ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X buffed-up design with chart-topping thermal performance.N/AN/ATake FlightN/AN/AFrom top to bottom the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive new NVIDIA Ampere architecture 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. Last gens uniform fan layout has been usurped by a new rotation scheme and specialized roles for central and auxiliary fans. Below the blades a larger more impressive heatsink is ready for the most demanding thermal loads. The PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. You’ve been waiting for the latest and greatest in graphics card design - and this is it.N/AN/AFansN/AAxial-tech UpgradesN/AN/AOur Axial-tech fan design has been optimized for a new larger heatsink that features more fins and surface area than last gen. 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 through the cooling array. The center fans extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the heat spreader.N/AN/AHeatsinkN/AMaxContactN/AN/ATo get heat into the heatsink array efficiently so that it can be whisked away by the powerful Axial-tech fans we use a manufacturing process that improves the surface smoothness of the heatspreader at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die helping to enhance thermal transfer.N/AN/AHeatsinkN/A2.9-slot DesignN/AN/AThe 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.N/A*For illustration onlyN/AN/ADesignN/AFresh ShroudN/AN/AIn addition to under-the-hood design changes the ROG Strix features a new face with metal accents that mirror the design aesthetic of ROG and ROG Strix motherboards. Textured accents in a greyscale colorway blend seamlessly into subtle builds or make a striking impact while the card is vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs.N/AGeForce RTX 3080 Ti GeForce RTX 3080 TiN/AGeForce RTX 3080 TiN/AN/ADesignN/AIts Cooler Out BackN/AN/AFlipping the card around reveals more design improvements. A wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allow hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the cooler. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader. The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows quick selection between performance and quiet mode for basic customization of the cards default behavior without software.N/AN/ADesignN/AFunctional FrontN/AN/ACareful attention has been paid to the front of the GPU as its the most visible part of the card in typical configurations. 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 Ti three 8-pin power connectors are present along with an onboard circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage. The circuit is fast enough to catch any transients that result in the rail voltage dropping too low. If that happens a red LED will light up to indicate a power supply issue. The Strixs reinforced metal frame is also visible here adding a literal layer of durability.N/AN/AsoftwareN/AGPU Tweak IIN/AN/AThe 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.
