The ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. Structural pillars of a built-in reinforced metal frame are also visible here and add a literal layer of durability. To fulfill the power demands of the Radeon RX 6800, two 8-pin power connectors are present, along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly. The front-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic and functional effects, and also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. And a conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customization of the card’s default performance profile without software. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The underside of the card reveals further improvements. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer.Ī machined all-aluminum shroud creates a robust outer shell and a no-nonsense industrial design and grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease. To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array, we’ve engaged MaxContact technology to polish the surface of the heat spreader and improve smoothness at the microscopic level.

Under the exoskeleton, a thick heatsink keeps thermals under tight control and TUF components, selected for maximum durability and performance, keep the card ahead of the pack. An all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans with dual ball fan bearings and extra blades. The TUF GAMING Radeon™ RX 6800 is a tenacious beast with a tough metal exterior, super-efficient cooling, and components that offer enhanced endurance.
