MSI RTX2080GAMING X TRIO graphics card

What this card is and who it suits

The MSI RTX2080GAMING X TRIO is a refurbished graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. It delivers a 1515 MHz core clock and a 1860 MHz boost clock across 2944 CUDA cores. The card targets enthusiasts who want high frame rates at 1440p or entry 4K gaming and need four display outputs for multi-monitor productivity.

What to verify before ordering

Your motherboard must provide a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and enough physical space for a 327 mm long, 140 mm wide, 55.60 mm tall plug-in card. The cooler uses a triple-fan design, so confirm case airflow and clearance for the support bracket included in the box. A 6-pin to 8-pin power adapter is supplied, but your power supply must still deliver the required 8-pin PCIe connection with sufficient wattage headroom.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

Under typical gaming loads the triple-fan cooler keeps GPU temperatures in check while fan speeds remain moderate, resulting in a quiet acoustic profile. The board draws power through a single 8-pin connector, and the factory boost clock of 1860 MHz sustains without aggressive voltage scaling. Idle power consumption is low, and the card drops to minimal fan RPM or semi-passive operation during light desktop work.
