MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SEA HAWK X liquid-cooled graphics card

Factory liquid-cooled RTX 2080 for 4K gaming

This card combines an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 GPU with a pre-filled closed-loop cooler and a short 268 mm board. The 2944 CUDA cores run at a 1515 MHz base clock and a 1860 MHz boost clock through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot. Eight GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus deliver 14 Gbps effective memory speed.

Step up from air-cooled RTX 2080

The factory-fitted liquid block removes the bulky heatsink and keeps core temperatures lower under sustained load. That thermal headroom lets the 1860 MHz boost hold longer in 4K titles and compute tasks. The single-slot width also frees expansion space inside compact cases.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 bandwidth ceiling

The 3.0 x16 link caps theoretical throughput at 16 GT/s per lane, which can become a bottleneck for heavy compute workloads or future GPU upgrades. Display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port and a USB Type-C connector for 7680 x 4320 resolution across four monitors.
