Product Description
Asus GeForce RTX 5080 Republic of Gamers Astral White OC Graphics Card - ROG-ASTRAL-RTX5080-O16G-WHITE
The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Republic of Gamers Astral White OC Graphics Card explores a new frontier for gaming by delivering real-time ray tracing and the power of AI to your favourite PC titles. The ROG Astral White OC is the first ROG quad-fan graphics card, which is coupled with a patented vapor chamber, increased heatsink fin density, and a phase-change GPU thermal pad for optimal cooling.
Based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, this GPU features 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 256-bit memory interface, offering improved performance over the previous Ada Lovelace-based generation. The front panel of the card features DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 outputs. The RTX 5080 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 10,752 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.
The ROG Astral White features a revolutionary four-fan design, which creates a powerful vertical airflow channel that boosts air pressure by up to 20%. This results in optimal thermal performance that dramatically lowers GPU temperatures and minimizes hotspots, enabling high clock speeds. The addition of a fourth fan means more densely packed heatsink fans for increased cooling potential.
A patented vapor chamber designed with milled pathways allows heatpipes to sink in without flattening, boosting heat dissipation efficiency. The MaxContact design effectively increases the surface area of the GPU heat spreader by 5% for improved thermal efficiency. By melting to effectively fill the gaps between the GPU and the thermal module, a premium phase-change GPU thermal pad provides optimal thermal conductivity and enhanced heat dissipation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for graphics cards under heavy loads.
