If you can remember our MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO, I deemed that product to be a classic (albeit an expensive one). All of the sudden a GAMING Z TRIO just surfaced at MSI, mind the Z.

Initially, when looking at the specs it all seemed a little familiar, however, the Z model is well .. the same product, however now with 16 Gbps specced memory. So the story goes like this:

MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO (review)

Boost: 1,755 MHz / Base: 1,350 MHz
Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)

MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING Z TRIO

Boost: 1,755 MHz / Base: 1,350 MHz
Memory 16.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)

Interesting right? We might see a completely 2080 Ti rehash from AIbs with a new type of GDDR6 memory.

Updated: MSI outs a press-release on the new SKU.

Pointless, as no game uses more than 8 gigs of Vram.

Sure you can, After doing some research, the total number of pc games ever made comes out to 1,181,019.

You can name 4 that use over 8 GB of Vram? well done, that certainly justifies 16GB of Vram and all the extra costs associated with it
