the r-tx 2006 feelings between that of ups and downs though this card right here the asus strix rog 2080 TI is definitely one of the uppers when it comes to this line of Turing graphics cards booting straight into the details over clocks this thing was a solid overclock and gaining about a hundred and forty mega Hertz on the core and memory close to that of two hundred megahertz this enabled as I'll put up on the graph here a max core clock of nineteen hundred and sixty five megahertz out of the box and when overclocked it hit an absolute mind-boggling 2115 megahertz on the core and the best thing was it still managed to do so whilst remaining relatively quiet though more on that later this enabled this card right here to pull anywhere from thirty to fifty percent ahead in the benchmarks as we'll see later when compared to that of the custom gigabyte r-tx twenty eighty overclock we have here and also the gtx ten ATT IOC that is also here in the tech yes studio so strap on in ladies and gentlemen because this one is about to get hot pretty and downright ugly that weird analogy of course relates to the inner struggle between you and your wallet because make no doubt about it the twenty atti is an expensive car the Asus 2080 TIR og Strix weighs in at about 1.4 7 kilograms is triple slot in my eyes though Asus officially call it 2.7 times it has RGB LED lighting on the rear sides and underneath of the card that is controllable via software and can connect to or a sync on your motherboard and other components there are 380 mil axial fans that feature an all-round better design than previous models that are IP 5x dust resistant to something I'll test in due time with the data back of course Asus are also implementing Auto extreme technology which has to do with soldiering of the components on the card itself it's automated and it's all done in one pass heading to the fact that it would be more reliable product which will go the longer distance it also in my opinion has one of the best aesthetics of any gravis card to date though of course how does it perform it both 1440p ultra wide and 4k might you ask well pulling up the first graph here for you guys far cry 5 1440p showing that there's a small boost at this ultra wide setting at this stage it was only taking the lead here by roughly 20% but 4k results were soon to show that this was more of a CPU limitation at 1440p ultra wide and honestly a cpu limitation on a demanding title like far cry 5 on maximum settings at 21 by 9 1440p is no small feat might add I'm running these tests on a 78 20 X at 4.5 gigahertz - and ddr4 memory is running at 3200 megahertz moving on with scum the results showed anywhere near a 30 to 35 percent gain in 1440p ultra wide and then moving on to 4k showed a similar trend continuing though pub G was soon to show what the rog r-tx 28 ET i was really capable of gaining roughly a 40 to 50 percent boost over the other cards here I honestly had to go back and double-check these numbers to make sure but sure enough 1440p and 4k showed some massive gains allowing the overclock on this graphics card itself to flex over even its default clocks moving on with destiny just a PG friendly benchmark of me playing some soccer at the farm and 1440p showed an average framerate pulling ahead by again roughly 45 to 51 percent compared to the 1080 a4k continued a similar trend managed to cap an impressive 52% overclocked first overclocks though I could have received a golden sample here well maybe that's just a Zeus's claims of implementing the best style of air cooler in the biz are showing some truth there was pretty eye-opening to see how aggressive the results were when and looking at the overclocked numbers they're looking at our simulator twenty-eight ATP World of Warcraft benchmark this is over double the pixels of 4k by the way things came back down a bit here to reality and our simulated results only showed a 24 to 27 percent increase over the 1080 Ti and the r-tx 2080 then around a 30 percent difference overclocked versus overclocked next up we had the infamous Crysis 3 and that question that didn't get answered in the RT X 2080 review if you haven't seen it I'll put it up here was can it run Crysis at 4k and we were honestly so close to that magical 4k 60fps number it was disheartening it got almost there 58 fps when it was overclocked and we're using very high settings which is pretty much the max settings you can use with two times MSAA and here it's scored overclocked verse overclocked around about a 38 to 49% lead over the other two top dogs in the race and non OSI 30 and 40 percent over the 20 80 and 1080 Ti respectively though 1440p was roughly the same as 4k so the cpu limitations were not present in either benchmarks the Final Fantasy 15 benchmark they do say it does have DL SS enabled this netted some massive gains for the 2080 ti not just over that of the 1080 ti interestingly enough but also its little brother the 2080 it was nearly a 33 and 36 percent gain overclocked versus overclocked first the boys and nonno seesaw at 27 and 30 percent increase respectively and moving on with some other simulated benchmarks and these are pretty important because unfortunately I don't have any other 20 atti cards here to compare the ROG card to so it's going to give you the viewer a rough estimate of how well this card can perform at both stock and at overclocked settings and the overclocked settings indeed show nearly a 10% boost in performance over the stock settings which is massive especially on a flagship card but at all showed how well the card could pull ahead of both itself and the 1080 TI scoring about 48% more points and roughly 40% more than the r-tx 2080 from gigabyte though fire strikes showed a mere 23% increase over the 1080 TI and roughly 30% over the r TX 2080 guess it needs more magical eye candy for a really to pull ahead of course at this stage it is important to mention that I'm still yet to come into any real world applications that utilize tensor cause and ray tracing the star reflections demo is capped at 24 fps and it's just not really a good benchmark to get any really solid indicator of performance with these graphics cards especially since there's no gameplay involved in it though back to the Strix itself power consumption was quite big both stock and overclocked coming in well ahead of that of both the 2080 and 1080 TI stock total system power consumption is up nearly 31 percent compared to that of the 2080 and 15% compared to the 1080 ti overclocking sees the consumption balloon out to 47% and 30% respectively of course with a lot more CUDA cores of 4352 then both the 2080s 2944 and 1080 is 3584 it is bound to use a bit more power it also features the faster GD dr6 memory same as the 2080 and has 11 gigabytes of it versus 8 gigabytes on the 2080 and 11 gigabytes of gddr5 X on the 1080 Ti it also just like the 1080 TI features a mind-boggling 352 bit wide memory boss bigger than that of the 28 is 256 bit though fan speeds are noise this is where azusa's implementation of their cooler proved that the 20 80 TI rogue Strix showed they could easily keep the heat under control and the sweet spot here was 60% fan speeds in my opinion though people who hate noise will be glad to see that I actually had to physically stop the CPU cooling fans to get an accurate reading of 39 dB when it was on auto so yes the temperatures went up to 75 degrees on auto but the noise was ridiculously low for a flagship card and the fans only spun up to 35% I mean it could just be that this Strix here is indeed the best Strix of them all the max call clocks as we mentioned before showed that this card pulled well ahead in the overclocking department so it seems azusa's claims to having the best implementation of a cooler a coming to fruition beating that of gigabytes low power consuming twenty eighty by roughly five percent lastly finishing off on the features the card features a three year warranty as an additional button to turn RGB LED lighting off instantly and when this card is set to auto that's the out of the box settings it has a silent fan feature when the idle on the desktop the fans will just simply stop spinning it also has a fatter PCB at eleven and a half centimeters at least compared to the standard design of the r-tx 2080 we have here it also has two eight pin connectors USB type-c at the back and two display ports and two HDMI 2.0 outs which I do prefer is a lot of people that I build pcs for do tell me they like having a HDMI for their basic monitor and one for VR so it fits the bill nicely it also has a clean back plate with the ROG I RGB shining through and finally there is a brace going through the side of the card to help prevent GPU sag quite a nice idea since the card is very heavy and bulky so when it all comes down to what this card right here is a beast out of all the graphics cards I have tried in the past I like this thing the most only ever so slightly over the hall-of-fame design however I did really like that too but I'm honestly not liking the price tag it is very expensive for a gaming graphics card make no mistake I actually don't know the official MSRP in Australia but going by previous years of ROG Strix cards will most likely command a slight premium over the reference MSRP at the moment in videos 1199 USD founders card Oran oz 1899 is to slot has a massive amount of unnecessary metal on it that doesn't help to cool the card and doesn't look anywhere near as good as this card right here in my opinion so if it's anything to go by the premium is going to be easily worth it for basically a card that has had everything beefed up on it from the PCB to the vrm to the cooler which will enable you to overclock to higher levels of performance or have extremely low levels of noise which on a flagship is dare I say highly desirable yes it's expensive and no you're not going to get the best frames per dollar but I can't help but actually like the 20 atti a lot more than the 20 80 especially as it actually gives us something new and that is higher performance over the existing flagship but if you are in the market for this card then you're going to know that you either want it or you don't and if you are that person who wants a 20 80 TI and you want the best of the best then this is certainly going to deliver that and if premium is what you are prepared to pay then this thing will definitely give you a premium experience anyway guys hope you enjoyed today's review if you did then be sure to overclock that like button let me know in the description below have you ever used a republic of gamers card if so what was your experience like with it if not do you want one love rating your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in the next Tech video very soon peace out for now bye just buy it
