Asus TUF RTX 3080 Ti OC G 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card NVIDIA features Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors. It features a boost clock 1785 MHz (OC mode)/ 1755 MHz (Gaming mode). 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. The Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive new Ampere chips from NVIDIA and to deliver the next wave of gaming performance innovation to the market. You can experience 2X the throughput of 1st gen RT Cores, plus concurrent RT and shading for a whole new level of ray tracing performance. Axial-tech Fan Design has been tuned up with more fan blades and a reversed rotational direction for the centre fan. A fresh design and more metal surround a grouping of Axial-tech fans. Last gen's uniform fan layout has been usurped by a new rotation scheme and specialized roles for central and auxiliary fans. Asus TUF RTX 3080 Ti OC blade count has been increased on all three fans, with 13 on the centre fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier ring on the side fans has been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow through the cooling array. The centre fan's extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader. Below the blades, a larger, more impressive heatsink is ready for the most demanding thermal loads. The heat spreader draws heat up into heat pipes 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. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer. Asus TUF RTX 3080 Ti OC PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves, and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. A wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled by the GPU's circulating cooler design. Asus TUF RTX 3080 Ti OC GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between the die and the heat spreader. The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports and provide a more secure mount.

Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card. Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC comes with 2 Years of Warranty.

Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC 12GB GDDR6X Review

Asus TUF RTX 3080 Ti OC reasoning for this is simple, Nvidia aims to make more money as long as this GPU boom lasts. Now, if you don't believe Nvidia is selling GPUs directly to miners, which happens to be our opinion, then it's AIBs and/or distributors who are selling to miners in volume. It must be great to be selling all those RTX 3090, but letting go of slightly defective GA102 silicon for less than half the price probably stings a lot right now. For the effort, Nvidia is throwing in an extra 2GB of VRAM, an 18% increase in cores, and the wider 384-bit memory bus. Essentially you have an RTX 3090 with half the VRAM since we're talking about ~2.5% fewer cores than the 3090 flagship. Even at 4K, the RTX 3090 was on average just 13% faster than the original RTX 3080, so you can expect the 3080 Ti to be very similar to the 3090 in terms of performance and possibly ~10% faster than the 3080. That makes the 3080 Ti as pointless as the 3090 for gamers, given at the MSRP it should cost a little over 70% more than the 3080, for maybe 10% more performance, or well beyond the point of diminishing returns. That's probably not a great way to start this review, but there's no mystery to uncover here. Sometimes with these refreshes we get an odd mix of core and memory configurations, but in this instance the 3080 Ti has basically the same memory subsystem as the 3090 with a few less cores. With that said, let's go over a few benchmarks using the Founders Edition RTX 3080 Ti card. Please note all benchmark results are based on AMD and Nvidia GPUs running at the official specification, so no factory overclocking. In total, we've tested 12 games at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. We've also got power, overclocking and ray tracing data to go over. It's also worth noting that all this data is fresh, after weeks upon weeks of testing we have all our benchmark data updated on the new Ryzen 9 5950X testbed, which has been configured with 32GB of dual-rank, dual-channel DDR4-3200 CL14 memory. Let's get into the results...
