MSI RTX 5080 16G Inspire 3X OC Black

The MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G INSPIRE 3X OC BLACK is the seventh of the ten RTX 5080 listings in this guide, at £1,486.49. That is £196.50 above the cheapest card here (£1,289.99) and £278.25 below the dearest (£1,764.74). MSI's own specification table on the listing gives the GPU clock as 2640 MHz, the memory as 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit interface, and the recommended PSU as 850W or higher.

The number to ignore on this page is the one in the memory-clock field, which the MSI listing prints as "30 MHz". The same listing's bullets describe a 30 Gbps memory part, so the field has dropped the units — and this card is one of three MSI models in this guide showing "30 MHz" where a 30 Gbps figure belongs. The GPU clock of 2640 MHz sits in the same range as the rest of these cards, and the card's core hardware is identical to the others: 16 GB GDDR7, a 256-bit bus and an 850W recommended power supply. What the extra spend buys over the cheapest card here is the triple-fan cooler, the factory overclock and the 2.5-slot, 288mm body — not memory capacity. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing of our own.
