The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X 10G OC is a factory‑overclocked graphics card that uses NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 GPU based on the Ampere architecture. This card is designed for high‑performance gaming, creative workloads, and 4K resolution scenarios. It carries 10 GB of ultra‑fast GDDR6X memory on a 320‑bit bus, and features 8,704 CUDA cores. The boost clock is rated at 1,740 MHz.

Specifications and performance

In terms of core architecture, the RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X 10G OC uses the GA102 GPU die, with a memory speed of 19 Gbps effective. The memory bus width is 320‑bit, achieving a memory bandwidth of approximately 760 GB/s. Output support includes three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors and one HDMI 2.1 port and supports a maximum digital resolution of 7,680 × 4,320. The recommended system power supply is 750 W, and the card draws up to 320 W of board power under full load.

Cooling, build and design features

MSI has equipped the card with its Triple Fan thermal design featuring TORX Fan 3.0 technology, which combines traditional and dispersion fan blades to increase static pressure and airflow. The card also uses a precision‑machined Core Pipe heat pipe system for efficient heat transfer from the GPU to the full length of the heatsink. Additionally, the card includes a graphene composite backplate which both reinforces the structure and contributes to passive thermal conduction. The card’s dimensions are 305 mm in length, 120 mm in width, and 57 mm in height.
