Gigabyte has failed to list a large number of graphics card models that it has yet to release, with many featuring GPUs that have yet to be announced. The leak isn’t that obvious as Gigabyte / Aorus hasn’t uploaded or posted product pages or anything so blatant. Rather, as an Nvidia partner participating in Watch Dogs; Legion / GeForce Now Bundle Giveaway Promotion, has listed all of its qualifying graphics cards. Hidden on the Gigabyte / Aorus giveaway page post registration (requires registration), it includes a list of graphics card codenames such as; GV-3060SEAGLE OC-8GD, GV-3070SGAMING OC-16GD and GV-308SAORUS M-20GD.
Credit goes to the eagle-eyed VideoCardz, which discovered the Gigabyte bug. If you still didn’t have a good idea of what the codenames have revealed, VideoCardz provides a helpful translation to typical Gigabyte model names, as follows:
- GV-3060SEAGLE OC-8GD: Gigabyte RTX 3060 (Ti / Super) Eagle OC 8GB
- GV-3070SGAMING OC-16GD: Gigabyte RTX 3070 (Ti / Super) Gaming OC 16GB
- GV-307SAORUS M-16GD: Gigabyte RTX 3070 (Ti / Super) Aorus Master 16GB
- GV-308GAMING OC-20GD: Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC 20GB
- GV-308SAORUS M-20GD: Gigabyte RTX 3080 Aorus Master 20GB
The above are the prominent codenames on the list of cards that qualify for promotions as they are not advertised. We only know officially of the GeForce RTX 3080 10GB, for example, but Gigabyte clearly indicates that it has a 20GB model waiting behind the scenes. Similarly, it seems ready to launch an RTX 3070 with 16GB, instead of 8GB, of VRAM.
Moving down the stack, Gigabyte provides a firm indication that we should expect Nvidia to release GeForce RTX 3060 Ti / Super cards in the not too distant future. The watchdogs; The terms and conditions of the Legion Pack promotion state that the draw lasts “until October 29, 2020 or while stocks last”, so we could expect these Gigabyte GPUs to launch at least a few weeks before the deadline.
On the subject of whether GeForce RTX 3060 cards will have the Ti or Super suffix, we previously reported on expectations that 3060 Ti GPUs would arrive sometime in October. Several of these Gigabyte RTX 3070 and 3080 model code names include an ‘S’, but they are only expected to differ only in the amount of VRAM.
