As our last stop of the day Tuesday, we swung by and visited with ASUS where it felt like they rented out an entire hotel floor. Multiple suites filled with all of the tech goodies they have to offer from phones to desktops, and peripherals in between. We’ll focus on the things more geared towards computing and first and foremost, the ROG Matrix 2080Ti.

The feature which sets this card apart from the rest is the hybrid cooling solution named Infinity Loop which keeps the card cool. The card integrates a complete liquid cooling solution all within a 3-slot width. That means a pump, radiator, tubing, cold plate, and three fans are all housed inside the card. In other words, there is no external radiator to mount to keep the card cool… incredibly impressive.

Many of us remember the ROG Matrix of old, offering users a VRM fit for sub-ambient overclocking and a slew of features meant to increase overclocking potential. In this version of the Matrix, it shares the power delivery bits with the ROG Strix which purists may find disappointing. With the Turing architecture under the hood on this version, they have the most powerful ROG Matrix video card ever. Out of the box, the GPU is overclocked to 1815 MHz (from the FE 1635 MHz). Memory speeds are also upped a bit to 1850 MHz (from 1750). These clocks speeds should make it one of the highest performing 2080 Ti’s on the market.

There is no word on pricing yet, but you can bet this unicorn of a graphics card will fetch a hefty premium due to the integration of the water cooler as well as the binning to reach those clocks. We should see these become available towards the end of this month.
