ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC: 16GB GDDR7 Blackwell card for 4K gaming with quad‑fan cooler, 12V‑2x6 power, 357.6mm length, HDMI 2.1b x2 and DP 2.1b x3.
Released January 30, 2025, the ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition is part of NVIDIA’s Blackwell‑based GeForce RTX 50 series. The Astral line debuts ROG’s first quad‑fan vapor‑chamber cooler to handle this ~400 W‑class GPU.
Positioned in the enthusiast tier, it exists to deliver no‑compromise 4K play with heavy ray tracing while stopping short of RTX 5090 pricing. With 16GB GDDR7 on a 256‑bit bus, DLSS 4, and creator‑class codec support, it’s well suited to 4K gaming, content creation/rendering, and high‑FPS 1440p. The 357.6 mm, 3.8‑slot card requires ample case clearance, a single 16‑pin 12V‑2x6 (12VHPWR) lead, and an 850 W PSU; outputs are 2× HDMI 2.1b plus 3× DisplayPort 2.1b. Still current; not discontinued.
