Press Release
ASUS has unveiled its new ProArt GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, combining cutting-edge performance with creative-focused design elements. Highlighting the launch is the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition, which features a built-in USB Type-C port for seamless compatibility with DisplayPort-over-USB-C monitors, along with a distinctive wood-patterned laminate trim that adds a unique aesthetic touch.
Built with NVIDIA 50 Series power
Powered by the NVIDIA® Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4 upscaling, the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU drives the next generation of ProArt cards. Designed for both gaming and content creation, it includes advanced RTX 50 features such as Multi Frame Generation, enhanced Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, and NVIDIA Reflex 2 with Frame Warp.
With 16GB of GDDR7 memory, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 handles high-resolution gaming with maxed-out settings effortlessly. It also delivers up to 1858 AI TOPS, offering exceptional performance for AI-driven workloads.
Styled for modern PCs
ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 cards feature a distinctive wood-patterned laminate trim on the rounded front edges, bringing a natural, stylish touch to modern PC builds. Customisable, indirect Aura Sync lighting via Armoury Crate ensures the aesthetic remains visible even in darker setups.
These cards pair perfectly with the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition chassis, which incorporates real wood accents and Scandinavian-inspired design—ideal for builders seeking a unique, standout system.
Potent cooling in a slim design
With a compact 2.5-slot profile, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 is well-suited for smaller cases and creator-focused systems that often require additional PCIe® x16 expansion cards. Despite its slim form, the card doesn’t compromise on cooling.
It utilises ASUS’s MaxContact design with a vapour chamber for efficient heat transfer from the GPU and VRAM. A premium phase-change thermal pad replaces traditional paste, improving both cooling and material lifespan. Three Axial-tech fans ensure strong airflow while keeping noise to a minimum.
Versatility that caters to creators
Alongside standard HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 includes a USB Type-C port supporting DisplayPort over USB-C, ideal for creators using portable or daisy-chained monitors. While some motherboards like the ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi require a DisplayPort In connection for USB4® display output, this GPU simplifies setup with native USB-C output, requiring no additional wiring.
Optimise experiences with GPU Tweak III
Users can fine-tune their ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 with ASUS GPU Tweak III software. It offers in-depth monitoring and control over performance settings, including one-click overclocking and mode switching. The new OSD Wizard also allows easy personalisation of the on-screen display for real-time performance tracking.
MuseTree AI-based image generation
The ASUS GeForce RTX 50 Series supports MuseTree, an AI-powered image generation app that helps users visualise and create new ideas. With an intuitive interface, it makes managing and generating inspiring visuals quick and effortless.
