ASUS ROG-STRIX-LC-RTX3080TI-12G-GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB graphics card

Liquid-cooled RTX 3080 Ti for 4K gaming

The ROG STRIX LC pairs a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU with a closed-loop liquid cooler, targeting enthusiasts who want 12 GB GDDR6X memory and 10240 CUDA cores for 4K gameplay and heavy compute tasks. It connects through a PCI Express 4.0 slot and draws up to 350 W, so an 850 W supply with three 8-pin connectors is required. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 for modern APIs.

Hybrid cooling keeps clocks stable under load

A 240 mm radiator and pump assembly move heat away from the GPU die, allowing the boost clock to hold at 1695 MHz in OC mode or 1665 MHz in Gaming mode during extended sessions rather than throttling after a short burst. Memory runs at 19 Gbps across a 384-bit bus, sustaining bandwidth for large textures and frame buffers. The hybrid design also reduces acoustic output compared with air-only coolers at equivalent power.

Reinforced frame and modern display outputs

A metal backplate and shroud stiffen the PCB, protecting solder joints when the card is mounted vertically or transported. Two HDMI 2.1 ports and three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors drive up to four monitors at 7680 x 4320 resolution, covering high-refresh 4K panels and VR headsets without adapters. HDCP 2.3 compliance ensures protected content plays back correctly.
