Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super Silent and an overclocking beast, put the card in Gaming Mode and used MSI Afterburner to push the GPU 400MHz and the Memory by 2000Mhz. Passed all stress tests and the card gets to a max of 65 degrees celcius. On the bad side (and this is really NVIDIA not MSI) its over priced, mainly because NVIDIA truly is a Monopoly right now.

Coming from a 2060S this card has been a massive upgrade. Awesome performance and plays anything max settings in 1440p. Even does 4k quite well to. The price is a bit high, however you can decide if its truly worth it for you. I will be using card for the next 8years so it was worth it to me.

This is hands down the best model out of all 5080s. Its smaller(dimentions)/lighter(sag purposes) compared to other models so it fits nicely in cases. Its also cools pretty nicely even though its not chunky like the other models (suprim and vanguard) and super quiet. I love it so far

This graphics card is an absolute beast! It crushes anything I throw at it while running cool and quiet. I love the design and branding; MSI is hands down my favorite gaming hardware brand. Despite the price hike, I’m still happy I got to upgrade from my RTX 3080.

This card like all high end GPUs has coil whine, but it is so quiet, unnoticable unless your half an inch from the GPU. It runs so well, and smooth and again so quiet.

I work as a video editor, so having a powerful card that can handle multiple programs and files is essential. The 5080 has been exporting 30-minute shows with captions in only a few minutes. This has greatly increased my productivity. Haven't had any issues while gaming or holding up my 4 monitors. It was easy to install and the LEDs don't overpower the look either, and if you decide to put it in a vertical orientation, it still looks phenomenal. This doesn't come with its fair share of cons, though. One being the price is steep, and depending on what you are upgrading from, I wouldn't suggest this card if you have a 40 series, as the price to performance difference isn't much so you wouldn't be gaining much. Maybe it's how I measure, but Best Buy says the height is 338 mm. I consider that the length is when you have it in your case, that number corresponds with the length of the case. That is about 13.3 ins, so keep that in mind about the case you are getting, as it will go past your motherboard most likely and get close to side panel fans if you have a fish tank type case.

I’ve been running the MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16G GAMING TRIO OC for a couple of weeks now, and it’s safe to say—this thing is a monster in all the right ways. Performance: The raw power of this GPU is insane. With the new GDDR7 memory and PCIe Gen 5 interface, load times are basically non-existent, and I’m hitting max settings at 4K in every modern game I’ve thrown at it. Frame rates are buttery smooth—even in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing on. Cooling & Noise: MSI’s GAMING TRIO cooling system does a phenomenal job. Even under load, temps stay well under control, and the fans are whisper-quiet. I’ve seen temps hover around 65-70°C under full load, which is impressive for a card this powerful. Build & Design: It’s a solid, hefty card with a premium feel. The black finish and subtle RGB give it a clean, high-end look without being over the top. Just keep in mind—it’s a big card, so make sure your case has room. Future-Proofing: With PCIe Gen 5 support and 16GB of ultra-fast VRAM, this card is clearly built to last for several years. If you're building a high-end system or upgrading for the long haul, the 5080 is a strong investment. Verdict: Yes, it’s expensive—but you’re getting top-tier performance, excellent thermals, and next-gen features. For serious gamers, content creators, or anyone wanting a future-proof rig, the MSI RTX 5080 GAMING TRIO OC is an easy recommendation.

Upgraded to the MSI Gaming Trio 5080 recently, and honestly, it’s been an absolute game-changer. I was a little apprehensive about all the hype surrounding AI frame generation, but after putting it through real-world gaming tests, I’m fully converted. I’ve been playing titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3, and the performance has been incredible. Everything runs buttery smooth, even with settings cranked to ultra, ray tracing maxed out, and all the bells and whistles turned on. The AI frame generation feature sounded gimmicky at first, but it genuinely delivers a noticeable boost—especially in demanding scenes where traditional performance usually dips. Visually, the MSI Gaming Trio 5080 is a beast too: • Triple-fan cooling keeps temps low and stable • RGB lighting is tasteful (not obnoxious) • Build quality feels solid, premium, and reassuring when you’re dropping this kind of cash. Long story short: If you’re on the fence, especially about AI frame generation, don’t be. This card is an absolute monster and it’s genuinely made my gaming experience better than ever.

Beast of a card. Handles 1440p gaming without a sweat. Runs cool and quiet on game mode. Havent ovetclocked, but not sure if i need to! Highly recommended.

This MSI RTX 5080 is an absolute powerhouse! It runs cool, staying below 65°C even under heavy loads, and is practically silent 99% of the time. When the fans do spin up, they’re barely noticeable. Performance-wise, this card handles everything effortlessly—I haven’t even needed to overclock it. My only minor gripe is the RGB; it’s barely visible, which is a missed opportunity for those who love flashy setups. That said, the sleek design and top-tier performance make this an easy recommendation for any gamer or creator looking for a top-tier GPU.

Great card better that my rx 7900 xtx and performance better and cooler

This card has been fantastic. Its a huge upgrade from my 3060 ti and fits perfectly in my case. Its on the bigger side of cards and comes with a stand to help prevent sagging so be aware of that. It is a bit more pricey, over $1500 for a graphics card is a huge ask and I can see it being a deterrent to others.

Upgraded from a 4080 Suprim and I was fully expecting this card to be just as thick. Although, it is a little too wide and I had to purchase a 90 degree adapter for the power cables. For what this card cost, MSI could have thrown that in! Definitiely worth the buy regardless. Runs smooth and without any issues.

Great card highly recommend. Hard to get but well worth the effort.

I upgraded from a 307, was able to snag this. It works great. No perfomance issues, great performance, extremly queit, does not run hot. Sits around mid 60’s C under full load while playing graphicslly intense games like Stalker 2 and Kingdom Come 2. I definitely love MSI as well, so I am happy

We all wish the 5080 was better than the 4090. Coming from a 3080 Ti, I am happy with this upgrade. It's stable at +400 Core and +1000 Memory, currently benching around the low end of 4090 benchmarks. It has little more in it to be found, I haven't even pushed it to instability.

MSI and Best Buy are a winning combination. Great for gaming and regular computing. Make sure you update to the newest drivers and you are off to the races with excellent framerates. While MSRP is a distant dream, I got mine for a good price and wouldn’t have bought it if I didn’t want too. I was at a 7900XTX with 50-75 fps and now get 120-160 on maxed settings

Pretty expensive card, but this thing is a beast. Overclocks like a champ and performance is incredible. I wish there was a bit more VRAM in it, and the price is higher than I would like, but I'm happy with it.

I upgraded from a 4060ti and the increase in performance is amazing. It runs my games smoothly in 4k! Securing the 5080 was well worth it!

Has been awesome so far. Have to use the older Nvidia drivers from March to play MHWilds and Oblivion Remastered right now but they still run great. Will probably check out the 5080 Super when it's released as it will have a lot more VRAM.
