We start off this review with our in-house photo-shoot. A few pages that show the ins and outs with photos, to get you a better idea to grasp what we are talking about in today's article (and we just know you like pretty pictures). ASUS is back in the game with this proper looking STRIX model, and it really is quite feisty as well. ASUS used the original TU104 GPU and the rest was built from the ground up.
And here she is, the little sister of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the RTX 2080. It is making use of the same architecture, but don't let that fool you as it does use another GPU, the Turing TU104 graphics processor is tied to 8GB GDDR6 of graphics memory managing an effective data-rate of 14 Gbps. You will a dark designed matte black product with 2x8 phases (ASUS mentioned sixteen, these are eight doubled up) for the GPU, then two for memory and one for the VR link connector. The new revision DirectCU cooler is being used with dandy 'Wing-Blade Fans' style fans. Mind you that the card is tick (2.7 slots), long (almost 31cm) and heavy (near 1.5 kg).
The new model has a triple-fan design. The card has two HDMI ports and two DisplayPort connectors as well as a new virtual link connector for VR purposes.
Founders card:
- Boost: 1800 MHz / Base: 1515 MHz
- Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)
- Boost: 1860 MHz / Base: 1515 MHz
- Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)
The GeForce RTX series has DisplayPort 1.4a ready connectors, enabling support for 8K displays at 60Hz. Lacking and sorely missed is the dual-link DVI connector. The STRIX will look just terrific in a dark themed PC, especially thanks to the Aura RGB LED lighting system, you can match the colors schema of your PC to this card.
