• Cooling: Triple‑fan TORX Fan 5.0, nickel‑plated copper baseplate, metal backplate, “Core Pipes” for heat dissipation :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Dimensions: 303 × 121 × 49 mm :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• Outputs: 3 × DisplayPort 2.1b, 1 × HDMI 2.1b; supports up to 8K @ 120Hz or 4K @ 480Hz (with DSC / HDR) :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Features & Highlights

• “Plus” version adds a better cooling solution (more heat pipes, improved baseplate, enhanced airflow) compared to non‑Plus variants. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
• Zero‑Frozr fan stop at low loads to reduce noise. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Support for modern APIs and features: DirectX 12 Ultimate, DLSS 4, higher quality ray tracing, OpenGL 4.6, etc. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Considerations

• Large power draw — need good PSU (850 W) and proper power connector (16-pin / 12VHPWR) :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
• Card is fairly long and thick (2.5 slots) — check case compatibility. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
• Thermals and noise under heavy load can be noticeable; proper case airflow is important. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
