Product Features

NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture Performance

Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores, this graphics card is optimized for high-frame-rate 4K gaming, real-time ray tracing, and demanding creative applications. The Blackwell architecture enables improved efficiency, faster AI processing, and enhanced visual fidelity.

Extreme Overclocked SOC Design

The VANGUARD SOC edition comes factory-tuned for extreme performance, reaching up to 2745 MHz in Extreme Performance mode via MSI Center. This ensures higher throughput in modern games and professional workloads while maintaining system stability.

16GB GDDR7 High-Speed Memory

Equipped with 16 GB of next-generation GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit interface, the card delivers up to 30 Gbps memory speeds and approximately 960 GB/s of bandwidth. This allows smooth handling of ultra-high-resolution textures, complex scenes, and multi-monitor setups.

HYPER FROZR Thermal Cooling System

The advanced HYPER FROZR thermal design features a nickel-plated copper vapor chamber in direct contact with the GPU and VRAM, combined with eight heat pipes for rapid heat transfer. This cooling system is engineered to maintain optimal temperatures while keeping noise levels low.

STORMFORCE Triple-Fan Airflow

Three STORMFORCE fans with seven-blade designs and claw texturing enhance airflow and static pressure. Double ball bearings improve durability and ensure consistent cooling performance during extended gaming or rendering sessions.

Dual BIOS for Performance or Silence

The integrated Dual BIOS switch allows users to choose between Gaming mode for maximum performance or Silent mode for quieter operation, providing flexibility based on workload and acoustic preference.

Reinforced Premium Build Quality

A rigid metal backplate with integrated airflow vents and thermal pads enhances structural integrity and aids heat dissipation. The triple-slot form factor ensures long-term durability for high-end system builds.

Next-Generation Connectivity and Display Support

With PCI Express Gen 5 support, DisplayPort 2.1b, and HDMI 2.1b outputs, the card supports ultra-high resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 and high refresh rate displays, making it ideal for advanced gaming and professional visual workflows.

NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing Technologies

Support for 4th generation Ray Tracing cores and 5th generation Tensor cores enables realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections. NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation boosts performance using AI-driven rendering for smoother gameplay and improved image quality.
