MSI GAMING X TRIO GeForce RTX 2080

Built on the GeForce RTX 2080, this card packs 8GB of GDDR6X memory. Clocks run from 1515 up to 1860 boost, drawing 150W — even modest power supplies handle it. At 327mm long it needs a full-size case; display outputs: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1. 8GB of VRAM is workable at 1080p and 1440p with sensible texture settings.

Expect to pay around $985.00, which lands it among premium options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest graphics card deals from multiple stores.
