The WINDFORCE cooling system features two 100mm fans with unique blades. The heat pipe makes direct contact with the GPU, and together with alternately rotating active 3D fans and screen cooling, it ensures highly efficient heat dissipation. This reduces turbulence from the adjacent fans and increases air pressure. GIGABYTE rotates the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, further reducing turbulence and increasing air pressure. The airflow is divided by the triangular fan edge and gently directed through the 3D strip curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing airflow. The 3D active fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans remain off when the GPU is under low load or low power during gaming. This allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is idle.

Gigabyte's Gaming OC needs a lot of space in the case for its three 75-millimetre fans. At 28.4 centimetres, it is the longest card in the test, but it gets by with two slots and, at 11.6 centimetres high, barely protrudes above the slot bezel. In addition to two DisplayPorts, two HDMI outputs are screwed onto it...
