Important notes!
Note how the MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio is actually quieter than the RTX 3080 version. We doublechecked these results, and it's correct. This isn't due to fan speed, but some other component noise. Will investigate further.
Since games were retested using the Gigabyte Gaming OC card, the RTX 3080 results will vary slightly from the launch reviews last week.
Any questions? Not all test results make it into the video to avoid clutter, so just ask if anything is unclear!
