ASUS Announces ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti Graphics Cards

Graphics cards are most famously used for gaming, but gamers are far from the only folks who eagerly anticipate each new generation of GPUs. The highly specialized hardware in graphics cards offers potent parallel processing power, and professionals put it to work in fields like artificial intelligence, finance, game development, manufacturing, and robotics. While creators in these fields often use the same hardware as gamers, the needs of these two groups of users aren't identical.

To give these professionals options better suited for their lines of work, we're excited to announce the very first ProArt graphics cards: the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and ProArt GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. Tuned for quiet operation, styled for professional contexts, and slimmed down for wide chassis compatibility, these graphics cards are built from the ground up to serve the needs of creators.
Space-saving designs
A creative professional's workspace often involves more equipment than a gamer's. On a desk that needs to accommodate multiple displays, control surfaces, and external drives, an extra-large chassis might be a luxury that you can't afford. That's why we designed the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti to keep a compact profile. At only 300 mm long, they're currently two of the smallest 40 Series graphics cards on the market. They'll fit easily into a wide variety of PC cases, and they're even short enough to fit into many of the most popular Mini-ITX chassis.

The thickness of the cooling solution matters, too. While gamers often only use one of their PCIe x16 slots, creators are much more likely to put their additional slots to use. The ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti offer a 2.5-slot design that's less likely to interfere with other components that creators need to install.

Subdued noise and tamed temperatures
Within their compact dimensions, the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 graphics cards offer a compelling blend of thermal and acoustic performance. Their beefier counterparts from our ROG Strix and TUF Gaming lineups have much larger heatsinks that might appeal in circumstances where space isn't an issue, but the slim-and-trim ProArt models compensate with an optimized fan profile that allows them to offer the best balance of temperatures and noise levels.

Under load, the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 produces a mere 44dB of noise, and with its 0 dB tech, the fans will spin down completely for silent operation in light workloads. This card achieves these excellent results through its robust cooling solution. A trio of Axial-tech fans deliver high airflow at low noise levels. Large venting along the sides of the shroud facilitates heat dissipation, and a generous vent on the sturdy backplate allows heat to exhaust naturally into the primary airflow pathway of your PC's chassis.

Minimize distractions
Gamers love the visual customization options that they get from RGB LEDs, but some creators find that they need to zealously protect their flow state by minimizing any distractions in and around their workstations. The ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti will help you keep your focus with a minimalist design rooted in clean lines, sophisticated colors, and contoured surfaces - without the LEDs. These graphics cards will communicate professionalism in client-facing installations, and they coordinate seamlessly with our ProArt ecosystem of motherboards, displays, and peripherals.

Built to go the distance
Inside and out, we prepped the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti to go the distance. Dual ball fan bearings offer excellent longevity. Both cards are assembled with our Auto-Extreme Technology, which is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.

We armored this graphics card with a stainless steel bracket. To keep your graphics card on the straight and level over the long term, it's kept level by a protective backplate, and we include a ProArt graphics card holder in the box.

Finally, we know that creators rely on exceptional driver support for their work. With the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti, you'll get NVIDIA Studio Driver support to ensure maximum performance, rock-solid reliability, and broad software compatibility.

Three free months of Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe products are central to creative work in many industries. We've partnered with Adobe to empower your workflow with the renowned Creative Cloud suite of apps and services. With your purchase of a ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 or 4070 Ti in select regions, you'll enjoy a free three-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. Not only will you have access to over 20 apps, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects, you'll have 100 GB of cloud storage on tap. Redemption is easy, and you can apply the Creative Cloud subscription to a new or existing account.

Compact, creative, powerful
Boasting a sophisticated and unobtrusive design, wide case compatibility, and quiet everyday operation, the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 and ProArt GeForce RTX 4070 Ti offer next-gen graphics performance in a package that's built first and foremost for the needs of today's professional creators.

Finally someone has come to their senses and realized that we all don't want Humongous (it Fits) cards. Knowing Asus they will price these accordingly but on a good note the Pro Art is usually cheaper than the Strix.

at 2.5 Slots they arent particularly small or even suited for mATX platforms.

These look really nice. Good on ASUS for making a 2.5 slot design for the 4080.

I actually have a build with a pro-art mobo specifically because it has better features and none of the stupid that the gaming stuff has. I loved ASUS WS boards for same reason. Though now you pay a premium not to have RGB vomit on things.

I approve. Just missing a 4090 option IMO.

It's gonna look real nice on the shelves right next to all the 4070s and 7900XTs

Would at least look nice in my Z790 Pro-Art along side the RTX A2000. I just don't game that much anymore though.

Some of the photos seem to produce an optical effect if you switch you focus from the first fan to the third and viceversa.
To me I looks like the fan is slowly rotating.
Well, it might be my "it's Friday" syndrome. :laugh:

ASUS are so lazy lately. Do you guys remember the old days when we had Poseidon? What about Mars? And Matrix?? Yeah... now you got the same card with slight adjustments on the PCB and different color shroud.

Thank nVidia and AMD for locking down on what AIBs can do with their GPUs

Aren't Quadro cards marketed for workstation use?

Yeah would have made way more sense for a Pro-Art RTX A4000 SFF. It's pretty much PNY and LeadTek making all the workstation cards off the top of my head.

I quite like the pro Art look from Asus it's a shame they didn't do memory too though.

The 4080 looks good, but I would expect to Pay for that

ProArt is easily the best looking Asus design aesthetic. Strix are gaudy/embarassing to look at (imo) and TUF sometimes look cheap.

I agree some cards just make your PC look like a circus. A little rgb is ok - but I don't want something that you can see from the space station.

I'm totally sold to Asus for the Pro Art series.
But they are ridiculously expensive.

I’m confused. These cards are meant to be quiet. ”Under load, the ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 produces a mere 44dB of noise.” The 4080 FE is 34dBA, while MSI’s Suprim X 4080 goes as low as 26.8dBA. At 44 dBA, the ProArt would be the noisiest 4080 on the market. I must be missing something.

It's the smallest 4080 on the market.

"small" is relative to what happened with this gen...in the SFF world a lot of cases had to be redesigned/updated solely because GPUs have gotten so big. My dan A4 H2O can fit a triple slot GPU up to 322cm long, and it's a 11 liters case. so that pro art GPU is even "SFF friendly" in the current era.

You can't simply compare dB readings like that. Distance to the test object, wether it's in a closed case or not, the measurement device etc. all play an important role in this. Wait until a review, and only compare the dB readings with other reviews from the same reviewer.

My guess is that these will be reasonably quiet, while not the quietest on the market.

Thanks. I’ll wait for a review :)
