MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT Specs Leaked
MSI presented a massive table of GeForce RTX 40 SUPER series custom design graphics cards at CES 2024—TPU spent a lot of time photographing and documenting everything GPU-related at the tech company's booth. The kind-of mysterious GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT model seemed to get a lot of attention from online PC hardware communities. The brand new and very substantial EXPERT shroud design integrates a Zero Frozr cooling solution, but folks were quick to link its aesthetic (and vapor chamber setup) to NVIDIA's dual fan Founders Edition cooling solution. MSI has not yet published a dedicated GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT product page, while all of the other models from CES are uploaded and active.
A tipster on social media has posted a screenshot of the 16G EXPERT's specification sheet—wxnod has uncovered alleged factory settings ahead of review and launch day embargos, although pricing is still unknown at the time of writing. The leaked core figures include a boost clock of 2610 MHz in GAMING and SILENT modes (60 MHz above reference), while the MSI Center software suite can activate an Extreme Performance mode: 2625 MHz. These figures align with the SUPER SUPRIM model's core clock specs—the SUPRIM X sits above everything else as the fastest card in MSI's RTX 4080 SUPER stable. MSI's official introduction stated that the 16G EXPERT: "features a push-pull airflow design for enhanced cooling efficiency. The enclosure is constructed with aluminium Die-Casting for structural strength, while Core Pipe and a Vapor Chamber work to efficiently dissipate heat. Lastly, a patented fan design provides quiet yet reliable airflow." We hope to see the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT's addition to the TPU GPU database.
Reviewers have received evaluation samples:
DaPoets states—in his brief video—that he is under embargo, but "this striking design" will be explored in detail next week.

A full fat 15 Mhz OC !!!
It remains to be seen what works better, and I am really looking forward to the review. Would put my money on MSI's design, though.
The problem is it's almost impossible to get a 4090 at that price.
3090 was just for bragging rights as it should be with minimal performance uplift but the 4090 changed all that with what I hope was an outlier because if the performance gap between the 4090 and 4080 is the new norm it's means the rest of the product line is getting screwed just like this gen. I'm patiently waiting for next gen and have already saved flagship card money to get the top end as that's where the performance is it will just feel weird not owning an xx80ti or x800xt even if it is an upgrade. I'm hoping it's an AMD card as I don't like Nvidia as a company recently but kinda doubt it will be as AMD has starved Radeon devision for to long which I understand, it needed Ryzen pushing hard but now I fear they have ultimately lost the more important battle.
15 MHz differences will hardly make any difference at all.
This is more marketing BS, than anything else.
I bought my 4080 at 1025GBP when the cheapest available 4090 was 1599GBP.
That's a considerable amount of money for me and I couldn't say ''I don't care, I've already spent 1000''.
I liked the metallic grating for that very reason, kind of reminds me of the FE blower cards.
I'd have gone for a Ventus X2 w/ my current card, but it had terrible cooling and a plastic back plate :shadedshu:
