Product overview

MSI’s GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio 12G LHR launched in January 2022 as an Ampere (RTX 30‑series) refresh of the RTX 3080, upping VRAM to 12GB GDDR6X on a 384‑bit bus at 19 Gbps. As a high_end 80‑class card, it exists to add VRAM/bandwidth headroom versus the original 10GB model for high‑res gaming and creation. It’s well‑suited to 1440p and entry‑4K gaming, ray tracing with DLSS, and content creation/rendering. Outputs are 3x DisplayPort 1.4a and 1x HDMI 2.1. Board power is 390 W via three 8‑pin PCIe connectors, with a 750 W PSU recommended. The 323 × 140 × 56 mm cooler effectively makes it a near‑triple‑slot card, so check case clearance.
