Corsair, however, remains one of the few veteran players that has maintained its position and has several offerings on our list of top memory kits.

In this review, we benchmark the GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X Trio from MSI; yes MSI is back with a new Gaming X Trio, with that TRIO, of course, short for a triple-fan solution with an otherwise heavily customized product. With their aim to perform at low acoustics combined with a beautiful design card, lets start this review, shall we?…

MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO 10G
Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro OC
ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC
The most notable change from a user point of view is that instead of the strange 12 pin power input the Founders Edition had, the MSI Gaming X Trio has a more familiar power input setup, with three 8 pin PCIe connectors on the right hand side rather than in the middle.

As one of the more affordable options in the ASUS Ampere RTX 3080 range, the TUF follows the Nvidia setup very closely, except for the addition of the triple fan cooler. This particular model has a factory overclock, although neither the packaging nor the specifications table on their website specify exactly how much quicker this is than the default TUF.

On the face of it, the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Eagle OC appears to tick all the boxes for a third-party graphics card. It has a large, triple-fan cooler, factory overclocked core, RGB lighting, full length metal backplate, and tweaked power delivery compared to a reference board. Considering it is coming in at that £649 MSRP, then, it certainly sounds impressive on paper.

Zotac’s custom design focuses on meeting all the expectations of the DIY premium gaming segment, including a low-noise design, decent overclocking headroom, and a fair bit of ARGB bling to brighten up high-end gaming PC builds.

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. Most PCB sag usually happens around the power connectors and it seems to be a topic among comments on forums. 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.

For that extra cash, MSI promises increased performance, lower noise levels and lower temperatures, while also offering plentiful RGB lighting for those looking for some bling.

The Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro OC is the company’s premium RTX 3080 Ampere product, targeted at 4K UHD high-end gaming PC builds with the right balance of bling and practicality. This is one of the few custom-design cards we have with us in this review that sticks to the standard full height. The Gaming Pro OC board design involves a chunky triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution with copious amounts of metal and minimal use of RGB bling.
