ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Gaming A8G Review

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is set in the year 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution and the “Aug Incident”—an event in which mechanically augmented humans became uncontrollable and lethally violent.

Unbeknownst to the public, the affected augmented received implanted technology designed to control them by the shadowy Illuminati, which is abused by a rogue member of the group to discredit augmentations completely. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Ultra quality preset at 1080p and 1440p. The Very High preset was used for 4K. We used the DirectX 12 API.

As expected, there is basically no performance difference between the ASUS ROG STRIX A8G and Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1080 options in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. ASUS' card is faster than the reference-clocked GTX 1080 FE, though the lead slims substantially as the resolution is cranked.

Worth noting is the performance that AMD hardware puts in with Deus Ex, given its Gaming Evolved background. Fury X isn't completely blasted out of sight by the Pascal cards, but if you want a clean 1080p60 Ultra IQ showing, the GTX 1080 is a solid option.
