Triple-Fan 8 GB RTX 2080 Super

The MSI RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio is a full-length graphics card built around the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. It delivers 3072 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus for 1440p and entry-level 4K gaming. A boost clock of 1845 MHz and PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface complete the core specification.

Enthusiast builders with three-slot clearance

This model suits enthusiasts who want a factory-overclocked, triple-fan cooler and are building in a case that fits a 12.91-inch long, 5.51-inch high card. It also appeals to users planning a 2-way NVLink SLI setup. Compact-case builders or anyone limited to dual-slot spacing should look at a shorter, two-fan design instead.

256-bit GDDR6 memory interface

The 256-bit memory bus paired with 15.5 Gbps GDDR6 defines the card's bandwidth ceiling and directly governs texture fill-rate at 1440p and 4K. If your workload or target resolution demands higher memory throughput, a wider bus or faster memory is required; otherwise this interface matches the GPU's compute balance.

Questions about this item

Does the MSI RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio include any cables or adapters in the box, or must they be purchased separately?

The product facts list only the card itself with its 12.91" length, triple-fan cooler, and the 1 x HDMI 2.0b, 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a, and 1 x USB Type-C outputs. No cables, adapters, or mounting brackets are mentioned, so plan to source any required display cables or PCIe power connectors separately.

Which version of the RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio should I choose if I need maximum display connectivity for a four-monitor setup?

This single model already provides the full complement of 1 x HDMI 2.0b, 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a, and 1 x USB Type-C, supporting up to 4 simultaneous displays at 7680 x 4320 maximum resolution. There are no alternative versions with different port layouts in the supplied data.

What does the 1845 MHz boost clock mean for actual gaming performance once the card is installed in my system?

The 1845 MHz boost clock is the peak frequency the GPU can reach under load, paired with 3072 CUDA cores and 8GB GDDR6 at 15.5 Gbps across a 256-bit bus. Real-world frame rates depend on your CPU, power delivery, cooling, and the specific game settings at your target resolution.
