Top to all tops

It is not so easy to advise mid-range cards: the choice on the market is extremely rich, prices fluctuate, and the situation changes like in the stock market during a crisis. If you need a top-end graphics card without regard to the price, then the advice will be unequivocal — take the RTX 2080/2080 Ti and play how you want, in anything and at any graphics settings you want. Even in 4K resolution.

One of the best variations of RTX 2080

Choosing between a simple 2080 and a model with the Ti index, we would stop at the usual one — the first version in an extremely successful performance from MSI. MSI GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO takes the first place in the top sales for a reason, since at the standard price of $900 for this card, it offers a full functional mincemeat (reinforced power supply subsystem, RGB lighting with synchronization, improved element base, etc.) , serious factory overclocking (although, it would seem, much more), and a non-standard TORX 3.0 cooling system with fans of various diameters, which cools a monstrous, voracious and hot chip with unconstrained ease. It's one of the quietest and coolest RTX 2080s we've tested.

Play 4K seamlessly

Many will reasonably ask, why such tricks, if the card is as strong as the Hulk? The point here is this: the now fashionable 4K resolution brings even the most powerful video cores to their knees. Therefore, even when buying a card for $1000, many enthusiasts have to keep in mind how much they can overclock it, how much power it will consume, and how to cool all this stuff. In the case of the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO, the answers are quite eloquent: in addition to factory overclocking, manually increasing the core frequency to 1855 MHz and the memory to 15800 MHz gives an additional 9% power. At the same time, the cooler operates at only 60% power and practically does not make noise, and the core temperature does not exceed 66 °C. For a card of this level, which was born to be powerful, hot and loud, this is something from the category of fantasy.
