    Upgraded from a 3080 10gb card. Needed the extra vram at 5120x1440. Overall, pretty good upgrade. Would recommend other than the $$$

    Card is extremely quiet even with the BIOS switch set to "gaming" (be sure to change this when you first install it for best performance, as it comes with the switch set to "silent" by default). Even in demanding games in a very warm summer room I've never seen it go over 72c, so it stays very cool. It's an incredible card, performance is outstanding and feature-wise it's the best card I've owned; the major drawback is that the price is smack in the middle of the absurd range. Price aside, the card is pretty much as good as you could possible hope for. Performance out of box seems to be up to ~10%ish over the FE cards, give or take a bit depending on the game, which is way better than I expected for a factory OC. It's even a pretty decent looking card, if that's something you're looking for, although the RGB is a bit much for me (it's easy to adjust with MSI's software, though). It's an outstanding card, but it better be for that price tag. If you build for your budget and your budget supports this, it's a great addition to your system. If you have any concerns about any other core components in your system, save yourself some cash and go with a 5070ti and spend whatever's left on those other upgrades.

    This graphic card is AMAZING!! Has a silent or OC mode that works effectively. Runs consistently high frames on even epic settings. Temps on this bad boy are insane, it does not ever go above 55 Celsius for me while gaming. I’m am throughly impressed with the quality of this card. It was worth every penny I spent on it. The design and lights look great. Does everything I need it to do and more. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I would. I matched this card with a Ryzen 7 9800x3d they run great together, a perfectly match! I average close to 300 fps with no frame generation on at all. With frame generation it goes even higher.

    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.

    Coming from a 4070ti super that i barely had for a year you can say this was a wild card buy.. according to tests and reviews this card seemed to only give about 15%-30% gains compared to my previous card. For someone who can only use 4k/60fps that meh % gains can actually make the games I play run at stable 60fps so I say it was definitely worth it.. the price is very hard to chew and it almost didnt fit in my case but made it work! Now time to play realistic looking minecraft with mods and shaders at 4k/60fps.

    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.

    Every game I’ve played runs smooth with great frame rates and the graphics look amazing. The card stays cool and quiet which I really appreciate. It is definitely on the expensive side, but if you can afford it, the performance makes it worth it.

    MORE POWER

    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.

    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

    MSI Gaming Trio 5080

    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.

    What a BEAST

    Hard to get and despite the high price and low generational upflift, this thing is a beast! Upgraded from a 3080 10gig and finally 4k maxed is a fluid experience on my OLED. Overclocks beyond 400mhz core (in which it draws over 400 watts at times) and gets it within breathing distance of a 4090 (albeit for barely less money and substantially less Vram). But for the next few years this will keep me happy before 6000 series releases with hopefully a smaller process node and thus much better performance, efficiency and thermals.

    What a beast of a card. I upgraded to get more performance in 4K gaming. This card did exactly that. While it is quiet, I don’t hear too much coil whine.

    GPU stays cool under load and quiet. Run everything i need it too at 4k 100+ Fps. Although it is a little too pricey in my opinion but i guess it beats scalper prices.
