The Matrix’s internal closed-loop water cooling system is the first of its kind. Combining the performance of an external closed-loop hybrid with the minimal footprint of a standard air-cooled card introduced many design challenges, such as miniaturizing a water pump to squeeze between the shroud and PCB. The effort paid off by delivering headroom to propel the Matrix’s clock speeds to a new level of performance for builds without custom water loops.
With pump, tubing, and radiator integrated seamlessly under the shroud, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX™ 2080 Ti is cooler and quieter than air-cooled cards while taking up the same amount of space.
