MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti DUKE review





We review our second MSI GeForce GX 2080 Ti card, and (if you are willing to spend the cash) this might be the one to get to be totally honest. Meet the DUKE, it's slim, as fast as the TRIO, roughly in the same area cooling and acoustics wise, but it is really, really good.

Having both the Duke and the Trio seems a bit odd. It looks like a slightly slimmer Trio in another color scheme, and while the on-paper specs are not identical, the final performance basically is. So ultimately, the cards are very similar, and the price difference right now in Europe at least is only €30.
There must be some bigger differentiating factor that I'm missing here.

Gaming X TRIO is MSI's flagship product, kinda like Asus' STRIX.
There are some differences, between Duke and TRIO. TRIO has heavier beefier cooler and it shows in temp/noise comparisons.
Duke 74C @ 39 dBA
TRIO 73C @ 37 dBA

All very nice MSI,but where is my favourite RED colour scheme?...my 1080 Gaming X in Black /Red is a wee cracker.....these RTX cards are "One Step Beyond" what i would be willing to pay for a decent graphics card...
Built a new system late last year based on Ryzen 7 1700/ Crosshair Hero v1 and a new monitor Asus ROG Swift PG278...so had to budget on my graphics card...probably wait 'till RYZEN 2 7nm before i build another new system.

That is quite impressing OC with the OC scanner. Recon it has something to do with MSI cranking up the power limit?
It´s a great looking card, performs good, and even better when OC´d.
Solid review, as always.
