MSI GeForce RTX 4080 VENTUS 3X 16GB GDDR6X
The Ada Lovelace architecture and 16GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus push 24.7 FP32 TFLOPS, making 4K gaming and ray tracing fluid. The triple-fan cooler keeps the 322mm card within a manageable 2.5-slot footprint while operating at a 150W TDP. This card is best for 1440p and 4K gamers who want high frame rates with DLSS 3 without stepping up to the RTX 4090.
