ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix 10GB GDDR6X
The 8704 CUDA cores and 10GB of GDDR6X memory on the 320-bit bus drive high frame rates at 1440p and solid 4K gaming, while the Axial-tech triple-fan cooler and metal shroud keep the 1935MHz boost clock stable under load. Dual HDMI 2.1 ports offer more flexibility for multi-display or VR setups than typical cards, and the 2.9-slot design fits many mid-tower cases. This card is best for 1440p high-refresh gamers who also want strong ray tracing performance without stepping up to the RTX 3090.
