PNY GeForce RTX 5080 ARGB EPIC‑X RGB OC Triple Fan 16GB GDDR7 – 3× DisplayPort 2.1b, 1× HDMI 2.1b – 16‑Pin – VCG508016TFXXPB1‑O – Available in Nairobi

Unleash next‑gen visuals and smoother gameplay with the new PNY GeForce RTX 5080 ARGB EPIC‑X RGB OC Triple Fan 16GB GDDR7 graphics card (model VCG508016TFXXPB1‑O), now available at Computers Kenya’s Nairobi store. This premium, factory‑overclocked (OC) edition pairs a robust triple‑fan thermal design with 16GB of cutting‑edge GDDR7 memory and modern display outputs—three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b—so you can drive high‑refresh 1440p and confident 4K setups without compromise.

With a recommended 850W power supply and a clean single 16‑pin power input (12V‑2×6 class), it’s built for reliable delivery under sustained loads while keeping cables tidy and thermals under control.

Why choose this RTX 5080 ARGB EPIC‑X RGB OC

• 16GB GDDR7 for today and tomorrow: The larger, faster framebuffer keeps high‑resolution textures, expansive worlds, and creator timelines responsive, improving consistency in tough scenes and helping tighten 1% lows.
• Factory OC + triple‑fan cooler: PNY’s performance tuning and high‑surface‑area heatsink, with multiple heatpipes and three optimized fans, sustain boost performance while maintaining comfortable acoustics. Fan‑stop at idle on many OC designs lowers noise during light tasks.
• Next‑gen outputs: Three DisplayPort 2.1b ports plus an HDMI 2.1b port unlock higher bandwidth, VRR, HDR, and DSC on compatible displays—perfect for 1440p esports panels, 4K/120 TVs, and ultra‑wide productivity.
• Updated power standard: The single 16‑pin (12V‑2×6) connector improves insertion tolerance and thermals versus older multi‑cable solutions. Pair with a quality 80+ Gold (or better) 850W PSU for best results.

Performance sweet spots

• High‑refresh 1440p: Enjoy ultra‑smooth motion in modern titles with a mix of high/ultra settings, tuned for stronger frame pacing and responsive input.
• Confident 4K: Dial smart presets and leverage AI‑assisted upscaling in supported titles for impressive 4K fidelity with steady, enjoyable frames.
• Creation and streaming: Accelerated previews, faster exports, and modern encode/decode (including AV1 class support—driver/app dependent) help creators, streamers, and remote collaborators move faster without sacrificing quality.

Cooling, acoustics, and ARGB style The EPIC‑X RGB OC shroud blends airflow efficiency with a clean, modern aesthetic. Triple fans direct pressure through a dense fin stack, while heatpipes spread and wick heat away from hot spots during long sessions. Expect quiet desktops at idle and controlled fan ramps under load. A reinforced backplate (typical for this class) adds rigidity and can aid in passive heat dissipation. For a visually cohesive setup, sync your lighting with motherboard software and elevate your rig’s look with matching peripherals from our curated Gaming Devices category.

Connectivity that future‑proofs your desk

• 3× DisplayPort 2.1b: On supported monitors, higher bandwidth and DSC enable extreme resolution/refresh combinations and razor‑sharp motion clarity—ideal for ultra‑wides and esports panels.
• 1× HDMI 2.1b: Great for 4K/120 TVs, capture cards, and conference displays, maintaining VRR/HDR where the panel supports it. Run up to four displays simultaneously to craft an expansive workspace for research, dashboards, timelines, or studio control.

Power, cabling, and case fit PNY recommends an 850W PSU for headroom across modern CPUs, SSDs, and peripherals. For the cleanest build:

• Prefer a PSU with a native 16‑pin (12V‑2×6) cable. If an adapter is required, insert fully until latched and avoid tight bends within ~3–4 cm of the connector.
• Ensure adequate case clearance (length, height, and slot width—this is a ~2.5–3‑slot class cooler) and maintain balanced airflow with at least one front intake and one rear/top exhaust.
• Use certified Ultra High Speed HDMI or DP 2.1‑rated cables to avoid signal dropouts at high resolutions and refresh rates.

Who it’s ideal for

• Enthusiast gamers targeting high‑refresh 1440p or cinematic 4K fidelity with modern effects.
• Streamers and creators needing quicker timelines, preview renders, and high‑quality, efficient encodes.
• Power users who want flexible multi‑monitor layouts with DP 2.1b bandwidth and HDMI 2.1b for TV/capture workflows.
• Upgraders seeking next‑gen memory (GDDR7), cleaner cabling, and strong thermals in a premium OC card.

Build pairing ideas Round out your system with an airflow‑optimized mid‑ or full‑tower case, a quiet 850–1000W 80+ Gold/Platinum PSU with a native 16‑pin cable, and a fast PCIe NVMe SSD to minimize load times.

Best‑practice setup tips

• Clean install: When switching brands/generations, use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) before installing the latest official drivers.
• Tune for consistency: Enable G‑SYNC/FreeSync, set panels to max refresh in Windows, and optimize in‑game settings to improve 1%/0.1% lows.
• Thermals first: Keep the GPU intake area unobstructed and maintain positive intake pressure for best cooling efficiency.
• Cable discipline: Seat the 16‑pin connector fully; avoid sharp bends and excessive strain.
