![]() I presume this is to support GPU supports, although I am not exactly sure if you will need it considering the buff build of the all-aluminium shroud and thick backplate. On the other end of the card we see six heatpipes sticking out, as well as an extension with two screw holes, bent from the backplate. While the GeForce RTX 3090 is probably what you want to game at those resolutions, it is nice to know that the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 will allow you to use two 8K60 displays. HDMI 2.1 is going to be the next big thing for NVIDIA, allowing the GeForce RTX 30 series to support up to 8K 60Hz displays without compression. The RGB illumination is here on the side, with the TUF Gaming emblem and a small bar under it lighting up to satisfy RGB enthusiasts.ĪSUS went beyond the reference design for the GeForce RTX 3080 with the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 offering three DisplayPort 1.4a and two HDMI 2.1 ports. It measures in at 2.7 slots, which is the same thickness as last-gen flagship ROG Strix cards. While the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 might seem rather thick from this angle, it is actually one of the thinner models already from ASUS. I do quite like what looks like diagonal tyre marks, which adds a touch of fancy to an otherwise boring part. This no-frills design is also carried over to the backplate, which sports a vent for hot air to pass through the heatsink and out the back of the card, instead of forcing all of it to exit through the sides. The triple Axial-tech fans and the sturdy aluminium shroud makes the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 look like it absolutely means business. This is definitely the nicest looking TUF Gaming graphics card ever till date. I guess we gotta collect ’em all, eh?ĪSUS really went back to the drawing board for the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080, with a beefy design that is arguably better than even their premium ROG Strix cards. ![]() And oh the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 also comes with a rather interesting trading card. Hopefully that will be the case for the retail units as well, as I really doubt anyone who gets one of these will still have an optical drive bay to use the CD. In the box are the usuals, although I think that because we received a pre-release sample, the usual driver CD is missing. Why are there cutouts in the foam though?
