Does this GPU support water cooling? null

Only if you add a custom backplate and adapter, otherwise it's fully air-cooled by the 3 main fans.

Generally yes but it's dependent on 3rd parties to design and produce the necessary water blocks for the particular PCB designs used in this these cards. Based on previous launch schedules you can expect a solution to become available in the following 1-2 months from companies like EKWB, Barrow, Bykski, etc.

I'm sure it will however I don't currently see any water cooling options available. Down the road you'll have to see what the aftermarket makes to water cool this GPU.

Yes EK already has water blocks

Not sure about other manufacturers but I know EKWB has waterblocks available for preorder. But I've only looked into their founder's edition ones. Keep in mind the 3rd party cards like Asus and EVGA use a different PCB layout and size so a founder's edition waterblock would not work on a third party card.

The Asus Strix card uses a custom PCB, instead of the 'reference' PCB of other less expensive versions of the RTX 3080. You will need to check with your waterblock manufacturer of choice to see if they will be producing a water block for this particular board.

No, but you should be able to get 60fps on minesweeper and MS paint
