Bought the MSI RTX 5080 Gaming X Trio — absolute monster of a GPU! Never even opened it though… my friends surprised me with a 5090 right after. Still, the 5080 is an insane card, and MSI nailed the design and cooling as always.

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 from my 3080Ti, absolutely love this device. Pairs much better woth non X3D processors and allows intel cpus to function better due to the additional power coming from the gpu. Great job!

I had an issues with first card but after I got the replacement I have been able to run everything on max. I am coming from a 3080 and this has been a huge upgrade. I no longer have to worry about getting lag or bogged down on some newer demanding titles. Also if it helps any MSI support was great in helping me getting this corrected along with bestbuy.

The msi 5080 is a great choice for gaming it handles everything I need at great fps as I have a 49 inch 1440p monitor and its paired with a ryzen 97950x it runs everything great and looks amazing.

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

Most quite graphics card out of the 5000 cards. Very great cooling temps and can max out on 4K on most of my PC games which is why i got this. Price is awful though it needs to lower for me to give it a better score

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.

Wasn't my first choice, but it's been solid. Temps are much better than expected (50-60 gaming) and idles are nice and low. Fits Antec C5 fine, I was worried about that. MSI seems to be one of the best AIBs with quality support.

Not that close of the MSRP, but its a good option, if you are coming from a 3080 (like me).
Wouldn't recommend to someone coming from a 4080 or 3090, but otherwise, go for it
Also, smaller than previous gen, and that's better for me, since im a SFF enthusiast
Solid but clearly a cut down product for more cost

If you're simply looking for an upgrade, this will certainly do it. But at the cost, it's going for its pretty ubsurd that theres basic safety features missing from the card. Its missing important temperature sensors are that it's very well documented, and the "high power" cable it comes with is missing basic voltage regulation of the cable. The performance is great, but the gritty details of the product really question the insane price hikes.

Phenomenal graphics card and fits in smaller cases because of its 2 slot design. Very quiet even when overclocked. For the price of many 5080s on the market as of now, this one if very competitive.

Great GPU more money than the cheaper 5080 but this runs so good. stays cool. Doesn't heat up my room like the 7800xt I upgraded from. Great Card , no issues at all.

I scored this card from BestBuy during a time when these were hard to come by. The card itself is exactly what I expected, but it's HUUUGE! Make sure your case has plenty of room. The price is right, and for scarce items you can order what you want and BestBuy will find it for you. Out of nowhere, BestBuy has become my go-to place to buy hardware
