The ten cards, in detail
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition
The title lists 16GB of GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, HDMI and DisplayPort 2.1, a 3.2-slot cooler, MaxContact design, a phase-change GPU thermal pad and a three-year warranty. OC Edition means the card ships with a factory overclock profile; the title does not give clock speeds, so check the listing. The 3.2-slot width is the main fitting concern. Many mid-size cases cannot take a cooler of that thickness, so check clearance before you order.
Pros
- 16GB of GDDR7 memory with PCIe 5.0.
- Three-year warranty is stated.
Cons
- 3.2-slot cooler needs plenty of case space.
- Clock speeds are not given in the title.
Who it’s for: Builders who want a newer-generation 16GB Strix and have a roomy case.
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 OC Edition
This listing names 12GB of GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, a 3.2-slot design, Axial-tech fans, MaxContact design, a phase-change thermal pad and Aura Sync lighting. It carries the Strix cooler of the 5070 Ti listing but with less memory. That makes the memory size the key trade-off. If you play at higher resolutions or use large textures, think about how much headroom 12GB leaves; the title does not give performance figures.
Pros
- Aura Sync lighting is named in the title.
- Same 3.2-slot cooling style as the 5070 Ti.
Cons
- 12GB is less memory than the 16GB cards here.
- Large cooler for a mid-range GPU.
Who it’s for: Builders who want the Strix look with a lower-tier GPU.
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition
The title shows 24GB of GDDR6X, PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a and a three-year warranty. It does not give the slot width, so look at the listing before assuming it fits. This is a card for people who prioritise memory capacity, and for workloads that benefit from a lot of VRAM. A card in this class usually needs a strong power supply and good airflow; follow ASUS’s recommended PSU wattage on the product page.
Pros
- 24GB of GDDR6X, the largest pool alongside the 3090.
- Three-year warranty is listed.
Cons
- Slot width is not in the title.
- Needs a capable power supply and ample cooling.
Who it’s for: Builders who need maximum VRAM and have a large case.
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 Gaming Graphics Card (non-OC listing)
A near duplicate of the first card. The title names the same 16GB GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, 3.2-slot, Axial-tech fans, MaxContact design and phase-change thermal pad, but drops OC Edition and the warranty note. Because the wording differs, do not assume the two are identical. Compare the product pages for factory clocks, warranty terms and seller details before you decide which listing to buy.
Pros
- Same core hardware description as the OC listing.
- Axial-tech fans and Aura Sync named.
Cons
- Title does not mention OC or warranty.
- Easy to confuse with the OC listing.
Who it’s for: Buyers comparing the two 5070 Ti listings on details.
ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC Edition
This is a previous-generation card. The title lists 12GB of GDDR6X, PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a and a three-year warranty. It matches the RTX 5070 in memory size but uses the older memory type. If you are on a PCIe 4.0 motherboard, the PCIe version is not a problem; the card will also work in newer slots. Check slot width and power connectors on the listing.
Pros
- 12GB of GDDR6X with a three-year warranty.
- PCIe 4.0 matches many existing motherboards.
Cons
- Previous generation, so verify availability and seller.
- Slot width is not in the title.
Who it’s for: Upgraders on PCIe 4.0 systems.
ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC Edition
The oldest mainstream Strix on the list. The title notes 10GB of GDDR6X, PCIe 4.0, LHR, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, Axial-tech fan design, a 2.9-slot cooler, Super Alloy Power II and GPU Tweak II software. LHR stands for lite hash rate. Because this is an older product, check whether the listing is new, used or from a third-party seller, and confirm the warranty before buying.
Pros
- 2.9-slot cooler is thinner than the newest Strix cards.
- GPU Tweak II software named.
Cons
- 10GB is the smallest memory pool here.
- Older generation; condition and warranty need checking.
Who it’s for: Budget builders replacing an older card.
ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition (not a ROG Strix)
Not a ROG Strix card, so treat it as a runner-up. The title lists 16GB of GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, a USB Type-C port, HDMI and DisplayPort 2.1, a 2.5-slot design, Axial-tech fans, a vapor chamber and a phase-change thermal pad. ProArt is ASUS’s creator-oriented line. The 2.5-slot width is slimmer than the 3.2-slot Strix cards, which may help in tighter cases.
Pros
- 2.5-slot cooler fits more cases.
- USB Type-C port is named.
Cons
- Not a Strix, despite appearing in the search.
- Subdued styling, if you wanted RGB.
Who it’s for: Creators and small-case builders who want an RTX 5080.
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition
The title lists 16GB of GDDR6X, PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a and a three-year warranty. It offers the same 16GB capacity as the 5070 Ti, but in an earlier generation and with older memory. The title leaves out the slot width, so confirm case clearance on the listing. This card is for builders who like the Strix hardware and are comfortable buying a previous-generation product.
Pros
- 16GB of GDDR6X.
- Three-year warranty is mentioned.
Cons
- Slot width is not in the title.
- Previous generation with older memory.
Who it’s for: Builders who want a 16GB Strix from the earlier lineup.
ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition (not a ROG Strix)
Another runner-up, because it is a TUF Gaming card, not ROG Strix. The title lists 16GB of GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, HDMI and DisplayPort 2.1, a 3.6-slot cooler, military-grade components, a protective PCB coating and Axial-tech fans. At 3.6 slots, it is the thickest card on this list, so measure carefully. It is listed because shoppers searching for Strix often end up comparing TUF cards.
Pros
- Protective PCB coating is named.
- Newer-generation memory and PCIe version.
Cons
- 3.6 slots is very thick.
- Not a Strix, so styling and features differ.
Who it’s for: Builders with a large case who accept TUF in place of Strix.
ASUS ROG STRIX NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 White OC Edition
The title lists 24GB of GDDR6X, PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, a white colour scheme, Axial-tech fan design and a 2.9-slot cooler; the end of the title is cut off, so open the listing to see the full description. The main draw is the white finish for themed builds. As an older product, check condition and seller details before purchase.
Pros
- White colour scheme for matching builds.
- 24GB of GDDR6X memory.
Cons
- Truncated title leaves some specifications unclear.
- Older generation, so confirm condition and warranty.
Who it’s for: White-themed builds that want a lot of VRAM.
How we picked these
We started with ten listings that matched ASUS ROG Strix plus NVIDIA, read each title for memory, PCIe version, ports, slot width and warranty wording, and labeled the two cards that are not Strix. Nobody on the team used or measured these units. The comparison uses published specifications, manufacturer documentation and buyer reviews, and we make no performance claims beyond what the titles say.
What to check before buying a Strix card
Slot width and case clearance
The listings range from 2.5 slots to 3.6 slots. A 3.2-slot cooler blocks more than three expansion slots. Check that your case has clearance in length, thickness and height, and that nothing on the motherboard sits below the card. A 3.6-slot design can be difficult in a mid tower.
Memory and generation
Memory sizes here run from 10GB to 24GB. GDDR7 appears on the newer-generation listings, while GDDR6X appears on the earlier ones. More memory helps with high resolutions and large projects, but it does not by itself make a card faster.
Power and connectors
High-end graphics cards draw significant power. Check ASUS’s recommended power supply wattage and connector requirements on each product page, and do not reuse a damaged or loose cable. If you are unsure about wiring, ask a qualified technician.
Pre-order fit checklist
Write down five numbers: case GPU length limit, free slot count, power supply wattage, available PCIe power cables, and monitor ports you need. Compare them with the listing. After installation, download the matching driver from NVIDIA; our driver download guide explains the options.
Mistakes buyers make
Assuming every search result called Strix is a Strix card; two here are not. Ignoring slot width until the box arrives. Treating OC Edition as a guarantee of a particular speed. Buying an older-generation card from an unknown seller without checking condition and warranty. Skipping the power supply check. And choosing on memory size alone, when the architecture and the cooler matter too.
Our pick
For a new build, the ROG Strix RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition is the most balanced listing here, provided your case fits 3.2 slots. If you want the largest memory, look at the RTX 4090 or RTX 3090 White. If space is limited, the ProArt RTX 5080 is slimmer, although it is not a Strix. To see where these sit among other NVIDIA cards, read our GPU tier list.

Frequently asked questions
What does ROG Strix mean on a graphics card?
ROG Strix is ASUS’s premium gaming line, usually with large coolers and lighting. The name tells you the brand tier, not the GPU inside, so always read the model line, such as RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 4090, plus the memory size. See our ASUS graphics card breakdown for tier comparisons.
What is the difference between OC Edition and the standard listing?
OC Edition means ASUS ships the card with a factory overclock profile. Clock speeds are not given in these titles, so check the product page. Standard and OC listings may also differ in warranty wording, as the two RTX 5070 Ti listings here show.
Will a 3.2-slot graphics card fit your case?
It depends on case design. A 3.2-slot card covers more than three expansion slots, and the width can conflict with the bottom of the case or other cards. Measure the clearance and read the case documentation. If space is tight, consider the 2.5-slot ProArt listing.
Are older Strix cards like the RTX 3080 still worth considering?
They can be, if you have the right power supply and find a listing with clear seller and warranty details. The titles do not give prices or condition, so check them carefully. Older cards have less memory and use earlier PCIe versions, though PCIe is backward compatible.
Do you need PCIe 5.0 for the newer cards?
No. PCIe is backward compatible, so a PCIe 5.0 card generally works in a PCIe 4.0 slot at the slot’s speed. Check your motherboard manual and the card’s documentation to confirm. The bigger fitting questions are slot width, power and case airflow.
