MSI Releases GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 SUPRIM SE Models
MSI has added another pair of graphics cards to its RTX 30-series staple. After introducing a new pinnacle-tier brand in the form of the SUPRIM X, which packs what best engineering MSI's engineers can muster, the company has now launched SUPRIM SE versions of the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 graphics cards. The difference is in the details: mainly, in the factory overclock and TDP. While the SUPRIM X cards feature MSI's highest TDP (280 W) and clocks (1920 MHz), the SUPRIM SE are much milder in those respects (240 W and 1785 MHz, respectively), while keeping MSI's SUPRIM cooler and power delivery design.
The lower clockspeeds probably signal slightly lower quality silicon than the one that goes into the SUPRIM X cards, but that also means lower pricing for essentially the same card. And who knows, you might be chosen by the silicon lottery should you choose this model's better-engineered innards compared to other MSI cards. Apparently, the cards are only available in some regional MSI websites, which may mean slow rollout to other markets, or their absence from their entirely.

That is, unless you have a "business" and you buy directly from the manufacturer so you can boost your
crypto farm outputinventory to sell at your shop.Saw five RTX 3090's today and eight RX 6900's, but the shop would only sell them in a system...
3090's not in the picture.
Everything else was 3060's or 2060's or "lesser" cards.
Are they close to msrp
Prices were close to MSRP up until two months ago or so.
You can check that shops prices here, good luck navigating their website though.

Any card over a 1050Ti is nearly non-existent. When they do come in, if you're not able to be at least an hour early to stand outside in line to have a chance to buy the few cards that come through a couple times a week, you won't see one.
We have advised our users to hold off to late 2nd, early 3rd quarters ... have seen some EVGA models on newegg for $830 - $880 or so but have had too many issues with EVGA to bite.
