If you can remember our MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO, I deemed that product to be a classic (albeit an expensive one). All of the sudden a GAMING Z TRIO just surfaced at MSI, mind the Z.
Initially, when looking at the specs it all seemed a little familiar, however, the Z model is well .. the same product, however now with 16 Gbps specced memory. So the story goes like this:
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO (review)
Boost: 1,755 MHz / Base: 1,350 MHz
Memory 14.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING Z TRIO
Boost: 1,755 MHz / Base: 1,350 MHz
Memory 16.0 Gbps GDDR6 (effective data-rate)
Interesting right? We might see a completely 2080 Ti rehash from AIbs with a new type of GDDR6 memory.
Updated: MSI outs a press-release on the new SKU.
