The photo confirms that the card will retain the signature style of the Gaming Trio series: a massive shroud thicker than two slots, three fans, presumably 100 mm in diameter, and abundant RGB lighting. Factory overclocking is also expected for the Gaming and Gaming X models, although the top performance spot will traditionally be occupied by the Suprim lineup.
The back of the box reveals details of the new StormForce cooling system, making its debut on the RTX 50-series. The fans feature an increased blade depth, with axial airflow improved thanks to special claws and webs.
The heatsink features a nickel-plated copper base with a mirror finish, ensuring maximum contact with the GPU, supported by Core Pipes — squared heat pipes for optimal heat dissipation. The card comes with a metal backplate.
As a reminder, the presentation of the new RTX 50-series graphics cards based on the Blackwell architecture will take place on January 7 at 5:30 AM Moscow time. A previous leak hints that the GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card will go on sale on January 21.
