MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X TRIO review 5

Oh yes, you figured we only had founders reviews to show, au contraire my fellow guru, in this review we'll peek at that beast of a card from MSI, we review the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X TRIO. A card with terrific looks, sweet cooling, and low noise levels.

Hey Hilbert,

Will you do a review on the MSI 2080ti Duke too ? And if possible a comparaison with the Gaming X Trio ?

I want to upgrade my 1080 but im not sur which one of the Duke or Trio is better performance wise (aside the RGB lights).

Thanks for your work, always a pleasure to read your reviews !


Yes Sir! I just popped in the Duke, will be testing it tomorrow and hope to have a review on-line late Friday or Saturday. I will include Trio result, yes.

Apple and Nvidia prices are becoming ridiculous. It's good though that the door for raytracing has been opened, but we haven't even really beaten 4K resolutions yet with "normal" rendition.

someone has to pave the way forward.
let the idiots do it i say.

I love how the word idiot gets thrown out every single generation when upgrading is concerned. Never fails. This could be a big upgrade for someone that hasn't upgraded in a while. Some people can afford it and that doesn't make them idiots.

^ Agreed.

No reason for calling people names because they decided to buy them, assuming everyone who does, doesn't know what they're doing. Not talking about the pre-orders without any performance metrics beforehand but purchasing the cards after the reviews.

At worst I would just call it a bad purchase based purely on price/performance. But that's it.

I saw no mention of it in the review, but asking just to be sure: Do you remember if there was any noticeable coil whine on this model?

Looking forward to the Duke review.

Duke review will be up in the next two hours.

No there is no coil whine I can hear. However I noticed with for example strange brigade that in the menu with VSYNC disabled you can hit 1500~2000 FPS, that will give coil whine with ANY card and brand though. But gaming wise, no.

What is the maximum power limit on this card?

The default is 100% = ~265 Watt

Then NVIDIA will say to board partners, you can have an allowance to ~130% = 345 Watt (if the specific design they submitted can cope with that).

MSI TRIO has 110% left for overclocking. That means at defaults the already apply some extra on that power limiter, 120% = 318 Watts. We verified that in the power consumption measurements at 315 Watts.

Herein is your answer to be found.

So guys buildzoid has done the PCB analysis of this GPU:

1. This one is using UP 9512 phase controller which supports up to 8 phases only and founder edition is is using MP2888 drMOS phase controller which supports up to 10 phases. Cost cutting by MSI ?

2. This GPU also don't have the power balancing circuitry like in the founders edition. I don't know will it effect the longevity and stability of this card but why MSI is cutting down on things like these.

Hi Hilbert, great review of that awesome card, I've got one question though. When you ran the Firestike benchmark, what was stated under 'Clock'? I believe mine's supposed to be 1775MHz (1350MHz) but Firestrike showed it as 1995MHz (1350MHz), is this 3DMark not showing the right boost speed?
