MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPRIM X, Gaming X, and Ventus 3X Pictured
Here are some of the first pictures of MSI's custom-design GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards. The company is giving the RTX 4080 (formerly known as the RTX 4080 16 GB); custom-designs across three of its graphics card brands. Leading the pack is the RTX 4080 SUPRIM X and RTX 4080 SUPRIM; in the middle are the RTX 4080 Gaming X and RTX 4080 Gaming; and at the entry-level at the RTX 4080 Ventus 3X, and the RTX 4080 Ventus 3X OC. The Ventus 3X is expected to stick to NVIDIA reference speeds, with the Ventus 3X OC having a mild factory-overclock. The RTX 4080 Gaming has a similar overclock to the Ventus 3X OC, but with a superior cooling solution that's splashed with RGB LEDs. The RTX 4080 Gaming X has a higher factory-overclock grade. The RTX 4080 SUPRIM has a similar factory-overclock to the Gaming X, but with MSI's top SUPRIM cooling solution; while the SUPRIM X has the company's highest factory-overclock grade.
The RTX 4080 SUPRIM and SUPRIM X feature a similar-looking board design to that of the RTX 4090 SUPRIM X, with a meaty 4-slot cooling solution, premium multi-tone metal shrouds and backplates, and the company's highest-quality PCB components and its top VRM solution. The RTX 4080 Gaming X and Gaming are middle-tier, still give you a reasonably well-designed cooling solution geared for gaming, which looks bright and colorful in your rig. The RTX 4080 Ventus 3X OC and Ventus 3X are designed to be practical. If you just want a close-to-reference RTX 4080 that you can install and forget about, the Ventus series is for you. NVIDIA is launching the RTX 4080 on November 16.

Anutha day, ANUTHA boring AF, lame ole same same GPU launch...
YAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
What I'd liek to know is the physical sizes of 4080's, will they fit SFF cases more so than 4090's or be reused designs? sub 300mm length plz
Everyone rejoice!
Like he says, same ol same old posts from him. I'm not sure whats the point of that but hey if thats what makes him happy/better his day then whatever I guess.:rolleyes:
And no, I do not wanna see a link to another website to look-up the prices/actual specs, cause I think that all of that info should be posted along with the PR's :D
And I don't wanna be rude either, but the last time I checked (.0728ns ago), everyone here is entitled to their opinions and can post almost anything they want, as long as it is not defamatory, derogatory, profane or false info... so if you don't like or agree with what I post, just ignore it & move on :clap:
I'm not a fan of certain news/leaks either, or when a new lineup of GPUs are 'pictured' and we have the whole front site filled with x-y brand and their cards instead of having all that under 1 topic but I still don't go around posting the same crap under everything I just ignore it like what you suggested.
Anyway I aint gonna waste more on this, do what you like.:)
Worse than that, MSI Mystic Light only runs in MSI Center, both are some of the most offensive, mandatory online-account, resource-intensive shitware I've ever had the misfortune of trying out.
Seriously, the cards are probably fine but Use OpenRGB and don't ever touch the software that you absolutely need to dial back (or turn off) the insane amounts of garish, cheezy-animation, rainbow-spew. Even people I know who like RGBLED say that the GamingX I have is completely unacceptable amounts of LEDs. They overwhelm all the other lighting in my case by an order of magnitude and it looks like I have a 300W stage spotlight under my desk if I don't do something about it.
With the main LED bar along the top edge set to minimum brightness, 32, 32, 32 "dark grey" colour, it's still the brightest LED in my case, but at least I can independently turn that off.
As for these models, I dont understand why the Ventus class exists at this price point. If you are spending more than a grand on a GPU, dont buy such a cheap cooler. If the 4090 is anything to go by, there is nothing performance wise between any of them, so the best pick of this lot is probably the Gaming X non-OC. Thats assuming you are unable to get an FE (and of course, thats assuming its also as well built and capable as the 4090 FE.)
It's all marketing. New corporate toys to fill the everlasting lust for things - remember, accumulating things is one of the most basic instincts since the time it meant getting a pile of berries which can feed a monkey without killing it - while filling the landfills with even more trash for future generations to deal with, new games to fill the empty void which constitutes an average consumer's psyche and so on.
So, yeah, this generation is a good time to buy, and then forget about the next purchase in the next 10 years.
Then, we will see what happens next in 2032 :)
People buying the 4090 today and coming from hardware such as the 3080 are experiencing gains in the range of 80-100%, which is nothing to scoff at - it's the same kick I experienced when I moved from the Radeon VII to the 3090. The 4080 seems to be significantly slower, so the price needs to be substantially lower as well - no more than $100 over the RTX 3080's debut price - for it to be truly an upgrade.
Launch seasons I usually scramble to flip over some of my older gear and upgrade asap - but for the first time in a while, I decided to wait for the Ti model, renovated my PC and this summer I am going to get some sun at a beach resort, my man.
