RTX ON is RT + DLSS Performance Mode (10 Series is RT only, not capable of DLSS). ## Innovative Design New dual axial flow through design delivers the highest possible thermal performance without compromising fan acoustics. This innovative design reinforces the natural air flow in the chassis for a quieter and cooler gaming system. **NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture** delivers the highest performance and performance per watt. **GDDR6X**, the world’s fastest graphics memory, enables faster frame rates. New port supports 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz as specified in **HDMI 2.1**. **Power supply phases** deliver power efficiently, with headroom for overclocking. **PCIe Gen 4** allows more bandwidth for detailed textures to build more complex worlds. **The front fan** pushes hot air out extra-large bracket vents. Individually shaped fins direct airflow for better cooling. **The revolutionary back-side fan** draws air through the card toward the natural top and rear chassis exhausts. **The hybrid vapor chamber** includes a heat pipe heat-sink that efficiently distributes heat and allows air to flow through. **The short PCB and high-density layout** are enabled by a new 12-pin power connector, allowing more space for airflow through the cooling fins. **The exposed fin-stack** visually elevates and functionally enhances the airflow-centric design. Together with the unibody frame, this offers maximum rigidity and fin-stack volume with minimum air resistance. ## **Get Faster Performance With NVIDIA DLSS** ### **Max FPS. Max Quality. Powered by AI.** Get a performance boost with NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling).
