Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 30 Series Specifications
The Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, the Strix GeForce RTX 3080 comes with 10GB of GDDR6X memory, and the Strix GeForce RTX 3090 comes with 24GB of GDDR6X memory. All three graphics card models use the newest PCIe 4.0 interface. They also feature two native HDMI 2.1 outputs and three native DisplayPort 1.4a ports.
The Strix line uses three axial fans that provide increased static pressure to move air through its heat sinks. They have a 2.9 slot footprint, which means they will take up three spaces for almost three slots in a case. FanConnect II headers allow PWM fans to be tuned based on CPU and GPU temperatures for better thermals. They have a dual BIOS feature that allows you to switch between “performance” and “quiet” profiles with a physical switch. You also get addressable RGB lighting that can be customized via Armory Crate software.
