With the launch of any new architecture there are new partner cards, and let's give you a quick run down of the MSI RTX Gaming X Trio in preparation for our full review.

That looks one beast of a cooling solution , interesting choice to have one smaller fan on one end , i guess so the NV link fits flush to the card rather than sitting proud
 
Somehow I like the cooler design, but then again the asymmetric design is making my head spin when I see it, LOL.
 
As much as I love MSI stuff I still wish they'ed effing stop putting red on their cards it's totally unnecessary sure you could argue it's only small but still it shouldn't be there or the gold dragon for that matter
 
Been up since 5 with a sore throat, but getting in some headphone/music time before the deliveries start (big day today). Will watch this at 8am when I am back on the speakers :)

I must say though I like this card the best. Mostly because I have a good idea of how hot RTX will be when RTing so the bigger the better.
 
beautiful cooler. Slightly spoiled by the red and the gold dragon on the side, which is pretty much what would be visible when in a case :( Gonna have to mod that part away.
 
two eight pin and one six pin PCI Express power connectors

This is a first for Nvidia if right? I can't remember any other cards with this much power need, 7990 devil 13 maybe? either way that's your electric supplier laughing :)

Cards look pretty good though, glad of the very minimal red
