You are looking at MSI's GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming Trio OC Edition, which features a similar yet slightly upgraded design that seems to be a 2.2-slot design instead of the 3.5-slot design of the previous RTX 4080 Gaming Trio.

The front shows that the card uses a similar triple-fan cooling solution, but this is a Tri Frozr 4 upgrade instead of Tri Frozr 3 on the previous RTX 40 series cards. Some features of the new cooling solution include the Stormforce Fans, nickel-plated copper baseplate, core pipes and a metal backplate.

 

Other than that, you can find some specifications, such as the 16 GB GDDR7 memory, 256-bit bus interface, and outputs, which include 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI connector. Some of the key tech features listed on the packaging include:

 

Dedicated Ray Tracing Cores
Dedicated Tensor Cores
NVIDIA DLSS
Game Ready and NVIDIA Studio Drivers
NVIDIA APP
NVIDIA Broadcast
NVIDIA G-Sync
Following is the current-gen MSI GeForce RTX 4080 Gaming Trio for comparison:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB Graphics Card
 

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card will be based on the PG144/147-SKU45 PCB and will incorporate the GB203-400-A1 GPU die. This card will utilize the full GB203 GPU die with 84 SMs and 10,752 cores, but that's a big -51% reduction compared to the RTX 5090. For comparison, the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 had a -40 percent difference in the number of cores, so the overall performance is going to vary by a huge margin.

 

 

Other than that, the RTX 5080 is also going to feature half the VRAM configuration with a 16 GB capacity running across a 256-bit bus interface while utilizing GDDR7 modules. The graphics card will feature the fastest GDDR7 memory on the market, offering up to 32 Gbps speeds for 1024 GB/s or 1 TB/s of total bandwidth. The graphics card will feature a 400W TBP. This will be a 25% increase in the power wall, but once again, the real-world figures should be very different.
