MSI RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO 10G

The Gaming X TRIO is one hefty card and the longest graphics card I have ever used, clocking in at 12.7 inches (323mm). It beats out the EVGA RTX 2080 TI FTW3 and PowerColor RX VEGA 64 Red Devil, which are both monster-sized already.

While the video card does have a stiff backplate, it still has a slight decline at the rear. MSI has thought of this and included a support bracket.

Gaming X Trio might not be the sexiest card, yet it’s got it where it counts. The thermal design, dubbed ‘Tri Frozr 2,’ incorporates a trio of Torx Fan 4.0 blowers promising a 21 per cent increase in static pressure, as well as a full-length heatsink interspersed with a series of a thick heatpipes. Ideal for taming the 320W underlying GPU and MSI doesn’t skimp on the finer details.

Palit GeForce RTX 3080 GamingPro OC

Today we’re able to lift the veil on even more Ampere-based goodness. On tap for you here, we have a custom GeForce RTX 3080 from Palit, specifically the GeForce RTX 3080 GamingPro OC.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founder’s Edition

Tastes vary, but I have to say, the new industrial design from NVIDIA for the RTX 3080 Founders Edition is as good as any consumer computer product I’ve ever seen.
