NVIDIA has finally announced its new GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards, featuring the new Ampere GPU that packs plenty of new features and a pretty promising performance gain over the previous GeForce RTX 20 series graphics cards.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series arrived with some serious performance, at least on paper. Promising impressive gains over the prior Turing generation, the GeForce RTX 30-series also came with massively redesigned coolers. Not only from NVIDIA themselves, but also from their partners. For this generation, ASUS released some beefy-looking TUF Gaming cards, which was quite surprising as the prior TUF Gaming graphics cards were relatively lackluster.

"The Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC is a large card with plenty of cooling, putting up similar performance numbers to the 3080 FE at a higher price — but with a bit of RGB bling and even better cooling."

ASUS has impressed me greatly with the TUF Gaming RTX 3080.

I'd be surprised if this didn’t turn out to be one of the most popular cards this launch, not just for ASUS, but overall.
