Astral - Nur beim Preis oder auch bei der Leistung? Die Asus ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Blackwell Grafikkarte trumpft mit Vier-Achsen-Lüfter, Vollmetallgehäuse, zusätzlichen Lüfteranschlüssen und einer hohen Übertaktung ordentlich auf. Ob der stolze Preis für diese Annehmlichkeiten gerechtfertigt ist, klärt unser Test.

Mit der ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition haben wir uns das Flaggschiff von ASUS bereits im Roundup zu den ersten Modellen der GeForce RTX 5080 angeschaut. Die hochwertige Verarbeitung und Anmutung der Karte ist sicherlich ein Pluspunkt, allerdings verlangt ASUS auch einen gewaltigen Aufpreis für sein Spitzenmodell. In einem Nachtest wollen wir "Schwachstellen" noch einmal unter die Lupe nehmen. Dies wären die Lautstärke und im Hinblick auf das Overclocking soll die ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition exemplarisch das Potential der GeForce RTX 5080 abbilden.

The ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC is the company's most premium custom design graphics card powered by NVIDIA's new enthusiast-segment GPU. ASUS designed the ROG Astral brand to be positioned above its ROG Strix series, offering a combination of premium aesthetics and powerful air cooling. This is the only air-cooled graphics card in its segment to feature four large fans ventilating a heavy heatsink. The ROG Astral is designed to visually pair well with not just the company's ROG Strix line of premium motherboards, but also enthusiast-segment ROG Maximus and ROG Crosshair boards. The RGB LED lighting isn't as flashy as the ones you find on ROG Strix series products—it's subtle and neatly executed—but what draws your attention are the textured metal alloy surfaces. It's no surprise that the ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC also comes with the company's highest factory overclock for the GPU.
