checking temperatures in monitoring software. If the issue persists, test the card in another system to rule out hardware failure.

System instability or crashes

Verify that your power supply unit (PSU) meets the minimum 850W requirement and is functioning correctly. Check GPU temperatures; overheating can cause instability. Consider using the 'Silent' BIOS mode to reduce load if the 'OC' mode is too demanding for your system.

LCD screen not displaying correctly or custom content not loading

Ensure you are using the latest version of AORUS Engine or GIGABYTE Control Center. Restart the software and your PC. Check that the custom image/GIF files are in a supported format and resolution. Reinstall the software if problems persist.
