MSI's RTX 2080 Ti Gaming Z Trio is the first GPU to offer 16Gbps memory

Will this be the world's fastest RTX 2080 Ti?



Read more about MSI's RTX 2080 Ti Gaming Z Trio graphics card and its use of 16Gbps GDDR6 memory.

Can't literally all 2080 Ti's have the memory OC'd to this and beyond anyway? Last minute cash grab before the release of new cards?

No, not all of them can do that. These are 16 Gbps rated chips. There's a reason why most things on the market use 14Gbps memory.

The only other GPU to use 16 Gbps modules in the RTX 2080 Super, which then locks these chips to 15.5 Gbps because of potential board-related interference issues.

I'm sure most RTX 2080 Ti GPUs will support memory clocks to a certain extent, but not to 16Gbps.

I remember that a group of modders had to transplant chips from an RTX 2080 Super to get 16 Gbps from an RTX 2080 Ti. (found the link)

Also, I'm not sure if this can be called a "last-minute" cash grab when future RTX series graphics cards appear to be around 6 months away, if not longer.

Pretty sure most 2080Ti cards with Samsung memory will hit or get very close to 16Gbps.

Maybe not last minute but certainly stretching out (or eking) out the performance haha.

If Nvidia won't make an RTX 2080 Ti Super, MSI might as well make an alternative.

Isn't that technically the titan?

Either way I'm surprised no-one had done it before.

Pretty much. ASUS did make its RTX 2080 Ti White edition, which used 14.8Gbps memory. Not quite 16Gbps, but it was a step in the right direction.

Yea, an RTX 2080 Ti Super would pretty much be a Titan with less memory and fewer workstation certifications. It's not like Nvidia hasn't done that before. The GTX 780 Ti was better than the first Titan IIRC.

Will certainly be interesting to see what performance jumps we will see with the 3000 series and at what price!

Either way, I doesn't spose this card is much more than the average AB ti anyway.

Probably a tiny bump over the gaming X trio. I guess they want to go out as kings of the 20xx series as well as use up surplus stock.
