The ASUS RoG Matrix RTX 2080 Ti is put on sale, a monstrous graphic based on a liquid cooling system with an unaffordable price.

Today the new ASUS RoG Matrix RTX 2080 Ti graphics card is officially launched. This graphics card is not designed for common mortals, we are talking about a monstrous graphics for the most demanding gamers. We are talking about a high quality graphics, with an advanced cooling system and that comes with a lot of overclocking. A graphic that is not only a monster, it also has a huge price

ASUS RoG Matrix RTX 2080 Ti, a graph of biblical proportions

To power this graphics card we have two 8 + 8 phase PCIe connectors. A total of 16 + 3 VRM phases have been integrated, so that the voltage reaching the GPU is of the best quality. The graphic has a specific aluminum frame to dissipate the heat from the VRM phases. The front of this graphic hides an aluminum radiator for liquid cooling. A total of three Axial-Tech Fans have been arranged to dissipate the heat, to dissipate the heat efficiently and offer a low noise level.

Underneath the liquid cooling block is a rather thick copper block to cool the GPU. The cooling block has a double chamber system connected by micro-channels, through which the water circulates. A graphic reinforced by a backplate, which will prevent its PCB from bending due to the weight of the system.

The specs on this ASUS RoG Matrix RTX 2080 Ti are no small feat. We have TU102 silicon that has 4352 CUDA Cores. A GPU that works at a base frequency of 1350MHz and in Boost mode can reach 1815MHz. Regarding the 11GB GDDR6, these go from the 14GHz of reference to the 14.8GHz of this model. As we have already discussed, you only need 8 + 8 pin PCIe thing for power. Something curious, since normally three of these connectors are needed.

This graph is complemented by a 0dBA system, which means that up to a certain temperature, the fans do not work. It has a length of 310mm and the price of this graphic will oscillate between 1749-1799 euros, according to the seller.
