8 GB GDDR6 graphics card
The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER VENTUS XS OC delivers 3072 CUDA cores and a 256-bit memory interface for 1440p and 4K gaming. It connects through PCI Express 3.0 x16 and draws up to 250 W under load. The card targets enthusiasts who need high frame rates without a triple-slot cooler.
Sustained 1830 MHz boost behaviour
The GPU holds a 1830 MHz boost clock while the dual-fan thermal solution manages heat during extended sessions. Memory runs at 15.5 Gbps effective across the 8 GB GDDR6 buffer, keeping bandwidth stable in long renders. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 workloads remain consistent without thermal throttling.
Dual-slot build with four display outputs
At 10.12" long and 5.00" high the dual-slot design fits most mid-tower cases while leaving adjacent slots free. One HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors drive up to four monitors at 7680 x 4320. NVLink support allows a second card for multi-GPU compute tasks.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the RTX 2080 SUPER VENTUS XS OC get with its 250W TDP during extended loads?
The card carries a 250W thermal design power, so case airflow must handle that heat continuously; the dual-fan Ventus cooler exhausts into the chassis, and fan speed ramps with GPU temperature to keep the 1830 MHz boost clock stable.
What motherboard slot and power connectors does the RTX 2080 SUPER VENTUS XS OC require?
It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and draws auxiliary power through the card's onboard connectors; the 250W TDP means the system power supply must deliver sufficient 12V current for the GPU alongside the rest of the build.
Will the RTX 2080 SUPER VENTUS XS OC work with my older PCIe 2.0 motherboard and 1080p monitor?
Yes, the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, and the 1 x HDMI 2.0b plus 3 x DisplayPort 1.4 outputs support 1080p displays up to the card's 7680 x 4320 maximum resolution.
