The TUF GAMING Radeon RX 6800 XT A tenacious beast with a tough metal exterior super-efficient cooling & components that offer enhanced endurance. An all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans with dual ball fan bearings & extra blades. Under the exoskeleton a thick heatsink keeps thermals under tight control & TUF components selected for maximum durability & performance keep the card ahead of the pack. You asked for a mean machine
- this one is ready for action. Key Product Info. Axial-tech fan design has been enhanced with more fan blades & an advanced rotation scheme Dual ball fan bearings can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs An all-aluminum shroud reinforced frame & metal backplate enhance durability Max Contact heat spreader features a super flat surface for enhanced thermal transfer A vented backplate prevents hot air from recirculating through the cooling array GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking thermal controls & system monitoring. Product Features. Bigger better cooling. This generation the Axial-tech fan design has matured with an increased blade count on all three fans 13 on the center fan & 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier rings on the side fans have been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake & to provide better airflow through the cooling array. The center fan's extra blades & full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader. The fan design growth is specifically optimized for a massive heatsink that features more fins & surface area than previous iterations. 2.9-slot design. The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card's large 2.9-slot footprint. Metal coat. A machined all-aluminum shroud creates a robust outer shell & a no-nonsense industrial design & grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease. Armored underside. The underside of the card reveals further 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. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between 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 card's default performance profile without software Functional front The front-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic & functional effects & also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the Radeon RX 6800 XT two 8-pin power connectors are present along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly. Structural pillars of a built-in reinforced metal frame are also visible here & add a literal layer of durability...
