ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 10GB OC V2 graphics card

TUF Gaming RTX 3080 10GB graphics card

This ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 card carries 10GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus and 8704 CUDA cores. It connects through a PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot and drives up to four displays via two HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The board targets gamers and creators who need 7680 x 4320 resolution headroom. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 support cover modern titles and professional workloads.

2.7-slot dual-fan cooler installation

The card occupies a 2.7-slot profile and measures 11.81 inches long by 5.00 inches high, so verify case clearance and power-supply cables before fitting it. A standard PCIe 4.0 x16 slot accepts the board without adapters, and the dual-fan shroud aligns with typical ATX mounting points. The main issue builders encounter is insufficient length clearance in compact chassis or tight cable routing near the power connectors.

Sustained-load thermal behaviour

Under continuous load the OC mode boost clock runs at 1815 MHz while the default gaming mode holds 1785 MHz, both fed by a 19 Gbps effective memory clock. The 2.7-slot heatsink and dual fans are sized to dissipate the 320-bit memory subsystem and 8704 cores over long sessions without throttling. Expect stable clocks during extended rendering or gaming runs rather than short-burst peaks.
