ASUS is expanding its ProArt series with powerful graphics cards of the new RTX-50 generation. With a focus on creative professionals and gamers, the models combine a slim design, innovative cooling technologies and the performance of the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. A particular highlight is the integrated USB-C port, which supports flexible monitor setups and makes the workflow much easier.
- GeForce RTX 5080: Blackwell architecture, DLSS 4 and 16 GB GDDR7 memory
- USB-C connection: For monitor connection via DisplayPort via USB-C
- Slim 2.5-slot design: Also fits in more compact housings
- Optimized cooling: Vapor chamber, phase change thermal pad and Axial-Tech fan
Next-generation performance with NVIDIA Blackwell
At the heart of the new ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 is the Blackwell architecture, which supports DLSS 4 upscaling, improved Ray Reconstruction and Multi Frame Generation. These technologies not only ensure a significant increase in gaming performance, but also enormous computing power for AI applications. With up to 1858 AI TOPS, the card is also suitable for demanding creative workflows, from 3D rendering to video editing.
The 16 GB GDDR7 memory offers sufficient bandwidth for high-resolution textures and complex projects. Together with NVIDIA Reflex 2, which reduces input latency through frame warp, gamers and content creators alike get a strong overall package. ASUS thus continues its tradition of providing powerful hardware for professional and ambitious users.
Design and cooling for creative demands
The ProArt GeForce RTX 50 series combines modern technology with an unusual look: rounded edges with wood grain perfectly match the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition case and appeal to users who value an individual setup. Discreet Aura Sync lighting provides subtle accents.
Technically, the card impresses with a slim 2.5-slot design, which not only offers more compatibility with compact cases, but also creates space for additional expansion cards. The cooling is based on ASUS MaxContact with Vapor Chamber, three Axial-Tech fans and a durable phase change thermal pad. This material improves heat transfer compared to conventional paste and ensures consistently high cooling performance over the entire service life. This means that the card remains quiet and efficient even under continuous load.
Versatile connection options and software
In addition to HDMI and DisplayPort, the new ProArt graphics cards also offer USB-C with DisplayPort support for the first time. This makes them particularly interesting for creative users who want to use portable monitors or daisy-chain connections. In combination with the ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi mainboard, flexible multi-monitor setups can be realized without additional adapters or cabling.
The GPU Tweak III software is available to optimize performance. It not only enables classic overclocking and monitoring, but also offers an individually customizable OSD overlay. The ecosystem is complemented by MuseTree, an AI app for image generation that benefits from the performance of the RTX-50 series and is designed to support creative processes. ASUS is thus addressing both the gaming and creator community with practical features.
Conclusion
With the ProArt GeForce RTX 50 series, ASUS presents graphics cards that combine design, performance and versatility. The combination of Blackwell architecture, efficient cooling and USB-C connection makes it an exciting option for demanding users. Anyone who values a compact, powerful and aesthetic setup will find a future-proof solution here.
