MSI Geforce RTX 5080 Inspire 3X OC 16GB NVIDIA Graphic Card

The MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Inspire 3X OC 16GB (model G5080-16I3C) is built around the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, pairing a compact, professional-oriented form factor with high-end GPU performance. It is designed for gamers, content creators, and professionals who need serious rendering and compute capability without sacrificing case compatibility. At its core, the card runs 10,752 CUDA cores on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, clocking at a boost speed of 2,640 MHz, with an overclocked Extreme Performance mode reaching 2,655 MHz via MSI Center. The 16 GB GDDR7 frame buffer runs at 30 Gbps across a 256-bit memory bus, delivering substantial bandwidth for high-resolution gaming and creative workloads. NVIDIA’s fifth-generation Tensor Cores power DLSS 4, which includes Multi Frame Generation, enhanced Ray Reconstruction, and Super Resolution — allowing the card to render fewer frames natively while producing high-quality output with reduced latency. Fourth-generation RT Cores accelerate real-time ray tracing and are optimised for what NVIDIA describes as Mega Geometry workloads. NVIDIA Reflex 2 introduces Frame Warp technology, reducing system latency by incorporating the latest mouse input data into the final rendered frame. For creative and productivity use, NVIDIA Studio drivers and RTX-accelerated workflows are supported across major video editing, 3D rendering, and design applications. The triple-fan thermal solution — three fans mounted on a large heatsink — provides efficient heat dissipation suited to the card’s 360 W TDP. At 288 × 112 × 50 mm and 950 g, the Inspire is notably compact for a card in this performance tier, making it a practical choice for smaller builds. Connectivity includes three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b port supporting up to 4K at 480 Hz or 8K at 120 Hz with DSC. The card connects via PCI Express Gen 5 and requires a single 16-pin power connector. MSI recommends a minimum 850 W power supply.
