I took a closer look at the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio and found that MSI does not offer a recycled shrinkage of the already tested GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, but is already a bit of a bigger part of the board and also the cooler. Map distinguishes. This doesn't even have to be a disadvantage in terms of performance and cooling, if you just do it smartly enough. But for that I have the test and colorful enough the card is always.
The 1525 heavy card is a whopping 32.5 cm long, measures 13.5 cm from top edge slot panel to top edge graphic card case and is 5 cm thick. In addition, there is another 0.5 cm for the backplate in brush look. This allows it to quickly encounter space problems if the housings are too small. The cover is made of plastic in the base and of course there is still a lot of (background) illuminated area on the front and bottom, which can be regulated by driver and can also be switched off . This includes the GeForce logo on the top.
The sheer length also results from the fan assembly with two 9.5 cm fans and an 8.5 cm fan, all with 14 rotor blades, the cooling fins of the approximately one kilo heavy heat sink are arranged vertically and in two blocks. A thick 8 mm heat pipe and five 6 mm heatpipes then distribute the waste heat to the said cooling fins.
The connection options are analogous to the reference of the normal average. You are offered three DisplayPort1.4, one HDMI2.0 and USB-C jack on the slot panel. MsI delivers this card in contrast to the larger GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio with "only" two external ATX power supply connections, which you can also need. But more on that. MSI gives the card a maximum power limit of 285 watts, ex works a Power Target of 260 watts is preset.
The screenshot of GPU-Z gives us a first impression:

Test system and measurement methods
We have already described the new test system and the methodology in detail in the basic article "How We Test Graphics Cards, as of February 2017" and therefore refer to this detailed basis for simplicity. Description. So if you want to read everything again, you are welcome to do so. However, we have again improved CPU and cooling to largely exclude possible CPU bottlenecks for this fast card.
If you are interested, the summary in table form quickly provides a brief overview:
