MSI GeForce RTX 5080 INSPIRE 3X OC 16GB Graphics Card

Overview

The MSI GeForce RTX 5080 INSPIRE 3X OC 16GB is engineered for gamers, creators, and power users who demand cutting-edge performance. Featuring NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture and the latest technologies like DLSS 4 and Frame Generation, this GPU is built to push frame rates, render complex scenes, and accelerate compute workloads.

Innovative Cooling & Design

This card uses MSI’s advanced **STORMFORCE** triple-fan cooling system. Each fan has a claw blade design and seven blades, optimized with a circular arc pattern to maximize airflow while minimizing turbulence and noise. When temperatures are low, the fans shut off entirely (Zero Frozr mode) for silent idle operation.

Performance & Overclocking

Out of the box, the **Extreme Performance** mode via MSI Center boosts the card to **2655 MHz**. In standard mode, the boost is rated at **2640 MHz**. Combined with **10,752 CUDA cores** and a **256-bit memory bus**, this card delivers exceptional throughput across the board.

Memory & Bandwidth

The card carries **16 GB of GDDR7 memory**, running at an effective **30 Gbps**, delivering blistering bandwidth to handle 4K textures and high-resolution workloads. The 256-bit bus ensures robust throughput even under heavy loads.

Connectivity & Display Support

Output options include **DisplayPort 2.1b × 3** and **HDMI 2.1b × 1**, enabling support for up to **4 displays** and resolutions up to **8K (7680 × 4320)**. It also supports G-SYNC, gaming VRR, and HDR capabilities for immersive visual experiences.

Power & Build Quality

Power draw is rated at **360 W**, and MSI recommends pairing it with an **850 W or higher** PSU (ATX 3.1, 16-pin input). The card itself measures **288 × 112 × 50 mm** and weighs **950 g** (≈ 1.05 kg packaged). Its **nickel-plated copper baseplate** and **metal backplate** enhance rigidity and thermal dissipation.

Software & Compatibility

The card is managed through **MSI Center**, allowing users to switch between performance profiles, monitor temperatures, and fine-tune fan curves. It also supports standard tools like MSI Afterburner.
