The ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition is a high-performance graphics card designed for demanding gamers and creative professionals. Built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, it features 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 video memory with a 256-bit interface, enabling a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320. The card operates at a boost clock of 2760 MHz in default mode, which increases to 2790 MHz in OC mode, while its 1801 TOPs of AI performance support advanced features like DLSS 4 and neural rendering. To maintain stability under heavy loads, the card employs a sophisticated cooling system featuring a first-of-its-kind quad-fan Axial-tech design and a patented vapor chamber. This is complemented by a phase-change GPU thermal pad and increased heatsink fin density to optimize heat dissipation. The physical build is exceptionally rigid, utilizing a full metal diecast shroud, frame backplate, and a 304 stainless steel I/O bracket, occupying 3.8 slots in your chassis. For connectivity, it provides two HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b ports. Reliability is reinforced through the Auto-Extreme manufacturing process and a protective PCB coating that guards against moisture and debris. Power is delivered via a single 16-pin connector, with a recommended 850W PSU to support its 50-amp MOSFETs. Users can personalize their setup with Aura Sync ARGB lighting and fine-tune performance using GPU Tweak III software. The package includes a dedicated ROG graphics card holder to prevent sag, ensuring the card remains secure in large builds.
