For cooling, the ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 3070 Ti features a tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design, with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA's new high-octane design. Dual ball fan bearings ensure consistent performance and increased longevity compared to other bearings. The two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. And to eliminate unnecessary noise, stop mode halts fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.

The top-side RGB element can be customised to display a wide range of aesthetic and functional effects and can also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, two 8-pin connectors are present, along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly.

This GPU features only the most durable components. In addition to top-shelf chokes and MOSFETs, capacitors that meet military-grade certification make the TUF stand tall amongst the competition. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensure each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications. To ensure flawless performance the cards are also subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial.
