Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 OC edition 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card

The ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 delivers a completely renewed PC gaming experience. Powered by the NVIDIA Turing GPU design and the innovative RTX platform, RTX graphics cards combine real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. Featuring TBD GPU boost and memory clock in OC mode for an outstanding gaming performance. Keep things cool with Axial-tech Fans, dust-resistant allowing maximum airflow. Match your card’s RGB LEDs to your system using Aura Sync software or turn them off with a stealth mode button The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 features Aura RGB lighting on both the shroud and backplane. Get Aura Sync software to connect your compatible products for a completely customized gaming setup. You can sync to music, change color based on temperature, or select from a large number of patterns and static options, so make sure to look out for the Aura Sync logo when you're picking parts for your build. Want to turn off all the lights? ASUS have outfitted the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 with a convenient stealth mode button. Give it a press and you'll instantly transform from a master of the color-verse into a stealthy ninja. ASUS have brought a larger cooler to the table, which necessitates a more powerful and efficient fan that must maintain a whisper-quiet acoustic profile. Axial-tech meets these three design challenges by implementing our latest innovations for fan performance. The size of the fan’s hub has been reduced to allow for longer blades and added a barrier ring that increases structural integrity and downward air pressure through the heatsink array. IP5X dust resistance has been implemented to seal the fan's internals from particle ingress to keeps things running smoothly. The new design allows Axial-tech fans to shift more air and spin at higher speeds without increasing noise levels. 0dB technology allows fans to stop spinning when the GPU core temperature remains below 55 Celsius, letting you enjoy light gaming in complete silence. If temps rise, the fans automatically start up again. The RTX GPUs are powered by the Turing Architecture; this gives you 6 x faster performances over previous-generation graphics cards. Turing uses a new 12nm manufacturing process and also brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your games. The GeForce RTX 2080 delivers truly unique real-time ray-tracing technologies for cutting-edge, hyper-realistic graphics; this means the RTX 2080 is light years ahead of other cards and gives you the most realistic gaming experience ever. The RTX cards also are the first graphics cards to feature GDDR6 memory that has a speed of 14Gbps (14,000 MHz). The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card performance tuning and to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, voltage settings, and more with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. From fine-grain performance tuning to advanced fan control, GPU Tweak II has all the tools you need to get the most out of your graphics card. Top-end cards adopt a 2.7-slot footprint to accommodate a larger heatsink because bigger is better. ASUS have increased the overall surface area of our cooling array by over 20% compared to last gen. If you want to squeeze the most out of the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080's performance, the latest design gives you a lot more thermal headroom for overclocking. If you're just looking for an amazing plug-and-play experience, the extra heat dissipation keeps your fans running at lower speeds while you game. MaxContact is an industry-first technology that utilizes precision machining to create a heat spreader surface that makes up to 2X more contact with the GPU chip, resulting in improved thermal transfer. All ROG Strix graphics cards are produced using Auto-Extreme Technology, an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry. This allows all soldering to be completed in a single pass, reducing thermal strain on components and avoiding the use of harsh cleaning chemicals. Do you prioritize low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode will let the fans spin up to keep the card running cool all the time. Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings, but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at medium temps. For even more customization and control, check out our GPU Tweak II software. ASUS FanConnect II features two 4-pin, hybrid-controlled headers that can be connected to both PWM and DC system fans for optimal system cooling. Connected fans react to GPU and CPU temperatures, so that your system is optimally cooled no matter what you do. A comprehensive set of tuning options allow you to tweak fan speeds for your preferred balance of cooling and acoustics. By combining advanced VR rendering, real-time ray tracing, and AI, the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 will take VR to a new level of realism. Cable management is much improved with VirtualLink, which utilizes an Alternate Mode of USB Type-C to provide a quick, single-cable connection for next-generation VR headsets.
