For builders looking for a new “old faithful”, this card has your back. AXIAL-TECH UPGRADES TUF Gaming cards leverage our tried-&-true Axial-tech fan design, with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA’s new high-octane design. The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance & increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings & other bearing types. New Directions The two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. & to eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees & power consumption is low. MAXCONTACT To 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. 2.7-SLOT DESIGN The 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.

A wide backplate vent & 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 & heat spreader. The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports & provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows quick selection between “performance” & “quiet” mode for basic customization of the card’s default behavior without software. FUNCTIONAL FRONT Careful attention has been paid to the front of the GPU, as it’s 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 Ge Force RTX 3070 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 Strix’s reinforced metal frame is also visible here, adding a literal layer of durability. GPU TWEAK II The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level.

The components are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB & 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. ITS COOLER OUT BACK The 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 GPU cooler. Beneath the GPU, a bracket provides consistent mounting pressure between the die & heat spreader. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports & provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customization of the cards default performance profile without software. FUNCTIONAL FRONT The top-side RGB element can be customized with Armoury Crate & synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the Ge Force RTX 3080, two 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 so you know the power supply wasnt able to keep up with the GPUs power draw. GPU TWEAK II The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It means that you can tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, & voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display.

Axial-tech Fan Design has been tuned up with more fan blades & a reversed rotational direction for the center fan. 2.9-slot design expands cooling surface area compared to last gen for more thermal headroom than ever before. Super Alloy Power II

Includes:: premium alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, & an array of high-current power stages. GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, & system monitoring. TAKE FLIGHT From top to bottom, the ROG Strix Ge Force RTX™ 3080 has been radically enhanced to accommodate the impressive new Ampere chips from NVIDIA & to deliver the next wave of gaming performance innovation to the market. A fresh design & more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans. Last gens uniform fan layout has been usurped by a new rotation scheme & specialized roles for central & 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, & even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. Youve been waiting for the latest & greatest in GPU design
- & this is it. AXIAL-TECH UPGRADES Our Axial-tech fan design has been optimized for a new, larger heatsink that features more fins & surface area than last gen. The blade count has been increased on all three fans, with 13 on the center fan & 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier ring on the side fans has been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake & to provide better airflow through the cooling array. The center fans extra blades & full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader. MAXCONTACT To get heat up off the die & into the heatsink array to benefit from the new fan design requires special attention. We use a 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 enhanced 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. FRESH SHROUD In addition to under-the-hood design changes, the ROG Strix features a new face with metal accents that mirror the design aesthetic of ROG & ROG Strix motherboards. Mixing surface textures & materials make a statement when vertically mounted & lit by chassis LEDs. For those who prefer a sleeker, more subtle look, the greyscale colorway allows it to seamlessly blend into the build. ITS COOLER OUT BACK Flipping the card around reveals more design improvements. A wide backplate vent & shortened PCB allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled by the GPUs circulating cooler design. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die & heat spreader. The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports & provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows quick selection between “performance” & “quiet” mode for basic customization of the cards default behavior without software. FUNCTIONAL FRONT Careful 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 Ge Force RTX 3080, 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. GPU TWEAK II The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It means that you can tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, & 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.
