After seeing the RTX 3070 Noctua, ASUS launches its new graphics card designed in collaboration with a famous brand of cooling system. Indeed, today is the ASUS X Noctua RTX 3080 which is announced.
ASUS lance la RTX 3080 Noctua
Almost six months following collaborating with Noctua for the GeForce RTX 3070, ASUS announces a new model with the GeForce RTX 3080. However, we are not on the latest version, in fact this model has 10 GB of VRAM unlike the 12 GB of the model released last January.
This model remains very close to the RTX 3070. Indeed, the cooling solution and the size of the PCB are very similar. Only the size of the heatsink is necessarily bigger in order to fit the GA102 GPU of the RTX 3080. As for the design, we are on the same line as on the TUF RTX 3080 series. In other words, food need two 8-pin PCIE connectors (6 + 2 pins). Then we find no less than three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors et two HDMI 2.1. Enough to satisfy big gamers hungry for screens, big FPS, but above all silence.
As a reminder, the DisplayPort 1.4 standard allows you to take advantage of a bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps. In other words, we can go up to 4320p30Hz, 2160p120Hz or even 1440p240Hz. HDMI 2.1 meanwhile has a bandwidth of 48 Gbps. It allows you to enjoy 4320p30Hz, 2160p120Hz or even 1440p360Hz.

In addition, for cooling, fans used are NF-A12x25 by Noctua. Excellent references and are of a 120mm size, enough to cool the ASUS GPU. On the other hand, the sink takes up quite a place, because the GPU ultimately occupies 4 expansion slots.
