The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 10GB has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive, new Ampere chips from NVIDIA. 19Gbps memory speed 10GB GDDR6X memory Axial-tech fan design Super Alloy Power II GPU Tweak II 3x DisplayPort and 2x HDMI 2.1 The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 10GB features a fresh design and more metal that surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans. Last gen’s uniform fan layout has been usurped by a new rotation scheme and specialised roles for central and 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 and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. You’ve been waiting for the latest and greatest in GPU design – and this is it! NVIDIA Ampere streaming multiprocessors The building blocks for the world’s fastest, most efficient GPU, the all-new Ampere SM brings 2x the FP32 throughput and improved power efficiency. 2nd-generation RT cores Experience 2x the throughput of 1st-gen RT cores, plus concurrent RT and shading for a whole new level of ray tracing performance. 3rd-generation Tensor cores Get up to 2x the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS. Now with support for up to 8K resolution, these cores deliver a massive boost in game performance and all-new AI capabilities. 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.
