ASUS ROG RTX 3080 and 3070 White Edition GPUs pictured
Videocardz was the first to report on these images hitting the web, showcasing these GPUs in their all-white glory. At this time, these new graphics cards do not appear to be in stock at ProShop, though these listings do confirm that White Edition RTX 30 series GPUs exist and that they appear to feature the same clock speeds as their non-White Edition counterparts.Â
Like older ROG Strix White Edition graphics cards, the fans, heatsink shroud and backplate of these GPUs are white, and the PCB of these graphics cards are black. While the black PCB of these graphics cards may disappoint some of you, the lack of a PCB colour change makes sense given the manufacturing complexities involved. Changing the material properties of a complex PCB is a lot more difficult than changing the colour of fans, backplates and heatsink shrouds.Â

Thanks to the White Edition’s lighter colouring, the ROG RTX 30 Strix White Edition GPUs can make better use of the RGB lighting that’s integrated into their design. RGB LEDs have a larger impact on white surfaces, and it makes ASUS’ ROG Strix RGB lighting setup a lot more effective.Â
Outside of colouring, these new graphics cards are identical to their non-White Edition counterparts. These ROG Strix models do not appear to feature higher-end components or increased overclocking potential, catering exclusively to the needs of those who desire an all-white gaming PC.Â

Like all RTX 30 series graphics cards at the time of writing, these RTX 30 series graphics cards are out of stock. At this time it is unknown when they will become readily available at retailers. ASUS’ all-white RTX graphics cards have always been in short supply, a factor which should make these SKUs practically impossible to acquire in today’s market.Â
