MSI GeForce RTX™ 5080 16G SHADOW 3X OC Graphics Card

The MSI GeForce RTX™ 5080 16G SHADOW 3X OC has been engineered to deliver exceptional gaming, AI, and creative performance with the latest NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4.5 technology. Equipped with 16GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, a 256-bit memory interface, and a PCI Express Gen 5 connection, demanding workloads, high-resolution gaming, and professional content creation can be handled with remarkable speed and efficiency. Advanced graphics technologies are supported to provide smooth gameplay, realistic visuals, and faster rendering across modern applications.

Reliable cooling performance has been achieved through MSI's advanced thermal design. TORX Fan 5.0 has been designed to generate stable, high-pressure airflow, while a nickel-plated copper baseplate quickly absorbs heat from the GPU and memory for efficient heat transfer. Core Pipes with a square-shaped design maximize contact with the GPU baseplate, and a reinforcing backplate with an integrated airflow vent helps improve heat dissipation. Performance can be monitored, customized, and optimized in real time through MSI Center, while MSI Afterburner provides advanced overclocking and system tuning controls.
