This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins.

To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array to benefit from the new fan design requires special attention. On the front of the terminal you can see the corresponding names of the compatible graphic card types. Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components. ASUS builds on this technology with a product targeted at premium gaming PC builds and overclockers, as the card offers many conveniences for both kinds of users. The initial launch of Ampere for consumers entails the GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6, RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X, and what we test today, the 24GB GDDR6X based premium flagship, the mighty mo, the GeForce RTX 3090.The EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi GPU water block enclosure is compatible with ROG Strix and ASUS TUF RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards. The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 OC Edition sports a rather polarizing design that’s a stark departure from the more organic design of its predecessor.

The PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves, and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. Flipping the ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3090 OC over, we can see the backplate, which is made from plastic, and a large section that is uncovered which will aid in cooling the RTX 3090. The sum of the ROG Strix’s cooling innovations results in lower fan speeds and raises the performance threshold for achieving a sub-55 degree GPU temp, at which point the fans can shut off completely.

There are grooves cut into it, presumably to improve the overall appearance while also increasing the surface area to better cool the rear-mounted VRAM modules that the GeForce RTX 3090 needs to be able to offer 24GB of GDDR6. This will run anything i throw at it efforlessly and running it on a PG35VQ in 3440x1440 itll hit the 200fps in many titles at ultra, pubg easily for example. Compared to the previous-gen SM on the Turing-architecture GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the new SMs offer 2x FP32 throughput for superior performance. You'll see that most cards out there will all tweak to roughly the same levels due to all kinds of hardware protection kicking in. The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 OC supports the DirectX standard from Microsoft in version 12_2 (Ultimate).

Port Royal tests the raytracing performance, and we see that the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 OC Edition comes out on top again.

The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 OC Edition delivers the impressive performance of the GeForce RTX 3090, and then some, but doesn't exactly live up to the expectations set by its chart-topping predecessors in the ROG Strix family. Please note the above quotation is an indicative cost and actual monthly payments may vary by +/- 2p per month. The Asus ROG Strix 3090 OC is very well built and quiet, runs games blazingly fast and no other gpu can currently touch it for rasterisation performance - like or loathe Nvidia, it is the best card available. On GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, we are introducing 2nd Generation RT Cores, which have up to 2x the throughput.
