The MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G VENTUS 3X OC PLUS is a higher-binned version of MSI's value-oriented VENTUS 3X line, aimed at gamers wanting RTX 5080 performance with a no-frills black shroud and a smaller footprint than MSI's flagship SUPRIM/VANGUARD cards. Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture with 16GB GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, it boosts to 2640MHz in Gaming/Silent mode (2655MHz via MSI Center's Extreme Performance profile). Its compact triple-fan VENTUS 3X cooler sits on a 303mm-long, 49mm-thick PCB, supporting outputs up to 4K at 480Hz or 8K at 120Hz with DSC (max 7680x4320) and NVIDIA G-SYNC. Draws the full 360W TDP via a single 16-pin connector (ATX 3.1 PSU recommended); MSI recommends an 850W PSU.
