MSI GeForce RTX 5080 VANGUARD SOC Graphics Card

Based on the Blackwell architecture, the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 VANGUARD SOC Graphics Card takes your gaming and content creation to new levels with the power of real-time ray tracing and AI. This GPU features 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 256-bit memory interface, delivering improved performance compared to the previous Ada Lovelace-based generation.

With DisplayPort 2.1b and HDMI 2.1b outputs, you can connect up to UHD 8K 7680 x 4320 resolution displays. Not only does the RTX 5080 deliver high-resolution gaming, its 10,752 CUDA cores may be used to accelerate computationally intensive tasks with compatible applications and APIs. The clock speeds can reach up to 2745 MHz when overclocked.

A dual BIOS allows you to choose between a full-performance gaming mode or a low-noise silent setting. DrMOS power stages, high-efficiency chokes, and additional fuses deliver reliable electrical performance while the thickened copper layer and thermal padding quickly dissipate heat.

The STORMFORCE fans enhance air pressure with seven claw-textured blades while a circular arc optimizes airflow. A built-in vapor chamber quickly absorbs heat from the GPU and VRAM and transfers it to the core pipes, which have a square-shaped contact area for maximum efficiency.

Carbon fiber accents and RGB lighting enhance the aesthetics of your system with vibrant effects. A metal backplate adds stability while large airflow vents help to maintain cooling efficiency. An adjustable support stand is included, which may be attached to your case to help support the card.

The GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs can create generative AI models at twice the speed of the previous generation with a smaller memory footprint, enabling powerful video editing, 3D rendering, and design tools.

You can render large 3D scenes in real-time and create complex animations with ray tracing using compatible GPU-accelerated applications such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D, and Blender. Visualize photorealistic materials as you create them and experience near lag-free interaction in addition to using tools such as AI-enhanced denoising and frame-boosting with DLSS 3.

GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs deliver a generational leap in NVIDIA encoders and decoders with support for the 4:2:2 pro-grade color format, multiview-HEVC (MV-HEVC) for 3D and virtual reality (VR) video, and the new AV1 Ultra High Quality mode. Accelerate AI effects with Tensor Cores on RTX 50-Series GPUs. Play back and edit ultra-high resolution video smoothly without pre-caching or generating proxies in Adobe Premiere Pro, Blackmagic Resolve, REDCINE-X PRO, and more. Use Auto color, Shot match, and RTX GPU-accelerated color grading to get to the ideal color in Blackmagic Resolve.

Rapidly enhance and style your images with 30+ GPU-accelerated features and effects such as Select and Mask, Camera RAW, Blur Gallery, and Smart Sharpen in Adobe Photoshop. Automatically give your RAW images crisper detail, better color rendering, and fewer artifacts using the RTX-accelerated AI "Enhance Details" feature in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic. Quickly interact and zoom in and out of complex vector graphics smoothly, thanks to GPU-acceleration in Adobe Illustrator. Instantly visualize your 2D art in photorealistic 3D with RTX GPU-accelerated rendering in Adobe Stager.
