I own a EVGA 1080Ti Hybrid and one of the main advantages is that it effectively expels all the hot air out of the case. What's the point of ASUS solution? Just a slightly more efficient open-air alternative?
this may cool better as there are more fans and more surface area (240 mm rad size). But to your point its just a glorified cooler as the vrms are still air cooled and at what point u are just better off building a custom water loop. A few hundred dollar premium on this card will get u a real waterblock and an actual 240mm rad and probably cash to spare to put towards other components in your loop.
There is not more surface area, look at the tear down, its just a 120 (maybe slightly larger) on half the card. And it blows heat to the surface of the card.
I think this card makes the case for reinforced PCI-E slots or justifies bringing back a bracket at the front of the case akin to something that used to support full-length ISA expansion cards. Ultimately, this is just an attempt at product differentiation in a market filled with RTX 2080 Ti GPUs at the top that makes all top-tier video cards essentially identical products with different brand logos stamped on them.
Linus from LTT, already showed the radiator and pump, this morning-ish. I came here hoping to see more, like the block and circuit flow (he suggested there may be two)... Instead we just get press pics...
"ASUS hasn't specified a price as of yet for the ROG Matrix RTX 2080 Ti but given utilization of the exclusive Infinity Loop cooling technology, it's not expected to be cheap."
So let me get this straight, a 2080ti without hybrid cooling is cheap?!?!?! I don't believe my eyes. You actually wrote this!? You thought this!? It ought to read "VERY EXPENSIVE". Yes, in caps.
You are over-reacting. He just used standard journalistic expressions, it might as well be all automatic from a scrip (it soon will be). The card will probably be listed for €1600 in Europe.
Hello everyone, is there any point in buying for this video card an HDMI splitter like this https://www.bestadvisor.com/hdmi-splitters? I need to connect 3 monitors, better use DVI and 2 HDMI or connect all ports via HDMI

Maybe it's for some theoretical bonkers mini-ITX case with a separated, triple-high GPU chamber.madwolfa - Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - link
Mini-ITX would still benefit the most from either a blower or external rad approach.Simon_Says - Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - link
Not if it's something like akin to a Silverstone RVZ03.As I said. Bonkers.

Yeah or case with 90° conversion kits to mount GFX cards vertically standing via a riser card/cable.LauRoman - Tuesday, January 8, 2019 - link

Those fans are obviously inspired by the noiseblocker e-loopkoaschten - Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - link
might be an OEM version, wouldn't be a new thing to have the same product for end-users and customized for OEMskoaschten - Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - link
The Source link is linking to this same article? ;)koaschten - Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - link
probably should point to https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-MATRIX-RTX...vitminak - Monday, January 14, 2019 - link
Can someone recommend a high end mini ITX chassis that will fit this card? The Streacom DA2 that I have seems to be too small for this card..Gastec - Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - link
How much is it, $2000? :)Lenny13 - Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - link
