Product Description

ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTXTM 3080 GUNDAM EDITION

ROG Strix GeForce RTXTM 3080 GUNDAM EDITION is a special-edition graphics card geared toward fans of the anime series. Its white shroud and backplate with red, blue, and yellow accents clearly project the RX-78-2 GUNDAM vibe, and Earth Federation Space Force (E.F.S.F.) and GUNDAM mech design flourishes along the front edge of the card surround an ARGB element that can be customized to highlight your allegiance. For GUNDAM fans looking to upgrade or build a themed gaming rig, your time has come.

COOLING DESIGN FIT FOR RX-78-2

Akin to the RX-78-2 GUNDAM’s heatproof field, an upgraded Axial-tech fan design with more fan blades dynamically pumps air out of the graphics card to combat heat for truly stratospheric performance.

MASSIVE HEATSINK

With stature similar to the gargantuan mech, an enlarged 2.9-slot heatsink helps rapidly expel heat from the new high-performance chipset. The expanded cooling surface area, compared to the previous generation, delivers more thermal headroom than ever before.

MAXCONTACT

To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array to benefit from the new fan design requires special attention. We use a manufacturing process that polishes the surface of the heat spreader to improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer.

2.9-SLOT DESIGN

The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills a large 2.9-slot footprint. Increasing the heatsink size compared to the last generation provides more thermal headroom to account for the new high-performance chipset.

Fan connect

The rear of the ROG Strix graphics card sports two PWM FanConnect headers that provide additional DIY flexibility. Chassis fans can be directly attached to the GPU and tuned with a curve that is based on CPU or GPU temperature, providing extra intake or exhaust for demanding 3D tasks.

FUNCTIONAL FRONT

Careful attention has been paid to the front of the GPU, as it's the most visible part of the card in typical configurations. A new addressable RGB element can be customized with Armoury Crate to create a uniform look along with other ROG components. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3080, three 8-pin power connectors are present, along with an onboard circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage. The circuit is fast enough to catch any transients that result in the rail voltage dropping too low. If that happens, a red LED will light up to indicate a power supply issue. The Strix's reinforced metal frame is also visible here, adding a literal layer of durability.

Premium Components

Top-shelf capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs are selected to effortlessly deliver hundreds of watts at a millisecond's notice. The Super Alloy Power II parts are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensures each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications.
