COMPARISON

A Touch of Flair

ASUS KO GeForce RTX™ 30 Series GPUs host the new NVIDIA Ampere architecture with some extra shine on performance and durability. Twin fans leverage our Axial-tech design for efficient cooling at low dB levels. Enhancements such as space-grade lubricant, Auto-Extreme Technology, and enduring capacitors keep KO composed for the most demanding scenarios. And a unique shroud takes on gold and silver faceplates with fully-customizable ARGB accents.

COOLING

Axial-tech Fan Design

Better, faster, stronger

Originally the result of R&D efforts for top-end ROG graphics cards, Axial-tech fan design features a smaller fan hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure. The enhanced efficiency allows the fan to keep things cool at low RPMs, resulting in less overall system noise and increased component lifespan.

0dB Technology

Quiet intelligence

To eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.

Space-grade Lubricant

Improved lubricity

Infused with a durable lubricant often found in aerospace applications, these sleeve bearings deliver a quieter acoustic profile than dual ball bearing designs and match their durability.

2.7-slot Design

Sink your heat into this

The KO leverages a 2.7-slot design to gain more heatsink surface area. The extra thermal headroom increases overclocking potential and allows fans to run at even lower speeds in light scenarios.

Dual BIOS

Choose wisely

Do you prioritize low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode lets the fans spin up to keep the card cool all the time. Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings, but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at medium temps. For even more customization and control, check out our GPU Tweak II software.

Engineering

Auto-Extreme Technology

Precision automated manufacturing

Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.

Enduring Capacitors

Outlast the opposition

The KO GPU VRM features capacitors rated to last up to 2.5 times longer than the industry standard.

Vented Backplate

It’s in the vents!

The PCB is reinforced by an aluminum backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace pathways from damage. A vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being cycled back into the GPU cooler.

Stainless Steel Bracket

Steel yourself

The mounting bracket of the KO has been beefed up with 304 Stainless Steel that’s harder and more resistant to corrosion.

AESTHETICS

Unique Design

Polished Shroud

Gold and silver faceplates laced with customizable ARGB lighting give the KO a unique aesthetic fashioned for gamers who prefer to unabashedly showcase their rig on the desktop.

Aura Sync

Outshine the competition

The KO features Aura RGB lighting on the shroud. Aura Sync software connects compatible products for a completely customized lighting setup. You can sync to music, change color based on temperature, or select from a large number of patterns and static options. Look out for the Aura Sync logo when you're picking parts for your build.

Experience

144-hour Validation Program

“Extensive” may be an understatement

Each card must meet rigorous performance and reliability standards before it ships. Performance and stress tests are run with the latest chart-topping titles like Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. We also carry out reliability trials that include a 144-hour stability test and a series of 3DMark benchmarking runs to ensure the card performs well when pushed to the limits.

Subtle Lighting

A bit lit

The shroud features a subtle illuminated strip that creates a stylish accent for your build.

NVIDIA^® G−SYNC™ Technology

Smooth operator

This graphics card supports NVIDIA^® G-SYNC™ display technology for a super-smooth variable refresh rate experience. Enjoy AAA games without the nuisance of screen tearing or stuttering.

Software

GPU Tweak II

Monitor, tweak, and tune

The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.
