MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 NVIDIA Computer Graphics Cards

The GPU arrived a lot sooner then I was expecting it would. There was a ANTI Static bag and a lot of bubble wrap in a sizeable box. I have been using it for about a week now and have had no problems downloading drivers. It came a little dusty but wasn't terrible being a lot cleaner then I was expecting. For those who do not know used GPUs often are very dusty. It a pretty good GPU to pair with a I3 12100/F. Blower GPUs are good for cases with low airflow such as sleepers (what I use) with it being a OEM cutting down a few bucks. The Thermal Paste was a little dry but it was not terribly dry going from about 85C to 82C after replacing the thermal paste. The one thing I wish is that I wish it had a backplate.

Great card and able to handle almost everything I throw at it on a 2k curved screen. Where it doesn't shine is when I turn all the settings up on newer games and it sometimes dips under the 100fps/60fps thresholds. I want to say it might be my CPU since my Laptop with a 2070 does a little better on the same games but also hits a limit when I have it running the curved screen. Other than that, I ended up getting a 2nd 2080 for my other computer to hold me until I could afford a 3070 to which I will put the 2080's into SLi and see where that gets the games to.

First off its quiet and very powerful, sexy and RGB TASTIC. It's basically a 1080ti with ray tracing, demolishes anything at 4k. Cons are fans don't ramp up until 65c and it doesn't have 2 hdmi ports. Other than that there are no other complaints.

I just upgraded from gtx 1060 to rtx 2080 and its amazing how fast and how much I can max out my graphics VR is better as well its worth it! Works great! Quiet and if you need to over clock its easy

Thankyou so much for this, I needed an upgrade from a gtx 750 and now I have one of the best rtx cards for only paying 75% of the price for this card.

Fantastic communication and easy purchase! Thank you!

Best of the best MSI!
