ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card

The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and high-performance gaming innovation, designed to push the limits of what’s possible in gaming and rendering. Powered by NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, it features next-generation Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors and delivers unparalleled performance with a boost clock of up to 1815 MHz in OC mode and 1785 MHz in Gaming mode. The 2nd generation RT Cores offer double the throughput of their predecessors, enabling concurrent RT and shading for groundbreaking ray tracing realism. The Axial-tech fan design has been overhauled for enhanced cooling efficiency, incorporating more blades on each fan—13 on the central fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans—and optimizing airflow with a reversed rotational direction for the center fan to minimize turbulence. The barrier ring on the auxiliary fans has been slimmed for increased lateral intake, while the central fan's extra blades and full-height ring maximize static pressure, directing airflow directly onto the GPU heat spreader. Beneath the fans lies an expanded 2.9-slot heatsink, engineered for demanding thermal loads, with heat pipes and a fin stack that ensure optimal heat dissipation. The heat spreader’s improved flatness enhances contact with the GPU die for superior thermal transfer. Additional design enhancements, such as a wide backplate vent and shortened PCB, improve airflow by directing hot air towards chassis exhaust fans rather than recycling it. The robust stainless steel I/O bracket ensures secure mounting and long-term durability, while the GPU bracket reinforces the connection between the die and heat spreader. The PCB is packed with innovations, including a fortified build for stability and reliability. Complementing the hardware is the ASUS GPU Tweak II utility, enabling users to fine-tune critical parameters like GPU core clocks, memory frequencies, and voltage settings with real-time monitoring via a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control and additional features ensure you can extract maximum performance with ease. Backed by a 3-year warranty, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition offers exceptional performance, durability, and cooling, making it a powerhouse for gaming and professional applications alike.
