ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5080 EVO OC GDDR7 16GB

The ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5080 EVO OC Edition 16GB graphics card delivers high end gaming and creative performance powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Featuring 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of high speed GDDR7 memory across a 256-bit interface, it operates at boost clock speeds of up to 2,685MHz in OC mode and 2,655MHz in default mode, providing the processing power for demanding games, content creation and graphics intensive applications. NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, advanced ray tracing and fifth generation Tensor Cores enhance visual quality and AI-powered performance in supported titles and applications. Designed for compact, high performance systems, the SFF-Ready 2.5 slot design combines a triple fan cooling solution with ASUS Axial tech fans to maximise airflow and thermal efficiency. Additional cooling features include MaxContact technology, a phase change GPU thermal pad, a vented backplate and dual ball fan bearings, while 0dB technology stops the fans under lighter workloads for quieter operation. Dual BIOS provides Performance and Quiet modes, allowing users to tailor cooling behaviour to their preferences. Built with PCIe 5.0 connectivity, the card supports resolutions up to 8K and connects up to four displays through three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b port. It uses a single 16-pin power connector and requires a recommended 850W power supply. With its combination of NVIDIA RTX 5080 performance, advanced cooling and SFF compatible design, the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5080 EVO OC is an excellent choice for high performance gaming PCs and creative workstations.

Cooling

2.5-Slot Design

The Prime GeForce RTX 5080 EVO features a 2.5 slot design with a carefully arranged layout for the shroud, heatsink and heat pipes to let the three Axial-tech fans leverage chassis side-panel ventilation and deliver optimal thermal performance.

Axial-Tech Upgrades

Three tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure for lower temperatures, less noise and higher performance.

0dB Technology

All three fans come to a standstill when GPU temperatures are below 50°C, letting you play less demanding games or perform light tasks in relative silence. Fans start up again when temperatures are over 55°C, establishing a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics for work or play.

For illustration only.

Dual Ball Fan Bearings

Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Dual-ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.

Vented Backplate

Large backplate vents significantly enhance heat dissipation, helping to keep the GPU cooler during intense tasks. This additional airflow helps ensure optimal temperatures, boosting performance, longevity and stability by defending against overheating and thermal throttling.

MaxContact Design

MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.

Phase-Change GPU Thermal Pad

By melting to effectively fill the gaps between the GPU and the thermal module, a premium phase-change GPU thermal pad provides superior thermal conductivity and enhanced heat dissipation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for graphics cards under heavy loads.

Unmatched Reliability

ASUS GPU Guard & Bracket

ASUS GPU Guard applies adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks, while a GPU bracket helps ensure uniform mounting pressure and extra stability.

Protective Backplate

The PCB is reinforced by a backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and to protect components and trace pathways from damage.

Stainless Steel Bracket

The mounting bracket features grade 304 stainless steel, chosen for its strength and high resistance to corrosion.

Engineering

Dual BIOS

Do you prioritise low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode lets the fans spin up to keep the card running cool all the time, and Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings while offering a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at moderate temperatures.
