Asus releases its rtx strix, dual and turbo graphics cards

With the arrival of the new generation of graphics cards, ASUS joins the different brands offering its first personalized models with which they seek to position themselves as the best option on the market. Let's meet their new releases!

ROG Strix, Dual, and Turbo Series GeForce RTX Graphics Cards

The new models belonging to the Republic of Gamers series try to reach enthusiasts with a custom PCB that wants to ' squeeze out every drop of GPU performance' , and include a VRM of up to 16 power phases (RTX 2080 Ti) that will take advantage of all turbo frequencies and allow stable overclocking of GPUs.

Structural support is another important issue that the brand has considered, so the frame of the new Geforce RTX STRIX is reinforced to offer greater resistance and prevent graphics from bending. It is something that is combined with the metallic backplate on the back.

It seems that we will find highly effective cooling, proof of this is the heatsink used in the new Strix models and its large dimensions, perfect to take on the extra consumption of the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti compared to its predecessors. The heatsink is so thick that the graphics card takes up almost 3 PCIe slots. Furthermore, it allows you to operate in a semi-passive mode until temperatures reach 55ºC.

As expected, there is no shortage of RGB ASUS Aura lighting, and one of the aspects that has most interested us in the new STRIX is the inclusion of two connectors for box fans with control compatible with PWM and DC. It is something super interesting, since they can be controlled depending on the temperature of the graph, and they will solve the lack of connectors for ventilation that are in many current boards.

The brand also announced two other graphics card models: the DUAL and TURBO. In the case of the first, this basic model will also occupy 2.7 slots like the STRIX series, and will include a backplate. Important improvements over the last generation. Regarding the TURBO, it is the turbine model intended for use in multi-GPU environments.

The prices of these graphics cards in dollars (USD) are as follows: RTX 2080 Ti Dual for $ 1, 240, RTX 2080 Ti Turbo for $ 1, 210, RTX 2080 ROG STRIX for $ 870 and RTX 2080 Dual for $ 840.
