ASUS’ ROG RTX 3090 Strix has been pictured

The world’s first real-world images of ASUS’ ROG RTX 3090 Strix have leaked onto the web through Videocardz, revealing that ASUS will be utilising the heatsink design what was leaked back in July. 

ASUS’ Republic of Gamers RTX 3090 Strix model will feature a triple fan heatsink design with two anti-clockwise spinning fans and a central clockwise, alternate spinning fan. When compared to prior leaks of this heatsink design, ASUS has removed references to Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti model, which appears to no longer be part of the company’s Ampere product line. 

The ROG Strix RTX 3090’s heatsink is reminiscent of the company’s older RTX 2080 Ti Strix and Matrix models, giving the new Strix a look that’s unlike its predecessors. At this time, it is unknown how this new heatsink design utilises RGB lighting, or what changes have been made to ASUS’ underlying heatsink design. 

Based on what we can see below, ASUS’ ROG RTX 3090 Strix will be a 2.5-slot graphics card, and will likely be revealed officially at an  “ASUS Virtual Launch Event” called “Built for Brilliance” on September 2nd. ASUS plans to reveal several new products at this event, including new ROG keyboard switches.
