ASUS RoG STRIX GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Graphics Card Review

Acoustic, Thermal and Power Testing

Acoustic Performance

With a heat sink that looks big enough to cool industrial hardware, this card can, rather amazingly, still run completely passive up to around 60c. Even when the fans kick in it’s far from the loudest card we’ve ever tested, and around 5 dBa quieter than the blower cooler on the stock Nvidia 1080 Ti.

Thermal Performance

Another blinding result here, with the card running almost 20c cooler than the stock card… that’s insane.

Power Usage

This card does use a lot of power, but it’s far from inefficient, as we’ve seen in our test results it’s not wasting that power, it’s turning it into FPS at a savage pace.
