MSI Presents Lots of Custom GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Designs at CES
MSI has fielded a plethora of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series custom designed graphics cards at CES 2024—TPU staffers had their work cut out when documenting and taking photos of the many options on display. As announced on Monday, MSI is introducing a wide range of SUPER cards—in SUPRIM, EXPERT, GAMING TRIO, GAMING SLIM and VENTUS flavors. We were unable to track down a couple of these models, but the absence of SUPRIM and GAMING TRIO cards at CES was a relatively minor thing when exploring everything else positioned on MSI's extended table.
First up is the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G GAMING X SLIM model, available in standard black or white. Despite the "SLIM" moniker, this topflight SUPER model is still a substantial prospect in terms of dimensions (refer to the photos below)—it houses MSI's trusty TRI FROZR 3 thermal system and a triple TORX FAN 5.0 array. We also see the very intriguing new GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT model—PC enthusiast community members had their interests piqued by a recently previewed design that echoes NVIDIA's Founders Edition aesthetic, albeit with a quirkier spin.The SUPER 16G EXPERT sports a dual fan setup configured to operate in a push/pull manner. MSI's accompanying placard states that this card features a unique fan design that has been patented. Zero Frozr and a vapor chamber (covering the GPU and memory modules) are also in play here. The housing is of an aluminium die-cast construction, which is certainly a show stopper when compared to the other gaming-oriented MSI cards on exhibit in Las Vegas.TPU's resident graphics card reviewer—W1zzard—has thoroughly recommended MSI's VENTUS 3X OC triple-fan cooling solution in the past. It is encouraging to see MSI roll out this design with the latest SUPER offerings. At the top of this heap we have MSI's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G VENTUS 3X OC model. Sitting just below in their hierarchy is the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16G VENTUS 3X OC card.MSI also showcased some dual-fan VENTUS models—these more compact options that house the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB GPU include a standard hue VENTUS 2X OC card, or a VENTUS 2X WHITE OC alternative.The MSI GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12G VENTUS 2X WHITE OC card was sitting next to its more potent siblings:The standard black MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16G GAMING X SLIM, and the GAMING X SLIM WHITE alternative were also present as CES 2024:Stepping down in the range, the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12G GAMING X SLIM (black) and GAMING X SLIM WHITE and were in attendance:MSI chose to showcase its (non-SUPER) GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8G GAMING SLIM Monster Hunter Edition on a separate table—this franchise tie-in graphics card was introduced last week alongside several other gaming products. TPU captured this lonesome limited edition model after wrestling with the many SUPER options on display chez MSI's convention presence:We will make sure to check the status of MSI's upcoming RTX 40 SUPER Series SUPRIM and GAMING TRIO cards.

Those "slim" designs really don't look slim... *Sigh* my current Gaming Z trio is a 2 slot in the pcie bracket albet the gpu is 2.7-3 slot gpu..
I guess I will have to remove my vertical gpu bracket until I move to a 011D XL..
I might be able to fit in my current case a 3 slot one but that might hit the ram....... so rip
Oh well
It's just a bit of a boomer, I have 6 fans tuned to run from the ambient case temperature to keep everything as silent as possible.. so vertical gpu is the best cooling =/= silence ratio.
In the pictures now you will see how tight the clerance to the cpu block and the ram is.. it's tight, every time I pull the gpu I need to remove the ram completely otherwise it won't let me align the vertical support at all!
