The RTX 3070 very well, but he couldn’t bear the temptation of the RTX 3080. After grabbing the graphics card, he sold the RTX 3070 and replaced it with the long-awaited RTX 3080. However, the troubles caused by RTX 3080’s super high power consumption and temperature are far greater than the joy of upgrading the graphics card.
The high-end graphics cards of the NVIDIA and ADM generations are not low in power consumption, especially NVIDIA’s RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, with TDP up to 320W and 350W respectively. When fully loaded, it can easily increase the temperature inside the case by 10 degrees. Above, even the hard disk and CPU are forced to run at high temperatures.
If you switch to water cooling, the above troubles will no longer be troubles. Recently, ASUS introduced a high-end graphics card equipped with a water-cooled radiator, but this generation of ASUS’s first high-end graphics card that uses water-cooled heat dissipation is not an N card with higher power consumption, but an A card, which is the ROG STRIX LC RX 6800 XT GAMING.
Asus took advantage of the ROG STRIX Radeon RX 6800 XT PCB and its own ROG STRIX LC 240 RGB version of the Flying Dragon water cooling radiator, coupled with a custom water block, combined to become ROG STRIX LC Radeon RX 6800 XT.
ROG STRIX LC Radeon RX 6800 XT inherits the excellent workmanship of the Raptor series, designing a 17-phase SAP II super alloy power supply circuit, all-polymer tantalum capacitors, and Texas Instruments’ 60A DrMOS.
It can be seen from the parameters of GPU-Z that the basic frequency of ROG STRIX LC Radeon RX 6800 XT has been increased from 2015MHz in the public version to 2110MHz, and the acceleration frequency has been increased from 2250MHz to 2360Mhz, which is 110MHz higher.
In addition, the power consumption of the public version is limited to 250W. Asus has increased the power consumption of this top non-public RX 6800 XT to 290W. If players want to overclock, there is another 15% power improvement.
