MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio in review – thick jaws, cool appearance

MSI has presented ti Gaming X Trio with the GeForce RTX 2080 and introduces its own new graphics card design. From the very beginning, MSI relies on a true custom design and its own cooler with three fans (2x 9.5 cm and 1x 8.5 cm) as well as with the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU102, has 11 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and offers everything else that we already know from the reference design.

The card, which weighs just under 1.6 kg, is a proud 32.5 cm long, measures just under 13.5 cm from the top edge of the slot panel to the top edge of the graphics card case and is 5.3 cm thick. Then there is another 0.5 cm for the silver backplate. This means that it can already encounter space problems if housings are too small. The cover is made of plastic with optical accents such as RGB lighting, which can be regulated and switched off by driver. This includes the GeForce logo on the top.

MSI delivers the card with three external ATX power connectors: two 8-pin and a 6-pin jack. According to the manufacturer, the latter must also be connected, although it is technically superfluous. All previous Turing cards with the TP102 did not reach 350 watts of power consumption for the entire card even with OC and raising the predetermined power target. But more on that later. 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:
