ASUS ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti features integrated pump & radiator
The ROG Matrix integrates a pump and radiator under the shroud, enabling closed-loop cooling without requiring more space than an air-cooled card
ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced the Matrix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. The Matrix name is reserved for exceptional products that leap forward, exceeding innovation and performance expectations. The ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the latest graphics card to earn this pedigree by introducing Infinity Loop, a unique all-in-one closed-loop cooling system that is integrated into the card’s 3-slot footprint. Each Matrix GPU has been binned and tuned to deliver the best out-of-the-box TuringTM experience, raising the bar for graphics horsepower in small chassis and air-cooled builds.
- The Matrix features a unique all-in-one closed-loop cooling system
- The 3-slot footprint brings previously impossible performance to small chassis and air-cooled builds
- Each card is binned and tuned to deliver top out-of-the-box clock speeds
Developing the Matrix’s Infinity Loop cooling technology presented many new design challenges for the team and took more than five rounds of prototyping with industry partners. The result is a unique solution that seamlessly integrates pump, tubing and radiator under the shroud. Infinity Loop beats competing hybrid designs with 120mm radiators and goes head to head with 240mm radiator configurations, all in the space of three slots.
Binned and Tuned
In order to target extreme out-of-the-box clock speeds, the custom circuit board from ROG Strix cards is used for Matrix, allowing an aggressive binning process that pushes the GPU core to 1815MHz and memory to GDDR6-14800MHz — overclocks that the only the top 5% of cards can achieve. Tailored BIOS profiles based on the new clock targets and control curves for the three Axial-tech fans are then loaded, ready for new owners to hone with GPU Tweak II software.
- Engine Clock (OC Mode):1815MHz (Boost Clock), 1350MHz (Base Clock)
- Engine Clock (Gaming Mode):1800MHz (Boost Clock), 1350MHz (Base Clock)
- 11GB GDDR6 Memory
- Memory Clock: 14800 MHz
- TDP 300 Watt

1600 doesn't shock me really.
Here in EU all 2080 TI with nearly same "out of box" performance cost 1475€ Which equals in roughly 1500$
And i don't wanna know how much research was involved to get this thing working.
Will await review with pleasure.

Well, anyone with the corresponding money amount, should always aim for the top pick among its class. If I could afford an RTX 2080ti, this would be my choice.

That's a really cool idea. I'd love to see the cooling performance. If this works well, it may end up being the way forward for high end cards in the future.
