MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GAMING X TRIO

Large and high-performance pre-top gaming graphics card for 2023 with 16GB of GDDR6X VRAM, support for new versions of hardware ray tracing and exclusive support for DLSS 3.0. Thanks to the updated support cores, the GPU is able to handle lighting and shadows in games more efficiently and realistically than NVIDIA graphics cards of the past and the year before. And DLSS 3.0 does not blur the picture as much as DLSS 2.0, while the efficiency of rendering algorithms has noticeably increased, which is especially useful when there is a lack of power at 4K resolution.

The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GAMING X TRIO belongs to the upper mid-range segment, part of MSI Gaming's all-in-one series with a focus on gaming and efficient cooling. Designed for demanding gamers, enthusiasts and esports players who plan to play in 2K resolution and do not want to limit themselves in any way. Also quite suitable for games in 4K resolution, however, in these cases, the average number of frames per second can be below 60, which will require lowering the graphics settings.

The accelerator is based on a powerful AD103 GPU with 9728 stream processors, factory overclocked to 2610 MHz and support for a 256-bit data bus. At 4K resolution with high graphics settings, the GPU delivers an average of 50-60 FPS in Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, A Plague Tale: Requiem and other beautiful games of recent years. At 2K resolution, the card feels like a fish in water, at Full HD its performance is excessive.

MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GAMING X TRIO differs from the reference NVIDIA RTX 4080 from - its length is 337 mm, it occupies more than three motherboard slots, and 3 massive TORX FAN fans with a massive radiator, a bunch of heat pipes are used to cool the GPU and memory and massive metal base. The casing is adorned with neat MSI Mystic Light Sync lighting. The power consumption of the GPU is 320 W, in order not to limit the possibility of overclocking, the manufacturer recommends using it with an 850 W power supply. The card comes with proprietary NVIDIA tools (Broadcast, Encoder, Reflex, Studio, RTX IO) for working with 3D graphics, optimizing streaming, reducing latency in signal transmission from control devices, speeding up texture loading, etc.
