Recently, a new niche of "creative" gadgets has appeared on the component market - specialized laptops, monitors, video cards and motherboards, which are created for the needs of designers, artists, musicians, coders, VFX specialists and other representatives of the "creative workshop". Asus has recently been actively developing its line of ProArt motherboards: first, the Taiwanese launched a series of motherboards with an abundance of modern high-speed interfaces, and in 2022 they were joined by video cards of the same name series, which, according to the company, will be an ideal option for a workstation with Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom, Autodesk AutoCAD and other specialized software.


At first glance, representatives of the ProArt family differ from other popular lines of the company only in appearance. The circuit board and blades of the turntables are painted jet black, while the shroud, blades and backplate are adorned with a golden hue that folds into a neat PRO logo on the back. There is no backlighting here, everything looks as strictly as possible, expensive and premium. Surely the guys from Apple would approve of such a design. Asus says it tried to separate ProArt cards from ROG Strix and TUF graphics cards in a similar way. In addition to visual design, they tried to make these GPUs more compact and quieter than gaming video cards.

The ProArt series range consists predominantly of NVIDIA's mid-range and high-end GPUs of the latest generations. At the time of this writing (note: July 2023), we are talking mainly about NVIDIA GPUs from the Ada Lovelace series - GeForce RTX 4060/4070/4080. The ProArt graphics card cooling system consists of an aluminum heatsink with a stack of heat pipes, a massive metal backplate and three Axial-tech fans. Under normal load, three fans do not rotate, the video card operates in a passive silent mode, being cooled by the air flow of the case.
