MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SEA HAWK X hits the market

The GeForce RTX 2080 SEA HAWK X has announced late September last year already. And while the 2080 Ti version did hit the stores, the RTX 2080 SEA HAWK X was put on hold it seems. Well, the product is available ever since a few weeks.

The SeaHawk X Series graphics cards make use of hybrid cooling. The RTX 2080 SeaHawk X and SeaHawk X EK series get an 1860 MHz boost clock (1710 MHz). As mentioned availability has been difficult, the EU has seen some stock, USA less and the Asia markets right now see an availability announcement. The card, of course, is fitted with GDDR 6 8GB video memory and sees an auxiliary power connector in an 8+6 pin setup. The display interface is based on a DisplayPort 1.4 x 3, HDMI 2.0 b x 1, USB Type-C x 1. The external dimensions are 268x114x41mm for the card body, 154x120x52mm for the radiator section, and 1,370g in weight.

The problem with cards like this is cost, it makes sense on the top models but lower models puts the pricing too close to the next tier, why buy a beefed up 2080 for the same price as a entry level 2080ti.

because of throttling.
there are ppl that have more fps with a water cooled 2080(s) than with a ti.
or in my case, because i want the heat from the gpu to be dumped outside the case,
to lower gpu/cpu/case temps, and run everything inaudible without negative impact on temps (at least on low load).
LC 2080 (S) can now be had from 7-850, so not anywhere close to ti price.
