BUILT TUFN/AThe TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 has been stripped down and built back up to provide more robust power and cooling. A new all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans that utilize durable dual ball fan bearings. Fan rotation has been optimized for reduced turbulence and a stop mode brings all three fans to a halt at low temps. Beneath independent heatsinks for the GPU and memory keep thermals under tight control. Additional features including TUF components Auto-Extreme Technology a new GPU bracket and a backplate vent make the TUF a proper powerhouse. For builders looking for a new old faithful this card has your back.N/AN/AFANSN/AAXIAL-TECH UPGRADESN/ATUF Gaming cards leverage our tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIAs new high-octane design. The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance and increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings and other bearing types.N/AN/AFANSN/ANEW DIRECTIONSN/AThe two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. And to eliminate unnecessary noise a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.N/AN/AHEATSINKN/AMAXCONTACTN/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/A2.7-SLOT DESIGNN/AThe heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the cards large 2.7-slot footprint. This generation of TUF Gaming graphics cards also feature a dedicated heatsink for VRAM to keep temperatures well under maximum operating specs.N/AN/APCBN/ATUF COMPONENTSN/AComponents are selected for TUF Gaming graphics cards based on their durability and performance. In addition to top-shelf chokes and MOSFETs capacitors that meet military-grade certification make the TUF stand tall amongst the competition. The components are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensure each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications. Finally to ensure flawless performance when it counts the cards are subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial.N/AN/ADESIGNN/AFRESH SHROUDN/AAn all-aluminum shroud adds robust protection to TUF Gaming graphics cards and a no-nonsense industrial design and grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease.N/AN/ADESIGNN/AITS COOLER OUT BACKN/AThe underside of the card reveals a host of improvements. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the cooler. Beneath the GPU a bracket provides consistent mounting pressure between the die and heat spreader. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customization of the cards default performance profile without software.N/AN/ADESIGNN/AFUNCTIONAL FRONTN/AThe top-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic and functional effects and also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfil the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3080 two 8-pin connectors are present along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly.N/AN/ASOFTWAREN/AGPU TWEAK IIN/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. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.N/AN/AQuantumCloud is a safe and easy-to-use application that lets you effortlessly earn extra money by sharing your graphics cards computing power.
