ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced Strix GeForce\u00ae<\/sup> GTX 1080, an all-new VR-ready gaming graphics card with ultra-fast gaming performance, advanced cooling and reliability, and personalized styling.<\/p>\n

Powered by the latest GeForce GTX 1080 graphics processing unit (GPU), clocked at 1936 MHz in OC mode, ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 delivers up to 6.5% faster performance in 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme and 7.4% faster gaming performance in Hitman\u2122<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 is packed with exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU III with a patented triple wing-blade 0dB fan designed to deliver maximum airflow for 30%-cooler and three times (3X) quieter performance, and ASUS FanConnect, which features GPU-controlled fan headers for targeted supplemental cooling.<\/p>\n

Industry-exclusive Auto-Extreme technology with Super Alloy Power II components ensures premium quality and reliability.<\/p>\n

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 enables complete gaming system personalization with Aura RGB Lighting.<\/p>\n

A VR-friendly design with two HDMI ports lets gamers always keep a virtual reality device connected to their system for immersive gaming anytime.<\/p>\n

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 is equipped with ASUS DirectCU III cooling technology, which features direct-GPU-contact heatpipes that transport more heat away from the GPU, outperforming reference designs and achieving up to 30% cooler gaming performance.<\/p>\n

DirectCU III technology includes triple 0dB fans, engineered with a patented wing-blade design that delivers maximum airflow and improves static pressure over the heatsink by 105%, while operating at three times (3X) quieter volume than reference cards.<\/p>\n

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 also comes with ASUS FanConnect technology.<\/p>\n

When gaming, the GPU often runs hotter than the CPU, but chassis fans usually only reference CPU temperatures, resulting in inefficient system cooling.<\/p>\n

ASUS FanConnect solves this issue with two 4-pin GPU-controlled headers that can be connected to system fans to provide targeted supplemental cooling for optimal thermal performance.<\/p>\n

Premium quality and reliability: Auto-Extreme technology with Super Alloy Power II components<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All ASUS graphics cards are now produced using Auto-Extreme technology, an industry-exclusive, 100% automated production process that incorporates premium materials to set a new standard of quality. Auto-Extreme technology ensures consistent graphics card quality as well as improved performance and longevity.<\/p>\n

This new manufacturing process is also environmentally friendly, eliminating harsh chemicals and reducing power consumption by 50%.<\/p>\n

Super Alloy Power II components enhance efficiency, reduce power loss, provide two times (2X) reduced component buzzing while under full load, and achieve thermal levels that are approximately 50% cooler than previous designs for enhanced quality and reliability.<\/p>\n

Game your way: Aura RGB Lighting and VR-friendly HDMI ports<\/strong><\/h3>\n
