ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Review -
Product Showcase
The 1080 Ti takes advantage of Pascal 16nm FinFet architecture, and with 12 billion transistors, 3584 shader/stream cores, and 11 GB of GDDR5X, it’s a rather impressive product. In Ultra HD it can advance up-to 15% maybe even 30% in performance over the GeForce GTX 1080 as you will learn.
The GPU empowering the product is called the GP102-350-A1 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has a nice 3,584 CUDA cores, while texture filtering is performed by 224 texture units. The reference cards have a base clock frequency of 1,480 MHz and performs texture filtering at 332 Gigatexels/sec.
The reference cards have a 250 Watt TDP (ASUS did not list the TDP in its guide), 75 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 150+150 Watts through the and 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connectors. That's plenty spare for a nice tweak. If you look a notch to the right of the connectors, you'll see empty PCB traces for even 3rd connector, 6-pin. It is not in use though.
The Pascal display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0b support, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti can be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs.
At the rear you stubmble into the LED strip header, as well as two extra fan headers that will spin attached fans at the graphics card fan RPM.
The Asus ROG Azoth keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. The last one from Asus ROG I had my hands on was the Claymore II (in 2021, a wireless 100% keyboard that earned a “Recommended” award). This time it’s the 75% form factor wireless keyboard initially shown at the CES 2023. What we’ll find interesting about this product? It’s not using the Cherry MX switches. Still, the custom-made ASUS ROG ROG NX (hot-swappable, pre-lubricated) switches are offered here, aimed at gamers and professionals.
