MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio 10G desktop graphics card in review
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 | 32.00"
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is high-end desktop graphics card based on the Ampere generation. It uses the big GA102 chip and offers 8,704 shaders and 10 GB GDDR6X graphics memory.
The gaming performance in 4k is clearly better than the old GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (approximately 15% faster). Therefore, even demanding games should run with maximum detail settings in 4k. Enabling raytracing will however reduce the framerate and therefore maximum details won't be playable.
The RTX3080 is produced in 8nm at Samsung and rated at 320 Watt but the power efficiency is still quite good.
