MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Aero 8GB GDDR6 graphics card

What this card is

The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Aero is a PCI Express 3.0 x16 graphics card built on the NVIDIA Turing architecture. It provides 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit interface with a core clock of 1.8 GHz. The cooler uses a single-slot fan design and the bracket carries one HDMI port plus three Mini DisplayPort outputs. Maximum supported resolution is 7680 x 4320 and SLI is supported via NVLink.

Who should buy and who should not

This card suits builders who need a single-slot RTX 2080 Super for a compact chassis or a multi-GPU workstation running SLI. It also fits users who specifically require Mini DisplayPort connectors for existing monitors. Buyers wanting a standard full-height bracket with full-size DisplayPort connectors, a dual-slot cooler, or a newer architecture should consider other models.

Deciding specification: single-slot width

The single-slot width is the critical constraint; it determines whether the card physically fits your case or multi-card spacing. Verify the slot clearance in your chassis before purchase. If your build requires a dual-slot or thicker cooler, this card will not work regardless of its performance figures.
