Features NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors: The building blocks for the world s fastest, most efficient GPU, the all-new Ampere SM brings 2X the FP32 throughput and improved power efficiency. 2nd Generation RT Cores: Experience 2X the throughput of 1st gen RT Cores, plus concurrent RT and shading for a whole new level of ray tracing performance. 3rd Generation Tensor Cores: Get up to 2X the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS. Now with support for up to 8K resolution, these cores deliver a massive boost in game performance and all-new AI capabilities. Axial-tech Fan Design has been tuned up with more fan blades and a reversed rotational direction for the center fan. 2. 9-slot design expands cooling surface area compared to last gen for more thermal headroom than ever before. Super Alloy Power II includes premium alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, and an array of high-current power stages. GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring. TAKE FLIGHT From top to bottom, the ROG Strix Ge Force RTX(TM) 3080 has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive new Ampere chips from NVIDIA and to deliver the next wave of gaming performance innovation to the market. A fresh design and more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans. Last gen s uniform fan layout has been usurped by a new rotation scheme and specialized roles for central and auxiliary fans. Below the blades, a larger, more impressive heatsink is ready for the most demanding thermal loads. The PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves, and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. You ve been waiting for the latest and greatest in GPU design - and this is it. AXIAL-TECH UPGRADES Our Axial-tech fan design has been optimized for a new, larger heatsink that features more fins and surface area than last gen. The blade count has been increased on all three fans, with 13 on the center fan an
