The MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G EXPERT OC (P/N 912-V531-449) is a professional-grade, blower-style variant of the RTX 5080 designed for high-density environments such as workstations, render nodes, multi-GPU rigs and closed-chassis deployments. Unlike open-air triple-fan cards, the EXPERT model uses a turbine-exhaust cooling system that directs heat out of the case, making it suitable for rack-style enclosures and systems with restricted internal airflow.
Equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit interface, the card supports heavy multitasking, GPU compute and advanced graphical workloads, including AI workflows, physically based rendering, simulation and 4K/8K content pipelines. This OC edition provides a factory-raised boost profile for reliable elevated out-of-box performance without user tuning.
Connectivity includes three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b port, supporting next-generation displays, high refresh rates and up to 8K output. The PCIe Gen5 x16 interface ensures forward compatibility with new motherboard platforms and future GPU bandwidth requirements.
As part of NVIDIA’s Blackwell generation, this GPU supports DLSS 4, next-generation ray tracing acceleration, advanced Tensor compute and AI-driven rendering optimizations. A recommended PSU of ~850 W aligns with typical high-end system integration standards.
The RTX 5080 EXPERT OC is not targeted at RGB/gaming-showcase builds — it is engineered for professional reliability in thermally constrained or high-density environments where heat extraction and stability are more critical than aesthetic design.
