Asus gears up to sell three graphics cards based on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

On Wednesday, Asus jumped on Twitter to tease PC gamers about new graphics cards based on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti chip. At the time, the provided link led to the company’s front page but didn’t cough up any information about the new products. Now the link works and leads to the new Asus Republic of Gamers Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti OC Edition card. It’s joined by the new Asus Turbo GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and a Founders Edition card too.

Here are the specs of all three:

As the chart shows, Asus had yet to reveal the speeds of its two ROG and Turbo cards when this article went live. Other details were missing too that we filled in, such as the physical size of the Founders Edition and ROG cards, and a likely extra 6-pin connector on the Turbo card.

The Founders Edition model is the baseline GeForce GTX 1080 Ti we’ve come to know and love since its unveiling on February 28. It is 35 percent faster than the GTX 1080 and it provides more PC gaming performance than Nvidia’s $1,200 Titan X monster. The Asus model comes packed with the company’s GPU Tweak II utility and a year’s worth of Xsplit Gamecaster Premium. It also appears to rely on Nvidia’s stock fan design.

The ROG Strix OC Edition is a different story. It’s cooled by three fans featuring the company’s patented wing-blade design, IP5X dust resistance, and FanConnect II technology to keep the card cool under pressure. The card also provides a Fan Profile Switch so that customers can instantly switch from performance mode to low-noise operation.

In addition to performance, the new ROG Strix card spices up the desktop’s appearance too. The card is outfitted with RGB LED lighting, which can be customized and synchronized with other compatible ROG devices and motherboards using the company’s Aura Sync utility.

Finally, we have the Turbo GTX 1080 TI card packing a dual-ball bearing fan. It’s not as extreme as the ROG Strix model, providing a customizable backlit logo so users can display their own unique touch within the system. Other ingredients include the GPU Tweak II utility, a year’s worth of Xsplit Gamecaster Premium, and enough ports to support VR without then need for disconnecting other HDMI-based devices.

Currently, the prices are unknown. However, pre-orders for the GTX 1080 Ti went live on Thursday, followed by a general availability on March 10.

The Best Password Managers for 2026
As online security evolves, so should the way you protect your accounts
password manager on a mac.

Think about how many online accounts you use in a typical week. Between work, banking, shopping, streaming, social media, and everything in between, it's easy to end up managing dozens of passwords. Remembering a different, secure password for every account simply isn't realistic, which is why so many people fall back on reusing the same login across multiple websites. That's a recipe for disaster, if you ask any cybersecurity expert.

If you're in a conundrum on how to safely handle digital privacy, password managers are a reliable solution. Rather than trying to remember every single password yourself, a credentials manager tool securely stores your login details, creates stronger passwords for new accounts, and automatically fills them in whenever you need them.

Amazon and Walmart’s AI can spot fake ‘Made in USA’ labels but won’t tell you, says study
The same chatbot that happily discusses "Made in China" claims stays silent on "Made in USA" ones.

When you ask an AI shopping assistant to help you find products, you probably expect it to point out misleading listings too. According to a new study, both Amazon and Walmart's AI tools can detect fake "Made in USA" claims. However, the study claims that retailers are not using those capabilities to flag or remove the misleading listings, even when the AI recognizes conflicting information on the same product page.

How did the researchers catch this fraud?

Samsung lays out grim pricing prophecy for mobile and PC gear
Memory shortage could get worse in 2027 and last through 2028
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Samsung warned in April that the memory shortage could get worse in 2027. Three months later, the company’s outlook has become even more troubling for anyone planning to buy a new phone, laptop, gaming PC, or another device packed with memory and storage.

During its Q2 2026 earnings call, Samsung said demand is still running far ahead of supply and that orders it cannot fulfil this year are likely to spill into the next. The company now expects the shortage to persist through 2028, extending its earlier warning by another year.
