For the upcoming GeForce RTX 4080, ASUS has launched a variety of self-built cards, the highest of which is the overclocked ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080. Let’s take a look at the performance of this graphics card with a prodigal eye. !

ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 uses precision die-casting all-metal chassis. The ingeniously designed thick structure can effectively support the giant body with a length of 357.6mm and a thickness of 3.5 slots, and maintain the rigidity of the PCB.
The heat dissipation power is three 104mm axial fans with guide rings. The direction of the central fan is different from that of the left and right sides, which reduces turbulence and noise while improving airflow. air and air pressure. The impeller bearing adopts double ball structure, so it is also stronger than ordinary oil/fluid seal bearings.
The main body of the chip contact heat sink is a super large vapor chamber, with a groove milled on the other side, which allows you to embed 7 heat pipes without being flattened, thus improving the heat conduction performance of the chip. tube heat.
ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 prepares 10+3 phase power supply for GPU chip and memory and configures 12VHPWR terminal. The PCB adopts a short board design, which accounts for only about 6% of the total length of the graphics card, and the remaining space is left for the radiator to flow, thus improving the efficiency of ventilation inside the case.
The air outlet on the back of the graphics card uses the thickness of the metal backplane to sculpt a three-dimensional, textured ROG Prodigal Eye logo. There are also two sets of temperature controlled PWM fan contacts on the far end, providing further DIY flexibility. The tail end is covered with LED lamp beads, which support Aura Sync synchronous lighting effect.
If you are still worried about the card bending after a long time, ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 provides a graphics card support bracket that can be turned into a screwdriver. Also provides 1 set of 3 sets of PCIe 8 pin to 12VHPWR terminal power transfer cables.

According to the data discovered by GPU-Z, the overclocked ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card is compared with the original NVIDIA version, the Boost clock is overclocked from 120Hz to 2605Hz, the default power consumption limit is reduced from 320W to 360W and the maximum power consumption limit Relaxing from 355W to 420W makes it more flexible for overclocking.
3DMark
In 3DMark’s Time Spy test simulating DirectX 12 games, the graphics score of the overclocked ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 version is about 3.3 ~ 3.4% higher than that of the NVIDIA Founding Edition. The overall score on the Speed Way test, which simulates DirectX 12 Ultimate gaming, leads by about 1.9%.
gaming performance
In terms of gaming measurement, the average frame rate of the overclocked ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 version with 4K 2160p resolution is about 2.5% ahead of NVIDIA’s initial release, and WQHD 1440p is 2% ahead.
Energy consumption vs. temperature
Due to overclocking, the maximum power consumption of the overclocked ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 version measured by the NVIDIA PCAT tool is nearly 30W higher than that of the NVIDIA founder version. However, due to the excellent heat dissipation design, the temperature Maximum GPU temperature is actually 1.4°C lower. Memory temperature is also 2°C lower.
Recap
The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 overclocking version channel price is NT$49990.
To be honest, compared to the basic version of the graphics card, the price increase of the high-end graphics card is not fully reflected in the performance. It is more about providing better materials, dazzling appearance design, and longer warranty period. long Checks if the user’s budget can support it.
In the first GeForce RTX 4080 sales event held at 10:00 PM on November 16, ASUS will give away 3 TUF Gaming TF120 ARGB fans (with controller) at a market price of NT$1590. Access to the official website will give away a price ROG Herculx graphics card support bracket market price of NT $ 1290, friends who are interested in buying may wish to make more use of it.
