ASUS Unveils ProArt GeForce RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards

TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 5, 2025 — ASUS today announced the ProArt GeForce RTX™ 50 Series graphics cards, featuring a USB Type-C® port for compatibility with monitors that use DisplayPort™ over USB-C®, plus a wood-patterned laminate trim.

Built with NVIDIA 50 Series power​

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU powers the next generation of ProArt cards. Featuring NVIDIA® Blackwell architecture with DLSS 4 upscaling, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 series brings potent next-level performance to the table, for gaming and content creation alike. The suite of NVIDIA RTX 50 technologies includes Multi Frame Generation and enhanced Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution and NVIDIA Reflex 2 with Frame Warp.
A key benefit of ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 cards are their sizable 16GB pool of GDDR7, which provides sufficient capacity to play nearly any game at high resolutions with maxed-out graphics settings. And with the ability to deliver up to 1858 AI TOPS, each card can deliver next-level performance for AI-intensive tasks.

Styled for modern PCs​

The ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards include a wood-patterned laminate trim on their rounded front edges, offering a complementary aesthetic for wood-themed builds. And indirect, minimal Aura Sync lighting customizable in Armoury Crate makes sure that this unique look isn’t lost in shadow, once a PC is up and running.
It is worth noting that these graphics cards are an ideal match for the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition chassis, which features natural wood elements that harken back to Scandinavian design trends of previous decades. These unique chassis are a popular choice for builders looking for an opportunity to break away from the ordinary.

Potent cooling in a slim design​

To accommodate the specialized needs of creators, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 graphic cards feature a slimmed-down 2.5-slot design. It can fit into many smaller PC cases, offering broad compatibility with today’s most popular chassis. Additionally, creators are more likely than others to populate their PCIe® x16 expansion slots with add-in cards that boost their system’s capabilities or connectivity, so a narrower graphics card makes room for more functionality.
Even with its slim-and-trim profile, this card is still equipped for potent cooling. It features the ASUS-exclusive MaxContact design with vapor chamber cooling for efficient heat transfer from both the GPU and VRAM. Between its heatsink and the GPU, traditional thermal paste has been swapped out for a premium phase-change thermal pad, which not only optimizes heat transfer but also the longevity of the thermal interface material. Additionally, a trio of Axial-tech fans keep a steady stream of cooling air moving through the heatsink while minimizing distracting fan noise.

Versatility that caters to creators​

Creators and PC gamers are known to use DisplayPort and HDMI® ports for connecting displays, but creators also routinely make use of USB Type-C, thanks to its exceptional versatility. DisplayPort over USB-C makes it easy to hook up a portable display or even several displays via daisy-chaining, where compatible.
Motherboards like the ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi make a USB4® Type-C port available to creators via a DisplayPort In port on the rear I/O panel, but the integrated USB-C port on the ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 can be used without any additional wiring or setup.

Optimize experiences with GPU Tweak III​

ASUS GPU Tweak III software can be used with ProArt GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards to enable easy tuning and for monitoring performance. It gives users an in-depth look at a card’s specs and status and makes it easy to adjust various parameters. Whether users want to change their RTX 5080’s performance mode or overclock it in a single click, GPU Tweak III makes it a cinch. Plus, the new OSD Wizard feature allows users to easily customize the GPU Tweak III on-screen display (OSD) to their liking.

MuseTree AI-based image generation​

The ASUS GeForce RTX 50 series supports MuseTree, an AI-powered image-generation app designed to spark creativity. Users can effortlessly create and manage images and visual ideas, unlocking endless new inspirations. With its intuitive interface, generating stunning images has never been easier.
