▷ Asus rog strix rtx 2080 review in Spanish (full analysis)?

We continue to analyze the new graphics cards based on the Turing architecture of Nvidia, today we offer you the review of the Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080, one of the best cards we can find on the market, which includes many details such as a large heatsink and a advanced RGB lighting system to delight even the most foodies.

First of all, we thank Asus for the trust placed in giving us the product for analysis.

Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Technical Features

Unboxing and design

The presentation of this Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 graphics card follows the style of Asus ROG. A gala staging, with a high quality box, made of very resistant cardboard and full color printing.

Presentation is a differential point in big brands, and Asus never disappoints in this regard. The box informs us of the most outstanding features of the card, such as Nvidia's Turing architecture, Aura Sync lighting and all the benefits of DirectCu III cooling, the best on the market.

We open the box and we find the card perfectly protected by a dense foam frame, thus ensuring that it reaches the end user's hands in the best possible conditions. Next to the card we find the following bundle:

Finally we see a close-up of the Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080, an impressive card from the first moment, and that is the culmination of all the experience accumulated by the brand throughout its history. The Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 looks very robust and very well built, the quality of all the materials is immediately evident.

The Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 card uses the DirectCU III cooling solution, which is approximately 2 cm higher than the standard heatsink of the Nvidia Founders Edition. This makes the dimensions of the card 30 x 13 cm.

It is a large heatsink formed by a dense aluminum fin radiator, which is crossed by six high-quality copper heatpipes. Asus has placed a frontplate that transports heat from memory and VRM to the main heat sink.

There is also a backplate, which has the function of adding rigidity to the assembly and protecting the delicate components on the back of the PCB. In this case, there are no heating pads between the hot areas of the PCB and this back plate, although there is an LED ornament with the ROG logo.

Nvidia has released the Nvidia GeForce RTX series at a time when silicon manufacturing technology is not advancing at the same speed as it was four years ago, destroying the semiconductor giants' architectural path forecasts, forcing them to design innovative new architectures. at existing manufacturing nodes. Gross increases in transistor counts are no longer a viable option, and Nvidia needed an excellent new feature to sell the new cards.

That new feature is RTX technology, a real-time raytracing model for game developers. It is not yet possible to create the entire scene with raytracing, but the results with the use of RTX are better than anything that can be achieved with traditional rasterization. To get even those few bits of raytracing right, an enormous amount of computing power is required. Therefore, Nvidia has implemented specially designed hardware components in its GPUs, called RT cores, which are located alongside the CUDA multipurpose cores.

To these RT nuclei are joined the Tensor nuclei, specialized components that have the function of multiplying matrices, which accelerate learning and the construction of neural networks. Although it's a GPU for the gaming client segment, Nvidia feels that GPU-accelerated artificial intelligence could play an increasingly important role in GameWorks effects, and a new image-quality enhancement technique called Deep-Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS).

This ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2080 is manufactured with a custom designed PCB, with a strong VRM design to offer factory overclocked speeds of 1515 MHz on the GPU, with a Boost of 1710 MHz. This card mounts the TU104 core, consisting of nothing less than 2944 CUDA Cores, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. To all this must be added 64 RT cores and 368 Tensor Core, those special cores that are in charge of making the new Nvidia RTX ray tracing technology work.

To power all of this, the Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 uses two 8-pin power connectors. This input configuration is specified for up to 375 watts of power consumption. In doing so the manufacturer ensures that there is no lack of power, even under the most extreme overclocking.

We appreciate a small SMT button that allows you to quickly turn off all the LED lighting on the card. These settings are remembered while the card is powered, so it persists during reboots, but not when it is turned off.

Connectivity options include two standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports, two HDMI 2.0b and a VirtualLink connector, which is basically USB-C with DisplayPort and USB-PD routing, so a single cable can power, display, and receive information on your glasses of VR. It also offers two 4-pin PWM fan headers to sync your chassis fans with the graphics card and an addressable RGB header.

Nvidia has updated its display engine with the Turing microarchitecture, which now supports DisplayPort 1.4a with support for lossless DSC. Combined, this allows support for 8K at 30Hz resolutions using a single cable, or 8K at 60Hz when DSC is enabled. DisplayPort 1.4a is the latest version of the standard that was released in April 2018.

Test bench and performance tests

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	Intel Core i7-8700K

For benchmarks we will use the following titles:

• 3DMark Fire Strike normal.3DMark Fire Strike 4K version.Time Spy.Heaven Superposition.VRMARK.

All tests have been passed with the filters to the maximum unless we indicate otherwise. In order to have adequate performance, we have carried out three types of tests: the first is the most common at Full HD 1920 x 1080, the second resolution is making the leap for 2K or 1440P (2560 x 1440P) gamers and the most enthusiastic with 4K (3840 x 2160). The operating system we have used has been Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and the latest drivers available from the Nvidia website.

What are we looking for in the tests?

First, the best possible image quality. The most important value for us is the average FPS (Frames per second), the higher the number of FPS the more fluid the game will go. To differentiate the quality a bit, we leave you a table to assess the quality in FPS, but we will also have the minimum Fps in the tests that were thus possible:

FRAMES BY SECONDS
Frames for Seconds. (FPS)	Gameplay
Less than 30 FPS	Limited
30 ~ 40 FPS	Playable
40 ~ 60 FPS	Good
Greater than 60 FPS	Fairly Good or Excellent

Synthetic benchmarks

Game Testing

We have decided to make the leap to checking various games manually. The reason? Very simple, we want to give a much more realistic vision and cover tests with current games. We've revamped the old 2016 Tomb Raider for this new Shadow of the Tomb Raider compatible with Ray Tracing.

Software and overclock

Note: Remember that overclocking or manipulation carries a risk, we and any manufacturer are not responsible for improper use, use the head and always do so at your own risk.

We recommend that you install the EVGA Precision application in its latest version, since it allows us to measure the overlcock capacity that our graphics card will offer. Although we do not see that it gives us a 100% reliable overclock.

Well after performing our tests and taking several hours to check a stable overclock. We have managed to raise only 90 MHz in the core.

Final words and conclusion about Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080

The A sus ROG Strix RTX 2080 is one of the best RTX graphics cards we've tested. A sink that removes hiccups, good performance, scandal temperatures and a spectacular RGB design with AURA technology.

At the performance level we see again that it does not differ much from the reference model. We see that driver updates will see higher performance in the coming months. ASUS has done a great job with this graphics card.

We recommend reading What graphic card do I buy?

Keep in mind that this graphics card occupies three slots and at the cooling level it cannot be better. With great temperatures and that at rest keeps the fans stopped.

Its price in Spain ranges from 1019 euros. As we can see, it is not the cheapest model, but one of the most complete models, incorporating a custom PCB and a spectacular heatsink.
