In this review, we benchmark the GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X Trio from MSI; yes MSI is back with a new Gaming X Trio, with that TRIO, of course, short for a triple-fan solution with an otherwise heavily customized product. With their aim to perform at low acoustics combined with a beautiful design card, lets start this review, shall we?

Would this card (or any 3080 for that matter) that uses 3x 8pin connectors still boot and work with just two connectors attached?
I remember years ago a graphics card that had 3x 8pin and you didn't need the extra 8pin as it was meant for overclocking the card on like LN2 or something. Can't remember what card it was though....
My card has x2 8 pin and x1 6 pin, i noted that the 6 pin draws very little on load and i suppose it would run without it, disabling a 8 pin though, i'd imagine that's another matter?

Hah, good one. Nope, I just tried,. First the most right then the most left one. The card does not post until you have three connectors plugged in.

Although I doubt this actually needs all 3 connectors (especially if you intend to undervolt), I doubt it'll work without all of them. You might be able to trick it though, by breaching the signal pin.
