ASUS RTX 3080 TUF OC Review & Tear-Down: Thermals, Noise, & Overclocking
This review of the ASUS RTX 3080 TUF video card closely looks at noise, thermals, noise-normalized thermals, and more vs. the 3080 FE and Eagle.

In this review of the ASUS RTX 3080 TUF video card, we're (1) making fun of the "military-grade" terminology," but two, looking at actual performance of the card. Testing includes GDDR6X memory thermal testing, GPU thermals, noise-normalized performance and acoustics, testing versus the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founders Edition and Gigabyte Eagle, and a tear-down of the RTX 3080 TUF. Disassembly includes some key notes on RMA accessibility and fans in the TUF.
ASUS' RTX 3080 TUF will eventually be here on Amazon: https://geni.us/ae6AWMg
