The burly MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio is here, however the residue has scarcely chosen the dispatch of the Msi Geforce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio. There’s something else to come from both Nvidia and opponents AMD.
While the dispatch of the MSI Geforce GTX 1660 TI Gaming X that hasn’t been a smooth one, with early stage problems as nonexistent stock and some probably transient equipment as well as programming and additionally firmware issues, we return to the way that the RTX 3080 is an outright monster of a GPU that offers marvelous worth versus the 2080 Ti.
With the RTX 3080 Founders Edition released, the storm of outsider cards has authoritatively started. Today, I’m checking out the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio, the greatest and flashiest RTX 3080 I’ve laid hands on, to perceive how it piles up. At $50 more than the Founders Edition ($749), is it worth a purchase?
The RTX 3080 keeps on being sold out all over the place, however when it does at long last return stock, is it worth spending that tad extra on one of the more costly forms of Nvidia’s new lead GPU? I’ve been trying the colossal Msi Geforce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio to discover.

Performance
Test framework: Z390 Asus ROG Maximus XI Extreme Motherboard, Intel Core i9-9900K CPU (stock), Corsair H115i PRO RGB 280mm AIO CPU Cooler, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3200, 1TB Samsung EVO Plus NVMe SSD, Corsair HX1200 1200-watt power supply.
To test the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio, I ran it through similar battery of tests as the Founders Edition, which included games and artificial materials, noticing the most extreme temperature all through. This is the way it performed:
As I’ve analyzed with past cards, I was interested to perceive how the Gaming X Trio performed contrasted with its last age partner, just as the RTX 3080 Founders Edition itself.
Thermal Performance and Noise Level
That additional exhibition includes some significant downfalls. Out of the crate, the Msi Geforce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio was the hottest card I’ve tried up until this point, topping at 75C, putting it comparable to the pinnacle of the Founders Edition I tried already. In my testing, I saw that fans never sloped above half, even at top temps.
This attempted to keep the card calm with commotion levels in accordance with my case fans under load. Since there was no fan preset in the rendition of Dragon Center I tried (just execution presets), I went to MSI Afterburner and turned on its “default” fan preset.
This empowers a sensible bend that runs higher prior on, however isn’t extremely forceful or noisy generally speaking. This bend pushed the fan speed to ~65% under load and brought the pinnacle temperature down to 69C, right in accordance with the Founders Edition while sounding extremely close in generally commotion.
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio: Design, Cooling, Aesthetics
On a very basic level, the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio is really like what we’ve seen from past age MSI cards. Certainly, it’s undeniably bigger than a portion of the other custom cards out there, yet it’s for the most part a similar plan as the MSI RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio (for the cooler and fans, in any event). It weighs 30g more, and the GPU, VRAM, and PCB are clearly unique, yet it’s anything but a fundamentally new cooler plan. Furthermore that is absolutely fine — “in case it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
The cooler is a 2.9-space plan, and since SLI isn’t upheld on 3080 cards, there’s very little concern of obstructing admittance to other PCIe openings. In any case, on the off chance that you’re expecting to do multi-GPU, you’ll be restricted to two cards all things considered in run of the mill ATX cases.
Three 90mm (92mm?) fans keep things cool. In a comparative however somewhat unique interpretation of fans contrasted with the Nvidia 3080 Founders Edition, these have a to some extent coordinated edge outwardly. Sets of two fan sharp edges are associated at the edge, rather than a ceaseless edge, apparently to expand the static strain and better direct the wind stream.
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio: Manual Overclocking
More voltage doesn’t appear to be exceptionally useful. I had a go at knocking voltage by +100mV, and regardless, soundness was more awful; even +50mV was conceivably more terrible. In our more top to bottom gander at the 456.55 drivers.
We saw that the voltage/recurrence bends were tuned down on the majority of the cards, which will in general help the possibility that voltage isn’t the restricting component when utilizing ordinary cooling. Thermals were additionally fine, essentially on the GPU — it’s conceivable some other component is overheating and that is the restricting variable on this specific card.
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio: Test Setup
A Core i7-8700K or Core i9-10900K doesn’t change execution much at 4K. The more established 8700K turns out to be all the more a restricting variable at 1440p. For Ryzen clients, the Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 9 3900X performed 5-7% more slow at 1440p, yet just 2% more slow at 4K ultra.
You can see the full specs of our GPU test PC to one side. We’ve furnished it with some top-level equipment, including 32GB of DDR4-3200 CL16 memory. A powerful AIO fluid cooler, and a 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD. We have two almost indistinguishable test PCs, one of which is prepared. For testing power use — that is the OpenBenchTable PC. The other is utilized for our essential gaming benchmarks. We additionally utilize the Phanteks PC for our FLIR warm recordings.
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio: Power, Temperatures, Fan Speeds, and Clock Speeds
MSI rates their Msi Geforce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio. Which is 20W higher than the Asus and Founders Edition cards. Considering the exhibition delta we found in the benchmarks, we were interested to check whether the power delta would appear. We use Powenetics in-line power observing equipment and programming. So we can report the genuine power utilization of the illustrations card. Powenetics likewise connects up with GPU-Z to record. GPU temperature, fan speed, and GPU clock speed, which we’ll report underneath.
You can peruse more with regards to our way to deal with GPU power testing, however the focus point. That we’re not reliant upon AMD, Nvidia or some other. GPU seller to precisely report how much power a GPU employments. We run FurMark as a most pessimistic scenario stress test, and we additionally run five circles. The Metro Exodus benchmark at 1440p ultra and record the outcomes. We’ve recorded the outcomes with both the 456.38 and 456.55 drivers.
Conclusion
In case you’re here straight from our Nvidia Founders Edition audit for the new Ampere RTX 3080. You’ll know about how immense the presentation is from these overhauled RTX cards.
In case you’re here without perusing that first, well clearly proceed to peruse. That as it subtleties generally that is new with the Ampere GPU. For simplicities purpose, we will update you. Greater, better, quicker, more is the foundation. The Msi Geforce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio when contrasted with the past Nvidia leader card, the RTX 2080 Ti. The Ray Tracing works better, the actual card is fundamentally quicker in each goal. Any blend of beam following being on, DLSS being on, or off, or anything.
It’s simply draining quick. DLSS merits an exceptional notice. As this second era of the innovation not just brings significantly greater execution gains. Than those we found in its restricted use on the Turing cards. Yet it additionally has a lot more keen picture quality. It’s having your cake and eating it, and something we can hardly wait. To consider executed in more games to be the future surges towards us.
