ASUS has just announced that new ROG Strix and TUF Gaming graphics cards will soon be available with the long-awaited NVIDIA® GeForce RTX® 4000 series of GPUs, starting with the high-end models GeForce RTX 4090 24GB, RTX 4080 16GB and RTX 4080 12GB.

Powered by NVIDIA's ultra-efficient new Ada Lovelace architecture, the third generation of RTX, GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs are lightning-fast, offering gamers and creators a quantum leap in performance, neural rendering, and more. more features of the leading platform. This huge leap forward in GPU technology is the gateway to more immersive gaming experiences, incredible AI features, and faster content creation workflows. These GPUs push next-generation graphics into the future.

ROG and TUF Gaming graphics cards combine that powerful processing power with a stack of innovations to deliver even higher performance, cooler temperatures, and greater reliability for work and play.

Get the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090

If one wants to make a statement with the best gaming card money can buy, look no further than the new ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090. With unprecedented power, this card is designed for ultra-high resolutions or super-fast refresh rates that they help users to reign on the battlefield.

To extract maximum performance from the Strix GeForce RTX 4090, ASUS has built it with cooling as its top priority. The 3,5 card slot design consists of a die-cast metal frame, cover, and back plate. The ultra-rigid structure uses frames with extremely tight tolerances to prevent the PCB from sagging or warping, while allowing unprecedented airflow through an enlarged pass-through vent along the back of the 357 card. mm length.

But with an ultra-powerful GPU like the GeForce RTX 4090, ASUS wanted to go beyond a big heatsink and a ventilated backplate. So a team of engineers rebuilt the heatsink design from the ground up, with a new vapor chamber and 30% more surface area for heat dissipation than the previous generation ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090.

However, this is no ordinary steam chamber. To provide better heat transfer, this patented vapor chamber design adds milled channels under the heatpipes. Instead of the tubes lying flat against the surface, they sink into the vapor chamber, allowing heat to be transferred more efficiently to the four 8mm and three 6mm heatpipes and travel to the heatsink fins. When subjected to a thermal load of 500 watts, this powerful pairing can achieve temperatures 5°C cooler than a conventional steam chamber design.

ASUS has also upgraded Axial-tech fans, featuring a thicker design with seven blades and full barrier rings that provide 23,8% more airflow and 19,3% more pressure than previous generation fans. used in the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090. With these improvements, ASUS was able to keep GPU temperatures and acoustics at similar levels as the previous generation model, despite the added power.

Speaking of power: this is an absolutely monstrous gaming card, which is why ASUS has included a 12+4 phase system made up of 70 amp power stages. With two power stages per phase powering the GPU, the total number is 24+4. The on-board digital controller offers higher power sensing accuracy, as well as better power conversion and balancing to reduce noise and signal interference. With a quality power supply (such as our ROG Thor 1200P2), users should have no problem powering this beast of a graphics card, and with native 16-pin PCIe® support, they can do so without the need for adapters.

All of this comes with the same high-end features that ROG Strix cards are known for. An ARGB backlight works with Aura Sync to deliver custom lighting throughout the build, while two FanConnect II headers allow case fans to be controlled via GPU temperature readings using new ASUS GPU Tweak III software. For those who don't want to dig in and tweak too much, the Dual BIOS switch allows you to choose between a maximum performance mode and a quieter mode. Though thanks to ASUS 0dB technology, the card will be silent at low loads no matter which mode is chosen.

Finally, like our other ROG cards, the Strix GeForce RTX 4090 was built with the ASUS Auto-Extreme manufacturing process that minimizes human intervention, so users can expect long-term reliable performance right out of the box. box.

Get ahead of the game with the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090

For exceptional performance in a rugged design, the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 has users covered. Slightly thicker than its ROG sibling, at 3,65 slots, the TUF model measures slightly less at 348mm for greater case compatibility, with excellent performance, cooling, and power management.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 uses a die-cast unibody shell that mates directly to an aluminum backplate to reinforce the overall structure and protect the PCB from sagging, while providing plenty of airflow. An updated 3D acrylic TUF logo along the cover provides Aura Sync compatible ARGB lighting, while a detachable velcro loop offers additional cable management options. A huge vent on the edge of the backplate allows even more air to flow through the larger Axial-tech fan fins, providing 20% ​​more airflow than the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti from the past generation.

Like the Strix variant, ASUS has also redesigned the TUF Gaming card's cooling with a new vapor chamber to greatly improve heat transfer. While it doesn't use the same milled design as its Strix sibling, the eight heatpipes - five 8mm and three 6mm - offer a huge leap in cooling potential, with 35% more contact area compared to the TUF. Gaming GeForce RTX 3090. However, like its Strix siblings, you can choose between silent and performance modes with the integrated Dual BIOS switch or tweak the card's performance via the new GPU Tweak III software.

To supply the necessary power, the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 uses the new 16-pin power connector of the PCIe 5.0 standard, which supplies a robust power system, with 20K capacitors and a set of high-current power stages arranged in a 10+4 configuration. Plus, the Auto-Extreme manufacturing process offers robust longevity that lives up to the TUF name, so you can be sure your high-end card will power games for years to come, while sporting a TUF logo that encompasses both the back plate as the frame of the vent for a unique look. Beneath, an updated 3D acrylic TUF logo shines on the edge of the cover with ARGB lighting that can be coordinated with the rest of the PC via Aura Sync. A dual BIOS switch lets you choose between silent and performance modes, or get to manual settings with GPU Tweak III. If you want a high-performance card that truly stands the test of time, equip the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 16GB and strap on your boots.
