Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti OC in review

Asus uses the same board as the ROG Poseidon Platinum hybrid card, but with slight modifications to capacitor assembly. Otherwise, the Strix cooler of course has much more space, which can only be advantageous. The Kart... Asus uses its own design for this board. The two 8-pin sockets for the external power supply are followed by two coils in the input area for smoothing the tips. Asus relies on a design of 5+2 phases, with the 5 phases for the GPU being designed.

Power consumption at different loads

The power consumption in the gaming loop is pretty much exactly on the point that Asus set as the Power Target with 275 watts in the BIOS. In the Torture loop, the power consumption even drops below this value. Even if the maximum possible Power Target is exhausted, the card remains within the specified frame and even falls below the limit value. The limit is therefore the voltage, not the power as such.

The corresponding voltages for both loops in the factory state are shown in the following diagram:

Compliance with the standard on the motherboard slot

With a maximum of 3.2 amps (torture) and 2.6 amps (gaming), the card is far below what the PCI SIG sets with a maximum of 5 amps (66 watts) for the 12 volt rail on the motherboard slot.
