MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ventus 3X Plus 12G OC LHR graphics card

12GB GDDR6X RTX 3080

The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ventus 3X Plus 12G OC LHR is a graphics card built on the RTX 3080 GPU with 12GB of GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit bus. It delivers 8960 CUDA cores and a boost clock of 1740 MHz over a PCI Express 4.0 interface. This model suits builders who need the larger frame buffer for 4K workloads.

384-bit memory bus for 4K

The 384-bit bus and 12GB capacity benefit creators and gamers targeting high-resolution textures or multi-monitor setups. Users limited to PCI Express 3.0 platforms will see reduced bandwidth compared to the native 4.0 link. Buyers needing a smaller form factor or lower power draw should consider other models.

8960 CUDA cores at 1740 MHz

The GPU provides 8960 CUDA cores operating at a 1740 MHz boost clock, defining the raw compute ceiling for rasterisation and tensor workloads. This core count and clock combination determines whether the card meets a specific performance target. Verify that the power supply and case clearance match the card's physical requirements before purchase.
