RTX 3080 for playing in 4K
The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Z TRIO LHR is one of the first graphics cards on NVIDIA Ampere architecture. This second generation RTX architecture brings its share of optimizations, which the RTX 3080 will benefit from in the best conditions thanks to its 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and its 8704 CUDA cores. Looking for a 4K UHD video game experience with ray tracing? The RTX 3080 is for you.

Such performance requires particularly careful cooling, which the Gaming X Trio successfully achieves. Torx 4.0 fans redirect air to the latest generation Tri Frozr 2 cooling system, supported by Core Pipe heat pipes meticulously placed on the GPU to maximize heat dissipation, you get a well-regulated card capable of providing you with a smoothest gaming experience.

Finally, put some light into your machine by customizing and controlling the graphics card’s RGB backlighting and synchronizing it with that of your other components that are compatible with Mystic Light.

NVIDIA Ampere: the second generation RTX
With the Ampere architecture, NVIDIA not only offers a significant performance gain compared to the previous generation, but has also taken the opportunity to greatly improve RTX technologies as well as the performance and number of RT and Tensor cores, Computing units dedicated respectively to ray tracing (which simulates the physical behavior of light for cinematographic rendering) and to assistance in 3D graphics rendering via the Deep Learning Super Sample (DLSS). The results at stake? More fluidity and a reduction in the impact of ray-tracing on the number of frames.

RTX IO technology
In addition to its Ampere architecture for its GeForce RTX 30 series, NVIDIA unveiled RTX IO technology, a solution that allows data transmission directly from the storage medium (like your SSD) to the RTX GPU, without going through the processor! Clearly, part of the graphics card can relieve the processor of certain data processing tasks (such as decompression of textures) thus avoiding a bottleneck in the CPU cores and therefore benefiting from even better performance.
