This is the most powerful GPU that I've ever owned. It's also the largest yet the quietest too. I love it. The fans never spin until the temperature hits 50°C and even then the fans are barely audible. It has a single RGB strip running along the front that's pretty customizable with the Asus software. It is expensive but I plan to keep it for years so it's worth it to me.

I ordered the ASUS ROG Astral NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 online from Best Buy and picked it up in-store, and I’m super happy with it! The online ordering was a snap, and when I got to the store, the pickup was fast—staff were friendly and had it ready to go in no time. This card’s performance is off the charts—I’ve been playing at 1440p with all the settings maxed, and it runs everything so smooth, even with ray tracing cranked up. Looking to buy a 4K OLED monitor now. The four-fan setup keeps it cool and quiet no matter how long I game. It’s a huge upgrade for my setup, and Best Buy made getting it a total breeze!

Coming from a 3080 TI, I was truly surprised at the games I got with this card. It is truly an overclocking monster. Able to get 3.3 GHz stable in game with plus 1,000 on the memory. It is enormous weighs almost as much as a newborn baby. But it has great features like the 12 pin thermal power plus protector and it also has a built-in accelerometer to tell you if it starts sagging. Great card great build and great Aesthetics. Would highly recommend but not at the current prices

Runs very cool, looks very clean, ans first time owning an 80 series card. Well worth it and destroys anything i throw at it with ease and cool temps. Worth it if you like the look and build quality. Otherwise go with the FE

The best card you can get for the worst price.

The card itself is a BRICK! With this being said, it overclocks better then any other card, and stays cool while doing so. Is it worth the $1800 price tag currently!? Absolutely not. But if you want the best series card this is the best you are going to get. This card would be the PERFECT card if it was released with its original msrp of $1249.99 when first announced. But the market quickly made it double. If you cam hold out and wait for prices to equalize I would say go for it. But if you want the best soon, then its certainly a good card performance wise.

ROG Tax was worth it here.

Every once in a while paying the Asus ROG tax is worth it. The GPU itself monitors on a per pin basis the exact power draw on the hardware and software side (you can view the condition of the pins on the software). These small things have allowed me to comfortably OC this GPU without any real worries that a connector might melt.
If you have the money to spend, buy this card. It won't let you down.

Coming from a 9070XT, which is very good for the money. I was having some input lag issues on random competitive shooter type games. The Astral 5080 solves all those issues and more. Price tag is a little steep for some but hands down the best graphics card I’ve ever owned. I would purchase again without hesitation.

An amazing gpu may be a little pricey for some but I’m very happy with my purchase. I originally wanted a 5090 but got booted out during the verification process so ended up with this one for the mean time. It has gave me exceptional performance especially while over clocking. Would recommend to anyone that has the budget but cant obtain a 5090 at a reasonable price.

This card is a beast, all you need for gaming, anything higher is just an overkill unless you're into other projects (e.g., AI, 3D Design, etc.). Most games run maxed out (4K, etc.) without any issues. Make sure you pair it up with a good processor.

Just upgraded to the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 and it’s absolutely insane. Straight out of the box, the build quality feels premium—solid metal shroud, sleek black finish, and the RGB lighting is super clean without being over the top. Performance-wise, it's a monster. I’m getting buttery-smooth frame rates in every game I’ve thrown at it, including stuff at 4K with ray tracing maxed out.
The cooling is impressive too—quad fans and some kind of vapor chamber setup. It stays cool under load and stays whisper quiet until things really heat up. I did notice a bit of coil whine during heavy gaming sessions, but it's not too distracting. Only minor gripe is the RGB and overclocking software can be a little finicky sometimes.
Overall, if you're looking to build a high-end rig or just want next-gen performance without compromise, this card delivers. It's expensive, yeah, but it feels worth it.

Spent almost 2000 dollars to receive a used card full of dog hair in a crumpled retail box. If you order this or any other card, be sure to pick it up in store that way you can not have to go through what I went through.
