Gigabyte Announces Aorus RTX 5080 Infinity and Infinity Wood Graphics Cards

Gigabyte has added two new GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards to its Aorus lineup, introducing the Aorus GeForce RTX 5080 Infinity 16G and the Aorus GeForce RTX 5080 Infinity Wood 16G. Both models were first shown during Computex 2026 and are now listed on Gigabyte and Aorus product pages, although retail availability remains unclear in major US and European markets.

The two cards use the same RTX 5080 hardware configuration, including 10,752 CUDA cores, 16GB of GDDR7 memory, a 256 bit memory bus, and a listed boost clock of 2805MHz. They also require a single 16 pin power connector and an 850W power supply.

The main difference comes down to appearance. The standard Infinity model uses RGB lighting around the cooling fan area, while the Infinity Wood edition adds wood grain detailing to its shroud for a more unusual premium look.

Both RTX 5080 Cards Use Gigabyte’s New Cooling Design

Gigabyte has equipped the two Aorus models with its Windforce Hyperburst cooling system. The design uses two visible fans at the front, a hidden third fan, and a double flow through heatsink layout.

The company says the cooling system is designed to improve airflow through the heatsink by using two rear openings in the backplate. This should allow more heat to escape from the graphics card compared with designs that use a closed backplate or only one airflow opening.

High end RTX 5080 cards are expected to generate significant heat during gaming, rendering, and AI workloads, so cooling performance will be important for sustained boost speeds and lower noise levels.

Project Stealth Design Hides the Power Cable

Both cards support Gigabyte’s Project Stealth design. The power connector is placed inside the card structure rather than being exposed at the top edge in the usual way.

A magnetic backplate cover helps conceal the cable, creating a cleaner look inside a PC case. This could appeal to builders who want a more organised gaming setup without a visible 16 pin GPU cable running across the motherboard area.

The design may also work best in cases with enough room around the graphics card. Builders should check cable clearance carefully, especially when using compact cases or thick side panels.

Availability and Pricing Have Not Yet Been Confirmed

Gigabyte says the RTX 5080 Infinity and Infinity Wood models are now available. However, neither card appears to have reached major retailers in the US or Europe at the time of the announcement.

That could mean the first shipment is limited to selected regions, or that retail listings are still being prepared. Gigabyte has not confirmed official pricing or a full regional launch schedule.

The company is also preparing more Infinity models. Aorus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Infinity 16G and Aorus GeForce RTX 5070 Infinity 12G graphics cards are expected to follow in July.

For now, the new RTX 5080 models stand out less for their specifications than their design. The Infinity Wood version in particular gives PC builders another option beyond the usual black, white, or RGB heavy graphics card styles.
