Great-looking GPUs can be a bit of a waste in the wrong setup. With the glass side of your case smushed against a wall, there’s no point getting something pretty if you can’t look inside. However, in Noctua’s case, looks aren’t the only reason to go for its new RTX card (though they certainly help).<\/p>\n

We got a look at the three-fan four-slot RTX 5080<\/a> chonker earlier this year, and Noctua has finally unveiled<\/a> almost all the important specs. It does, however, omit the price.<\/p>\n

According to Noctua, this is the first GPU to have three 120 mm fans, though we’d argue this isn’t technically true<\/em>, as the Cooler Master prebuilt RTX rigs<\/a> have custom GPUs with three 120 mm fans. Though this is definitely the first card to use Noctua’s NF A12X25 G2<\/a>. We think the G2 is the best fan<\/a> out there on the market right now, thanks in part to great airflow throughout the rpm range.<\/p>\n

The new Noctua RTX 5080 has a “thoroughly optimised, custom-engineered heatsink that combines an extensive vapour chamber with seven 8 mm and four 6 mm heatpipes.”<\/p>\n

General manager and corporate vice president of Asus, Kent Chen, says, “We\u2019ve created a solution that delivers exceptional performance with impressively low noise levels.”<\/p>\n
