Video card ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition - 90YV0LV0-M0NA00

ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition is a high-end GPU from the new Blackwell generation, aimed at gamers and enthusiasts who want the most from current hardware. You get an RTX 5080 graphics processor with 10752 CUDA cores, an aggressive boost clock up to 2790 MHz, and 16 GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus. The combination of high frequencies, the new architecture, and PCI Express 5.0 interface provides serious resources for high resolutions and heavy settings. The card is OC Edition, meaning it is factory overclocked and optimized for higher boost frequencies compared to reference values.

What you get

With 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM at 28 Gbps on a 256-bit bus, you have enormous bandwidth that helps with high resolutions, heavy textures, and mods, as well as working with large scenes in 3D software. 10752 CUDA cores provide serious parallel resources for modern gaming, rendering, and GPU-accelerated tasks. Boost frequency up to 2790 MHz in OC mode reliably squeezes the potential of the Blackwell chip, while the 4 nm manufacturing process helps for better efficiency under load compared to older generations. With up to 4 simultaneous displays via 3 DisplayPort and 2 HDMI, you can create a multi-monitor setup for streaming, work, and gaming simultaneously, without worrying about where to connect the next screen.

• The graphics processor RTX 5080 (Blackwell) provides a new generation Nvidia architecture, oriented towards high resolutions and heavy visual effects.
• 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM with 28 Gbps speed ensures serious bandwidth for modern games and professional applications.
• 256-bit memory bus balances capacity and bandwidth, so the card feels comfortable both at 4K and with heavy texture packs.
• 10752 CUDA cores provide a large parallel resource for gaming, GPU rendering, and accelerated calculations.
• Boost clock up to 2790 MHz (OC mode) and 2760 MHz (Default mode) raises performance above standard reference frequencies.
• PCI Express 5.0 interface ensures maximum compatibility with the latest platforms and sufficient bandwidth for the future.
• 3 x DisplayPort and 2 x HDMI with support for up to 7680x4320 resolution allow for up to 4 displays in one setup.
• Active cooling and power through 1 x 16-pin connector facilitate integration into modern high-end configurations.
• Support for DLSS 4 opens the door to higher FPS through frame generation and upscaling in games that support it.

Who it is suitable for

This GPU is aimed at gamers targeting 1440p and 4K with high settings, as well as people working with 3D, video, or other CUDA-accelerated applications. It is also suitable for multi-monitor setups for streaming and productivity, where multiple screens are essential. If you are looking for a budget solution for casual gaming or do not have a PSU and case that can handle a serious high-end card, it is probably better to look for a lower class.

The strongest aspect of this model is the combination of Blackwell architecture, 16 GB GDDR7 on 256-bit, and high boost frequencies, gathered in the OC version, ready directly for serious gaming and work.
