Important AI Performance Note

The product title states 1858 TOPs AI Performance, but ASUS's current official specification for model TUF-RTX5080-O16G-GAMING lists 1801 TOPs.

For an accurate product listing, 1801 TOPs is the safer specification to use unless the exact regional unit or revision you have is documented differently.

Advanced Cooling Design

The TUF Gaming RTX 5080 is built around a large cooling solution intended to handle sustained high-performance gaming workloads.

Key design priorities include:

• Large multi-slot cooling system
• Multiple cooling fans
• High-airflow heatsink design
• Efficient GPU heat dissipation
• Designed for sustained gaming loads
• Heavy-duty TUF Gaming construction

The card occupies 3.6 expansion slots, so case clearance should be checked carefully before installation.

PCI Express 5.0

The RTX 5080 uses a PCI Express 5.0 interface.

It is designed for modern high-performance gaming PCs and can be installed in compatible full-size PCIe x16 motherboard slots.

Power Requirements

ASUS recommends an 850W power supply for this graphics card.

• Recommended PSU: 850W
• GPU power connector: 1 × 16-pin
• 1-to-3 adapter cable included
• PSU requirements can vary depending on CPU and overall system configuration

ASUS notes that its 850W recommendation is based on a system configuration with an overclocked GPU and CPU.

Aura Sync ARGB

The TUF Gaming RTX 5080 OC Edition supports ASUS Aura Sync ARGB, allowing compatible lighting to coordinate with other Aura Sync components and peripherals.

This makes it suitable for gaming PCs with synchronized RGB lighting.

Dimensions & Case Compatibility

• Length: 348 mm
• Height: 146 mm
• Thickness: 72 mm
• Slot Requirement: 3.6 Slots

Because this is a particularly large graphics card, users should verify:

• GPU length clearance
• GPU thickness clearance
• Front radiator clearance
• Motherboard slot spacing
• Power-cable clearance

before installation.
