ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X 384-Bit Graphics Card

• Powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture, ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition is equipped with 24GB GDDR6X memory and 8960 CUDA cores.
• The ASUS 12GB graphics card has a base clock speed of 1860MHz and 1890MHz of a Boost clock speed. It is designed to work across 384-bit memory interface.
• Built on Axial Tech technology the dual fan setup is optimal to satisfy the thermal demands of the new Turing architecture. 0dB technology stops the fan once the GPU temperature has fallen below 50°c, reducing power consumption.
• The NVIDIA based GPU supports up to 5 displays at 8K UHD (7680x4320) resolution giving you the ultimate visual experience at your games or at your work space.
• ASUS RTX 3080 is a PCIe 4.0 ready graphics comes with RTX (ray tracing) technology to give you the most realistic visual treat. The GPU Tweak II utility allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time.

Take Flight

From top to bottom, the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive new Ampere chips from NVIDIA and to deliver the next wave of gaming performance innovation to the market. A fresh design and more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans.

Axial Tech Upgrades

The blade count has been increased on all three fans, with 13 on the center fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier ring on the side fans has been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow. The center fan's extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader.

New Directions

To bolster the specialized roles of the center and auxiliary fans, the rotational direction of the center fan has been reversed. This reduces airflow turbulence inside of the cooling array for another boost to the card's overall thermal performance.

NVIDIA Ampere Architecture

The all-new NVIDIA Ampere architecture delivers the ultimate play, featuring advanced 2nd generation Ray Tracing Cores and 3rd generation Tensor Cores with greater throughput.

Ray Tracing

Experience today's biggest blockbusters like never before with the visual fidelity of real-time ray tracing and the ultimate performance of AI-powered DLSS.

DLSS AI Architecture

A groundbreaking AI rendering that boosts frame rates with uncompromised image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX. This gives you the performance headroom to crank up settings.

Max Contact

Manufacturing process that polishes the surface of the heat spreader to improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer.

2.9 Slot Design

The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills a large 2.9-slot footprint. Increasing the heatsink size compared to the last generation provides more thermal headroom to account for the new high-performance chipset.

Fan Connect II

The rear of the ROG Strix graphics card sports two PWM FanConnect headers that provide additional DIY flexibility. Chassis fans can be directly attached to the GPU and tuned with a curve that is based on CPU or GPU temperature.

Fresh Shroud

The ROG Strix features a new face with metal accents that mirror the design aesthetic of ROG and ROG Strix motherboards. Mixing surface textures and materials make a statement when vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs.

Backplate

A wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled by the GPU's circulating cooler design. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader.

Functional Front

A new addressable RGB element can be customized with Armoury Crate to create a uniform look along with other ROG components. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3080, three 8-pin power connectors are present, along with an onboard circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage.

GPU Tweak II

The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display.
