MSI showed off their GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning at CES 2019. This latest and greatest offering from them is built around overclocking with the graphics card having been designed with a 19-phase power delivery subsystem and 3x 8-pin power connectors. It offers a dual BIOS support with the default BIOS coming with a factory overclock of 1770 MHz while the second BIOS is configured for LN2 and comes with NVIDIA's reference clock speeds but offers a boosted power limit of 350-watts. Display connectivity options consisted of 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI and 1x USB Type-C output for VirtualLink. The MSI RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z will be available in the first quarter of this year however pricing was not revealed. Personally I don't like the look of the card.

    Those support brackets should be standard regardless of how little they feel the VGA weighs.
     
    Card looks good. RGB is a mess, with the lights reminiscent of a 1980's new wave themed high school prom. No lit up MSI Dragon on the backplate? If you're gonna RGB, take some notes from ASUS' ROG brand caparisons.
     
    Speaking of which, I think EVGA needs a logo revision. Something that says best customer service. Like a roaring tiger, and place it in the spot the G currently occupies.
     
    Anyway: '......GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z running with a boost clock as high as 2,475MHz and the memory overclocked to 2,054MHz (16,432MHz effective).'
     
    Well played, MSI.
