MSI RTX 5080 Expert Details Pop Up Online at a $1,399 Price
Info on the MSI RTX 5080 Expert card has shown up online. It shows a price and what the card has. The MSI store in the U.S. has the card priced at $1,399.99. This card is not like other shop cards because it uses a two-fan cooler that looks like the ones NVIDIA made before.
A Different Way to Keep Cool
The RTX 5080 Expert uses a fans system. One fan pulls air in at the bottom and pushes it out at the back. Another one on the backplate side gets hot air out at the top of the card. These fans move air through a high-tech cooler with square pipes.
The whole card is made with an aluminum frame to keep it strong, and it is covered with a cover that hides the inside, except for the 16-pin power plug.

Next Step from the RTX 4080 Super Expert
This card is the next make of MSI's Expert line and uses the same kind of cooler as the RTX 4080 Super card. The main changes are small style parts like the color of the backplate and fan hub sticker on the RTX 5080 Expert.
A key size change is the card's thickness. While the RTX 4080 Super Expert needed three PCIe slots, the RTX 5080 Expert is a bit thinner and takes up just two slots, helping it fit better in cases.
The MSI Expert line is one of the few shop cooler ways that gets ideas from the fans way used in NVIDIA's RTX 30 and 40 series made coolers.
