MSI has reportedly discontinued the production of one of its higher-clocked GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO 10G. This is according to emails sent out by Dutch retailer Alternate, which advised customers that it had no choice but to cancel preorders for the GPU because it was no longer being manufactured. A FAQ published on Alternate’s official page has also confirmed that MSI has decided to stop producing its GeForce RX 3080 GAMING X TRIO graphics cards. MSI’s GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO boasts a higher boost clock speed than the standard GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X (1,815 MHz vs. 1,755 MHz).
