NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X AERO OC graphics card

Dell GTX 1080 AERO OC 8GB

This Dell-branded graphics card uses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB of GDDR5X memory. It provides three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port, all with HDCP support. The factory overclock raises the GPU clock to 1632MHz. The card targets serious gaming at high resolutions.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous load the GPU maintains its 1632MHz clock speed without throttling to a lower base frequency. The GDDR5X memory delivers consistent bandwidth for extended gaming sessions. DirectX 12 support allows modern titles to utilise asynchronous compute over long periods. The AERO cooler is designed to keep temperatures stable during prolonged use.

Thermals noise and power

The AERO cooling solution uses a blower-style fan to exhaust heat directly out of the case rear. This design keeps internal case temperatures lower in multi-GPU or compact builds. Fan speed ramps up under load, producing audible but manageable noise levels. Power draw remains within the standard GTX 1080 envelope for an 8GB GDDR5X card.
