This Asus Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card is ideal for a wood gaming PC

For those who prefer a little less RGB in their gaming PC builds, then this Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card from Asus looks like just the answer. The Asus ProArt RTX 5080 is aimed at professionals, holding back from bold colors and flashy lights, making way for a much simpler, refined wood effect approach.

This gorgeous Asus ProArt card gives off a Scandinavian vibe that would feel more at home in a professional build than some of the RGB-heavy Nvidia cards out there. The RTX 5080 itself is one of our favorites, too, scoring a recommendation in our best graphics card guide as the best option for under $1,000, if you can find it at that price.

The Asus ProArt brand has been around for a while, aimed at creative professionals. This Asus ProArt RTX 5080 is the first RTX 50-series ProArt card to reach the market, and it's packed with all the usual RTX 5080 specs, including 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB VRAM.

The design is the important thing, however. This 2.5-slot graphics card is part of the Nvidia SFF Ready program, so if you've got a small form factor PC that meets that standard, you should have no trouble installing a card like this into your case. It features a minimalist wood effect trim at the top, accentuated by a lit-up ProArt logo - so, there's still some RGB, but it's a bit more subtle in its approach than some other RTX 5080 cards out there.

Meanwhile, the card's cooler features three fans and Asus' "MaxContact" cooling design, which uses a vapor chamber to keep the GPU chip cool. The card also features HDMI and DisplayPort connections, but there's a USB Type-C output too. Asus hasn't confirmed the price or release date for this card just yet, but we'll be hoping it's an affordable option for gamers who need a more subtle-looking graphics card for their rig.
