MSI RTX 5080 Expert Review
Temperatures and Power Draw
Temperatures and Power Draw
The drivers on modern graphics cards are more willing to cap their performance when you hit thermal limits. This means that, by and large, most cards top out around the 80 degree mark. Power draw is far more important to note, just for energy bill reasons. However, the MSI RTX 5080 Expert makes full use of its gorgeous cooler by keeping it nice and cool, even under the harshest loading. Path ray-tracing at 4K and barely passing 70C is impressive.
