Asus 2080 ti review: ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080 TI Review

ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080 TI Review

In early 2020, the RTX 2080 Ti is still the king of all graphics cards. So, at CES, when ASUS offered us the opportunity to review their Strix RTX 2080 Ti, we, of course, accepted their offer. ASUS and ROG have been a staple in the PC enthusiast community for many years. Since the Republic of Gamers brand first launched in 2006, products branded with the ROG logo have to meet a higher standard than other products ASUS produces.

The ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti is the flagship card of the ROG line up. But this card is not for the casual gamer. Coming in at a price tag of nearly $1,300 USD, The Strix 2080 Ti will put a dent in budget for your next build. In fact, it may be more than the budget for your average gamer’s entire build. However, if the 2080 Ti is something you’re serious about buying, price shouldn’t be an issue. But, is it really worth spending that much on a graphics card? In this review, we will do our best to answer that question and many more.

ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080TI Review

ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080TI Review

Today we are having an enthusiast-level graphics card for extreme 4K and VR gaming from ASUS for reviewing, a ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080TI 11G OC graphics card.

Powered by the new NVIDIA Turingâ„¢ GPU architecture and the revolutionary NVIDIA RTX platform, the ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080TI 11G OC graphics card bring together and up the real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading to a whole new ultimate PC gaming experience. The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti keep Turing GPU cool with brand-new Axial-tech fans that implement the latest ROG innovations, including a reduced-size fan hub to allow for longer blades and a barrier ring that increases structural integrity and downward air pressure through the heatsink array of the card.

Now let’s see what this ROG RTX 2080TI has for us.

Features

• NVIDIA TURING™: ROG GeForce RTX™ graphics cards are powered by the Turing ™ GPU architecture and the all-new RTX platform. This gives you up to 6X the performance of previous-generation graphics cards and brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to games.
• DirectX 12: Power new visual effects and rendering techniques for more lifelike gaming.
• 4K: Step up to the ultimate 4K gaming experience with GeForce RTX and enjoy today’s biggest games in amazing detail.
• Axial-tech Fans feature an all-around better design and IP5X dust resistance.
• 2.7-Slot Design expands cooling surface area by over 20% compared to last gen.
• MaxContact Technology allows 2X more contact with the GPU chip for improved thermal transfer.
• Auto-Extreme Technology uses automation to enhance reliability.
• Super Alloy Power II includes premium alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, and an array of high-current power stages to fuel Turing™’s cores.
• ASUS FanConnect II equips 2 hybrid-controlled fan headers for optimal system cooling.
• GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking and thermal controls.

Axial-tech Fans — Better, Faster, Stronger

To keep Turingâ„¢’s temperatures under tight control, we’ve brought a larger cooler to the table, which necessitates a more powerful and efficient fan that must maintain a whisper-quiet acoustic profile. Axial-tech meets these three design challenges by implementing our latest innovations for fan performance. We’ve reduced the size of the fan’s hub to allow for longer blades and added a barrier ring that increases structural integrity and downward air pressure through the ROG Strix GeForce RTXâ„¢ 2080Ti’s heatsink array. And we’ve also implemented IP5X dust resistance to seal the fan’s internals from particle ingress to keeps things running smoothly. The new design allows Axial-tech fans to shift more air and spin at higher speeds without increasing noise levels.

2.7-Slot Design— Sink your heat into this

This generation, our top-end cards adopt a 2.7-slot footprint to accommodate a larger heatsink because bigger is better. We’ve increased the overall surface area of our cooling array by over 20% compared to last gen. If you want to squeeze the most out of the ROG Strix GeForce RTXâ„¢ 2080Ti’s performance, our latest design gives you a lot more thermal headroom for overclocking. If you’re just looking for an amazing plug-and-play experience, the extra heat dissipation keeps your fans running at lower speeds while you game.

Auto-Extreme Technology — Precision Automated Manufacturing

All ROG Strix graphics cards are produced using Auto-Extreme Technology, an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry. Traditionally, soldering of through-hole and surface-mounted components needs to be performed in separate stages. Auto-Extreme Technology allows all soldering to be completed in a single pass, reducing thermal strain on components and avoiding the use of harsh cleaning chemicals. The end result is less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product.

Reinforced Frame— Architecture FTW

Our engineers have boosted the ROG Strix GeForce RTXâ„¢ 2080’s structural integrity by 3X with a metal brace that prevents excessive torsion and lateral bending of the PCB.

GPU Tweak II— Monitor, Tweak and Tune

The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card performance tuning and to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, voltage settings, and more with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. From fine-grain performance tuning to advanced fan control, GPU Tweak II has all the tools you need to get the most out of your graphics card.

Aura Sync — Outshine the competition

The ROG Strix GeForce RTXâ„¢ 2080Ti features Aura RGB lighting on both the shroud and backplate. Get Aura Sync software to connect your compatible products for a completely customized gaming setup. You can sync to music, change color based on temperature, or select from a large number of patterns and static options, so make sure to look out for the Aura Sync logo when you’re picking parts for your build.

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti remains NVIDIA’s highest performing mainstream graphics card. Partners are willing to release their versions of devices based on the TU102-300A GPU, so there are many original versions on the market that differ markedly from the reference adapters. Of course, among the best samples of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti are representatives of the ASUS ROG STRIX family. They boast unique printed circuit boards with a reinforced power subsystem, an efficient cooling system and advanced functionality.

Currently in the cage ASUSTeK Computer Inc. There are three models ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with part numbers ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-O11G-GAMING, ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-A11G-GAMING and ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-11G-GAMING. Between themselves, they differ only in the frequency formula: the first has the largest factory overclocking, and the latter is completely devoid of it in the default profile. We also came to the test intermediate version. We’ll talk about him today.

Manufacturer website	ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Packing and delivery set

The video card is supplied in a large cardboard box with bright and easily recognizable printing. On its sides, in a simple and accessible form, all the key features and benefits of ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-A11G-GAMING are described. Particular emphasis is placed on a free 6-month premium subscription to the WTFast Gamers Private Network service. It automatically optimizes the path of game packets between the user’s computer and the game server to minimize their loss and reduce the average response time (ping).

The list of system requirements for the computer in which the video accelerator is planned to be installed is located on one of the sides of the box. Based on the recommendations, the power supply must have a power of at least 650 W and have a pair of 8-pin PCIe connectors in its arsenal.

The adapter comes with a CD with drivers and software, a quick start guide and a pair of branded reusable power cable ties.

External view

Externally, ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Advanced edition looks very solid and familiar: a large 2. 7-slot adapter with a total length of 319 mm with a large fan dotted with many curves and slots for the implementation of branded backlighting.

The reverse side is covered with a massive stiffening plate with a pattern and cutouts for the board components. There is also a large illuminated ROG logo.

Although we were not allowed to disassemble the novelty, but judging by the official drawings and photos of our colleagues, ASUS engineers used the original PCB with the use of high-quality Super Alloy Power II element base. It includes DrMOS microcircuits, solid-state and tantalum-polymer capacitors, as well as ferrite chokes. The power subsystem is reinforced and has 19 phases (16 on the GPU and 3 on the VRAM). A pair of uPI uP9512P chips acts as a PWM controller.

In addition to the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, two 8-pin PCIe connectors are used for power. In total, they can supply up to 375 W of energy (75 W + 2 x 150 W), which should be more than enough even for extreme overclocking using negative temperatures. Recall that the TDP of the reference NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (Founders Edition) is declared at 250 (260) W. Nearby is a pair of LEDs, white and red, to indicate power status. Enthusiasts and overclockers will definitely like the platform for monitoring and changing key voltages.

To combine the computing power of several ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-A11G-GAMING, NVIDIA SLI technology has been implemented, which works through the NVLink interface. Below is the backlight on/off button.

There are three 4-pin connectors in the tail section: two for connecting case fans (ASUS FanConnect II technology) and one for controlling multi-color backlighting (ASUS Aura Sync technology).

There is a BIOS switch on the sidewall that allows you to select two firmware with different fan control algorithms: productive (“P Mode”) and quiet (“Q Mode”).

As with ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC edition, the set of external interfaces includes:

• 2 x HDMI 2. 0b
• 2 x DisplayPort 1.4a
• 1 x USB Type-C

Recall that the reference version of the video card uses only one HDMI, but three DisplayPort.

The test model is powered by a 12nm NVIDIA TU102-300A GPU. It consists of 4352 CUDA cores, 272 texture units and 88 raster units. By default, the “Gaming” profile is used, in which the base frequency of the GPU is 1350 MHz, and the dynamic frequency is 1575 MHz (the reference / Founders Edition indicator is 1545/1635 MHz). In turn, 11 GB of GDDR6 memory from Samsung operates at an effective frequency of 14000 MHz and a bandwidth of 616 GB / s with a 352-bit bus, which is fully consistent with the recommended values.

Using the proprietary GPU Tweak II utility, you can activate two more profiles: «Silent» and «OC». In the first, the dynamic frequency of the GPU is reduced to 1560 MHz, and in the second it is raised to 1590 MHz. You can also store profiles with your own manual overclocking for quick activation.

Cooling system

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Advanced edition graphics card cooler design is similar to ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC edition: a huge two-section heatsink with a nickel-plated copper base polished to a shine (MaxContact technology), and six nickel-plated copper 6mm heatpipes.

The power subsystem contacts the main radiator through a separate plate with a thickening and thermal pad. The remaining elements (part of the VRM and memory chips) are covered with a thick aluminum reinforcing plate. It not only adds rigidity to the printed circuit board, but also takes part in cooling through thermal pads. The stiffening plate performs its direct function and indirectly participates in heat transfer.

The active part of the cooling system is represented by three 88mm fans with Axial-tech design and dust protection (IP5X). Their center section is reduced in size to increase the length of the blades, and a special limiter ring provides structural strength and increased air pressure towards the radiator. All this should increase reliability and improve the ventilation of the entire structure.

With automatic fan speed control, in maximum load mode, the graphics core heated up to 62 ° C at a critical rate of 89 ° C, and the turntables spun up to 1816-1822 rpm (50% of their maximum power). The GPU frequency was raised to 1680 MHz. The background noise, however, was quiet.

For comparison: the cooler of the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Advanced edition provided a result of 73°C when the GPU was running at a lower frequency (1605 vs. 1680 MHz). This is due to a simpler 2-fan design and a lower power limit hardwired into the BIOS.

In the maximum fan speed mode (3311-3163 rpm), the GPU temperature dropped to 52°C. The noise exceeded the limits of the permissible, although the chip frequency remained the same — 1680 MHz. In any case, the margin of safety in CO is very large, and it will definitely not act as a limiting factor during manual overclocking.

As for the cooling system on the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Advanced edition video card, it cooled the GPU to 59°C in the same mode. Again, showing a more modest GPU frequency: 1620 versus 1680 MHz.

In the absence of load, the frequencies of the graphics core and memory were automatically reduced, allowing to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation of the video accelerator as a whole. In this mode, the GPU temperature did not exceed 31°C, and the propellers were spinning at a speed of 874-889 rpm (23% of the maximum), remaining silent. If you activate the “Q Mode”, then the turntables will stop altogether when the temperature drops below 56 ° C.

Practical testing of ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Advanced edition showed very high cooler efficiency and quiet operation in automatic mode. No extraneous noise, for example, in the form of a squeak of throttles, was noticed during the testing process.

we save on the purchase of the GECID.

At the beginning of July 2019, NVIDIA expanded its line of video cards with three models of the GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series. Moreover, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER will exist in parallel with the GeForce RTX 2060, and the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will replace the GeForce RTX 2070 and GeForce RTX 2080 on the market. But the role of the flagship of the current generation will remain for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.

And while we are waiting for these new products for testing, we decided to introduce you to the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Ti video card. It boasts relatively small dimensions and the most affordable price in the ASUS lineup. Let’s first take a look at its characteristics.

Packing and contents

The ASUS DUAL-RTX2080TI-11G video card comes in a stylishly designed box made of quality cardboard. On the front side is a stylized image of its cooling system, and on the back — key benefits and some of the characteristics.

A traditional nice bonus is a free 6-month premium subscription to the WTFast Gamers Private Network service. It automatically optimizes the path of game packets between the user’s computer and the game server to minimize their loss and reduce the average response time (ping).

The list of system requirements for the computer is located on one of the sides of the box. The power supply must be at least 650W and support two 8-pin PCIe cables.

In the kit, we found only standard documentation and a software CD.

Appearance

The ASUS DUAL-RTX2080TI-11G video card has a stylish and discreet design. We are met by the already well-known black plastic casing with a small pattern and a pair of white stripes. There is no LED backlight, because the ASUS DUAL line was created for models with an optimal price-performance ratio.

There is a metal support plate on the reverse side. It is designed to protect the printed circuit board from bending and prevent possible damage to components during inaccurate installation and operation.

If you wish, you can organize a multigraphic bundle of two ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Ti video cards in NVIDIA SLI mode. However, old bridges are not suitable for this purpose — you need to purchase a new NVLink Bridge.

Power is provided by a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and two 8-pin PCIe connectors, conveniently located at the rear of the board. The cooler doesn’t make it any harder to disconnect the PCIe cables.

The reference set of interfaces is used for image output:

• 1 x USB Type-C;
• 1 x HDMI 2.0b;
• 3 x DisplayPort 1.4.

The maximum resolution is 7680 x 4320.

The video accelerator is based on the NVIDIA TU102-300A GPU, manufactured using a 12-nm process technology. Testing was carried out in the «Gaming» mode. The base frequency is declared at the level of 1350 MHz, and the dynamic one is 1545 MHz, that is, it corresponds to the reference indicator. The proprietary GPU Tweak II utility has an “OC” profile with factory overclocking. After its activation, the dynamic frequency rises to 1560 MHz. There is also a «Silent» mode with a reduced GPU speed.

The video memory is made up of Samsung GDDR6 chips with a total capacity of 11 GB, which operate at a reference effective frequency of 14000 MHz. Data exchange between the graphics core and memory is carried out through a 352-bit bus, which is capable of passing 616 GB of information per second.

Cooling system

The ASUS DUAL-RTX2080TI-11G video card with installed cooling system occupies almost three expansion slots (2.7) and has a total length of 279mm, but inside the case it occupies 268 mm.

Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to disassemble the video card, but thanks to the design of the shroud, we can see that the cooler uses a massive one-piece heatsink with transverse fins. There are no heat pipes

A nice bonus is the contact of the elements of the power subsystem and video memory chips with the heatsink using a thermal interface.

As for the fans, ASUS DUAL-RTX2080TI-11G has a pair of 88mm Wing-blade fans. The shape of their impeller has been improved to improve airflow. The turntables are also protected from dust according to the IP5X standard. The last bonus in the order is the passive 0dB mode.

When automatically adjusting the speed of rotation of the fan blades, in the maximum load mode, the graphics core heated up to 73°C with a critical value of 89°C. The turntables were spinning up to 53% of their maximum power (1745 — 1748 rpm). Noise did not exceed the average level and did not interfere with work.

For comparison, let’s take a more powerful 3-fan cooling system for the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC edition video card. In a similar mode, it kept the GPU temperature at 60 ° C with a comparable noise level. But her graphics processor frequency was higher: 1680 versus 1560 MHz for the ASUS DUAL version.

In the maximum fan speed mode (3048 — 3164 rpm), the GPU temperature dropped to 60°C. The noise exceeded the average level and became uncomfortable for constant use.

As for the cooling system on the ASUS ROG Strix video card, it cooled the GPU down to 50°C in the same mode. Its frequency was also higher: 1695 versus 1575 MHz for the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.

In the absence of load, the frequencies of the graphics core and memory were automatically reduced, allowing to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation of the video accelerator as a whole. In this mode, the GPU temperature did not exceed 49°C, and the cooler itself switched to a passive mode of operation. The fans only turned on when the GPU temperature rose above 55°C.

As a result, the cooling system adequately copes with its work and has a reserve for overclocking experiments. It was a little disappointing that during the testing process, extraneous sounds were periodically heard in the form of a whistle of chokes. Perhaps these are features only of our test sample. If this level of efficiency is not enough for you, then you will have to fork out for a model from the flagship ASUS ROG STRIX series.
