ASUS Announces NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition Graphics Card
Latest Noctua collaboration delivers the quietest air-cooled ASUS graphics card in its class
- New graphics card features three Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 120mm fans, renowned for best-in-class airflow and ultraquiet performance
- Optimized vapor chamber efficiently wicks heat into a large fin array, keeping the system cool and maintaining peak performance under heavy workloads
TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 8, 2025 — ASUS today announced the GeForce RTX™ 5080 Noctua Edition, the quietest ASUS graphics card in its class. Engineered to handle even the most graphically-intensive tasks, this card also elevates a PC’s aesthetic luster. With Noctua's incredible fan designs and the unrivaled capabilities of ASUS cooling technology, this card will keep temperatures low while giving users the quiet performance they desire.
Noctua CEO Roland Mossig said, "While we’ve constantly set new benchmarks for performance-to-noise efficiency with each of the previous ASUS x Noctua graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 5080 offers the biggest generational leap yet."
A quiet champion
The quietest graphics card in its class, the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition uses three Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 120mm fans — so it’s perfectly capable of handling the cooling needs of the powerful NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 5080 GPU.
Noctua's ultraquiet second-generation NF-series fans spearhead the card’s cooling efforts and are reinforced by a bevy of features from ASUS. For example, an optimized vapor chamber efficiently transfers heat from the GPU and VRAM modules to a hefty heatsink loaded with heat-dissipating fins. The card's phase-change thermal pad also helps optimize heat transfer, ensuring long-term performance no matter how hard users push their hardware.
When temperatures are low enough, ASUS 0dB technology kicks in, shutting off the card's fans entirely so users get the absolute quietest computing experience possible. A physical Dual BIOS switch also lets users switch between Quiet and Performance modes after a quick reboot of their machine, providing a choice between peak power or maximum serenity.
The performance and power users need
The ultralow-noise output of the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition makes its incredible performance that much more notable. Its 2700MHz default clock speed will crush any game or creative program users throw at the card. And as a GeForce RTX 5080 card, not only is it near the top of the RTX 50 Series power stack, it is also loaded with the series-wide performance perks NVIDIA has infused into its latest GPUs. Among other tech, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction deliver incredible ray-tracing at unbelievable framerates in demanding games.
The card also packs a sizeable 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. The card’s hefty 1858 AI TOPS enable it to handle a wide variety of tasks.
A fusion of beauty and brawn
With a distinct shroud featuring complementary brown and beige hues, this attractive earth-toned card is a perfect fit for retro rigs. That said, its bold style and incredibly quiet powerhouse performance make it a stellar fit inside any good-looking desktop PC that needs low-noise muscle.
ASUS recommends at least an 850-watt power supply unit for this graphics card. Users can refer to the power supply calculator to figure out which PSU is the best fit with various CPU/GPU combinations.
