Asus ROG Strix LC RTX 3080 Ti | Review

The current situation of the hardware market is not the best: video cards are almost impossible to find, along with many other PC components. The chip shortage that is hitting almost all sectors, from IT to automotive, is expected to show no signs of improving until 2022, despite Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, being quite confident and calm about it calling it a simple cycle destined to end.

In any case, this particular period is not preventing manufacturers from releasing new graphics cards that will be able to buy very few people, at least for now. Only yesterday Nvidia made official the RTX 3080 Ti (here we talk about the Founders Edition) and in this review we will see what could be, on balance, one of the best custom cards in circulation: the ROG Strix LC RTX 3080 Ti. This is a very particular customization, which is cooled by a 240mm AIO that allows you to reach and maintain frequencies much higher than the reference ones. The cooling system used is not an absolute novelty as it is already present on some AMD Radeon models, but it is the first time that Asus has used it for an Nvidia GPU.
