The ULTIMATE RTX 3080?! 🤩 MSI GAMING X TRIO Review (Gameplay & Benchmarks)

[@terryd8692]

You officially have more 3080s than Nvidia

[@PcCentric]

Lol

[@OutOfNameIdeas2]

This dude has more cards that the entirety of Sweden haha. Nvidia artificiall low stock didn't go that well for them. Me and a lot others is just going to get a big Navi if they get remotely close to a 3080

He used a bot to get them all 🙄

[@PcCentric]

For Clarification, the TUF temperatures numbers you see in this video are in the loud PERFORMANCE MODE, open case, and cannot be directly compared (I've tried to blur them out via KZbin). This screen was to compare power usage and clock speeds. The MSI can run a lot quieter if you ramp up the fans, but here i'm testing the cards in their default state. The Asus Tuf is generally a little louder but cooler, while the MSI is quieter yet hotter. I'd get the TUF and save the extra cash, unless you want to overclock and use more power, or prefer the MSI's design (which does look better IMO). Hope this helps!

[@yshaqNW]

I just want the FE card 😪 do you think we will get the 20gb card this year?

[@terryd8692]

Any others on the way?

[@Kizzster]

Others say the TUF isn't really that loud in comparison. Also the TUF is mainly aluminium vs MSI's plastic copy of a ASUS 2080 TI Strix 😂 TUF is also cheaper.

[@2014hessed]

when you noise normalise the cards, the TUF and MSI perform identically. So essentially your paying extra on the msi for looks and RGB. Hard time seeing how people wouldn't buy the TUF instead, its just better and cheaper

He shoulda just said it runs on the crushed dreams of people trying to get it at launch 😂

[@Anetti-w7s]

When comparing the temperatures between the cards you really should be noise normalising the fan speeds. But in case people were interested in the temps, at 7:26 the temperatures of all the cards were visible for a few frames. TRIO: 80 deg @1700RPM Founders: 75 deg @ 1700RPM TUF: 66 deg @ 2200RPM Trio seems to perform worse than the FE at the same RPM? Its hard to know unless we know how loud each fans are.

[@PcCentric]

I blurred them out because you cannot compare those - that's open case perf mode on the tuf vs closed case with the MSI. The MSI does run about 5 degs more than the tuf in its quiet mode, but the MSI runs quieter, so you can just adjust the fan curve if desired. It's very hard to compare these subtleties on video, I'm frustrated I didn't explain it better

[@nowiknow6005]

As soon as I see this video, I already know it's going to better than the one before. Keep it up man

[@nowiknow6005]

@@SiphonYT Yes, I think it should. The Corsair 280x has a max GPU length of 300mm and the TUF GPU requires the case to have a max length of 300mm so it should fit. It's funny you asked because last night, I was just looking at the 2 lol

[@NewmanOnGaming]

What I don’t understand about this card is having 3 power pins with a hard 370W power limit if I’m not mistaken.kind of defeats the purpose for a 3rd 8 pin.

[@sirjonsmithiii992]

Great review. You are one of the few that will give an honest review, including the negatives. Most others sound like a commercial and only stress the strengths of the product. I still like the Tuf though. Hope they become available eventually

[@fuzz7981]

Did you daisy chain one of 8-pins? Wouldn't that potentially cause power delivery issues?

[@N3ur0funk_Infinity]

It is dangerous because over the time one cable might degrade from heating and cause a fire inside a case. Better not to play with that kind of stuff.

[@CodeLeeCarter]

Thing is with all the extra cabling that's needed for this card, Why don't they design the card with the power socket on the PCIe side?... No more unsightly cables routing there way around the card.

[@Avean]

Used MSI primarily the last 3 generation of graphics cards. Trio X and Duke editions of MSI have always been number 1 in performance while at the same time beeing very silent. Crazy combo. Its worth the extra bucks in my opinion.

Don't worry about those cards. The 3090 don't overshine the 3080 really, with only 10-15% better performance. Those 20gb wont be better than the 3090 so you're fine with any standard 3080 for quite some time.

I cancelled my preorder of the trio for the tuf card. What benefits do you get with the trio other than the fact that it looks better (although how good does it really look with the anti-sag bracket and 3 power cables sticking out of it)? It's not cooler, it's barely more silent and it doesn't noticibly perform better out of the box judging from current benchmarks online, and I haven't seen anyone so far overclock it to an extent that it would make up for the 100$ extra (plus for parts you may need to upgrade along with it like the PSU).

[@fallis07]

Get some Cablemods and then the 3 pcie will look dope when you get a 24 pin cable-comb holding them together at the inputs!

[@jimimaru]

@@fallis07 I'm not so sure that would look much better, but even if that would be the case that would cost you like another 50 bucks extra. I don't mind paying a bit more for aesthetics, but the aesthetics fee for this particular card leave me unconvinced personally. It's a shame that we have such bad options this generation though. They all look ugly af. I come from an EVGA 1070 superclocked and compared to these 3000s that card was a piece of art, at least underneath. Another point that wasn't mentioned in this video is that the top cover is pretty much made of plastic on the trio, compared to the other cards like TUF which has more of an aluminium qualiy. I'm kinda surprised he didn't mention it in the video but I guess it was a sponsored video and didn't want to bite the feeding hand so to speak.

[@fallis07]

@@jimimaru I mean technically its graphene, but as long as the thermals are fine you aren't going to be rubbing the backplate against your face to feel the nice metallic finish like on the TUF. But I agree maybe it could have been better. My point was if u look at hardware unboxed or other reviews, once adjusting the fans on both TUF/Trio for Db's, they cool just about the same. OC on Trio is slightly better, and MY personal opinion I like the aesthetics of the trio a bit more, especially when mounted vertically which is what I plan to do. The TUF is definitely an amazing card for its price though, as it is the cheaper card, but if you don't mind spending a bit extra you cant really go wrong with the X Trio.
