MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio review – Quiet, fast, colorful, cool and heavy | igorsLAB

I took a closer look at the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio and found that it is a bit different from the larger map in the board and also in the cooler. 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 map is always...

Overclocking

Pros: there is always a little bit in this card. But I have to push the bad news right away: it's worth less. In the cold state, this card creates stable 2085 MHz, as long as you let the fans turn up fully and use the maximum power target of 110%, as well as manually adjust120 MHz more clock for the GPU. With a normal fan profile, it is still up to 2010 MHz. This is a maximum of 120 MHz more than the card already manages with factory OC.

But it is rather the Power Target, which is already very high ex works, because we will see later that this card for this is also approx. 52 watts more power than the reference. If you overclock up to the stability limit, then it is almost 20 watts more. And it is precisely this last kick that is almost hardly worth it with a card that is almost scratching at the 2 GHz mark from the factory. Everything else then becomes a show for the energy supplier, because efficiency drops rapidly.

The memory also clocks a little higher from the factory, with another 150 MHz still loosein, also thermal. As nice as the 1-click tool may be, you can still achieve the slightly better overclocking values in the end.

We see that the difference to the GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition is between 4 and 5 percent, depending on the game. If you then continue to overclock, it is between 1 and 3 percent, which then come up again. This, in turn, is no longer necessarily decisive about any playability, but only for the gallery of vanities. It's also getting louder. But since it was always desired to put the OC results into the charts: gladly happen.
