The EAGLE series will be Gigabyte's fourth triple-fan design, following the WindForce, Gaming, and AORUS series. The new design is significantly larger than the predecessor (3080 series).

The card now has 3.5 slots and the same 110mm fan design as the RTX 4090 Gaming OC cards. Gigabyte will, however, use the same cooler for the 4090 and 4080 Eagle series. The card has a single 16-pin power connector as well as the standard display output configuration of 3x DP 1.4a + 1x HDMI 2.1. It should be noted that the 3080 Eagle series had an extra DisplayPort, but this is no longer the case for any Gigabyte RTX 40 model. The Gigabyte RTX 4080 EAGLE will be factory-overclocked, but the exact clocks have yet to be confirmed. The AD103 GPU has 9728 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR6X memory in this model. Due to NVIDIA's cancellation of this SKU, there will be no 12GB variant.

NVIDIA plans to release the RTX 4080 on November 16th for $1,199. The RTX 4080 Eagle non-OC is very likely to launch at MSRP because it is one of the lowest tiers in the Gigabyte lineup.
