The Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti OC 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. The 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. The 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. A 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.
