GPU overview

The MSI RTX 2080 Gaming Trio is a GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-Bit bus and 2944 CUDA cores. It targets enthusiasts who want high frame rates at 1440p or entry-level 4K gaming and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5.

Installation notes

The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and measures 12.87" x 5.51", so verify case clearance and that your motherboard has a free full-length slot. Ensure the power connectors on your supply match the card's requirements and that airflow can reach the triple-fan cooler.

Pre-order checklist

Confirm your monitor uses HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4 or USB Type-C to reach the 7680 x 4320 maximum resolution. Check that your power supply has enough wattage and the correct PCIe cables for this model. Verify the operating system supports DirectX 12 for full feature access.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the boost clock is running at 1800 MHz after installation?

Use GPU monitoring software such as MSI Afterburner to observe the core frequency under load; it should report 1800 MHz when the card reaches its boost state.

What cables and accessories are included, and which display cables must I supply?

The box contains the graphics card, a quick-start guide and a driver disc; you must provide your own HDMI 2.0b or DisplayPort 1.4 cables for the 1 x HDMI and 3 x DisplayPort outputs.

Which RTX 2080 variant should I pick if I need 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-Bit bus?

This Gaming Trio model already provides 8 GB GDDR6 across a 256-Bit interface with 2944 CUDA cores, so no further capacity choice is required.
