GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X TRIO

The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X TRIO is a graphics card built on NVIDIA Turing architecture for gamers and creators. It uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and fits standard desktop builds. The card ships new and carries the TRIO thermal design with three fans.

8GB 256-Bit GDDR6 memory configuration

The card carries 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit interface running at an effective 15.5 Gbps. This single specification decides whether the frame buffer capacity and bandwidth match the target resolution and texture workload.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and 4-display output

Installation requires a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and adequate case length for a triple-fan cooler. The rear bracket provides one HDMI 2.0b port, three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and one USB-C port, enabling up to four simultaneous displays at 7680 x 4320 maximum resolution.

Questions about this item

What does the 1845 MHz boost clock mean when the card is installed in a system?

The GPU can reach 1845 MHz under load when power and temperature limits allow, giving higher frame rates in games and compute tasks.

What does the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface cap in practice?

The slot provides up to 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth, which is the maximum link speed this card can use for data transfer to the CPU.

What physical space and power connections does the triple-fan design need to fit and mount?

The three-fan cooler occupies multiple expansion slots and requires a case with enough length and height clearance plus standard PCIe power cables from the PSU.
