Asus has announced that new ROG Strix and TUF Gaming graphics cards featuring the long-awaited NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 series of GPUs will soon be available—starting with the GeForce RTX 4090 24GB, RTX 4080 16GB, and RTX 4080 12GB models, these cards are designed for ultra-high resolutions or super-fast refresh rates that help you reign supreme on the battlefield.
Asus’s GeForce RTX 40 Series ROG Strix and TUF Gaming graphics cards feature a 3.5-slot design with tight tolerances to prevent PCB sagging or warping. The Strix variant is 357mm long and uses a rebuilt heatsink design with a new vapour chamber and 30 per cent more surface area compared to previous-generation ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090. The card uses 6mm plus 8mm heatpipes sunk into the vapour chamber which allows for 5°C cooler temperatures than a conventional vapour chamber design, according to Asus.
The brand also claims that its upgraded seven-blades Axial-tech fans provide 23.8 per cent more airflow and 19.3 per cent more pressure than those found on the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090. The board is supplied with 12+4-phase system comprising 70A power stages – two power stages per phase fuelling the GPU, for a total of 24+4.
Finally, all models seem to have a dual BIOS switch that allows you to choose between maximum performance and quiet modes
