MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Suprim X

[W1zzard]

The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Suprim X is the new flagship series from MSI. It comes with the biggest cooler we've ever seen, which achieves unbelievable noise levels, quieter than any other RTX 3080. A large factory OC is included, too, and a dual BIOS as well.

It is dissapointing to see generational power draw go through the roof. 231w - 275w (44w) for the 1080ti to 2080ti. A further leap of 64w to the 3080FE. It's still amazing though to see that the cards are CPU bound until 4k. The 3080 and 3090 pull ahead only at that res. As for the Surpim card, crazy quiet but still overkill for my needs. Leaves me content with the 2080ti.

Is this 800 or 900 dollars?

It is 900, just realized my mistake, fixed and downgraded to "Recommended"

Hell yea! MSI finally brought their A-game to Ampere! Their Gaming X Trio was so clearly corners cut designs, and its refreshing to see them take it seriously and make actually what might be the best 3080 as of now! Good VRM, the best cooler with an actual copper heat spreader and not shitty direct touch and the highest power limit. What else can you ask for really.

holy molly. That asking price.... but still, if this is available on the market, people will still get. But ill just wait for the 6900xt. this card still an OC'd 3080 and price premium is not worth it. the same with FTW3 and strix with ftw3 still offers a better warranty overall vs all other manufacturers

The poor silicon is being tortured.

Well, at 900 dollars it's clear the 700 MSRP is a lie.

I'm sorry I havent read the full report..but what's the point for such a big pricey card ?
3.9% OC vs 2% OC for the FE?
12/250 FPS ?
if it is just that...then again what's the point?

 

[SIGSEGV]

DOA for sure.
But it will sell like hotcakes due to the shortage except the scalpers/bots come first.

$900 ?!! Very expensive.

Why did some post from someone regarding its abysmal efficiency get deleted? I was defending it that it gains performance but my post got deleted too?

The power draw is off the charts. More than a 3090 :O Although it's 3 8 pin power connectors. Not sure why it's priced at $900. It's still 3080 and it's still 10GB ram.

I predict the global supply will be limited to reviewers plus 3 to 4 cards for everyone else to fight over.

I'm sure all reviewers that are supposed to get the card will get it in time for the reviews. NV has to keep up the hype on and charts showing the performance against competition. Availability for regular users is a different story.

Anything higher than 1000 is true at moment. Anythinh lower than 1000 is just a lie because sellers want to gain a lot from msrp, most stayed months without work and now they want to gain a lot from anything, any release, sellers want 50% or more. Truth is nvidia still selling their gpus to aib same price but aibs are also asking for more.

They can ask even $1500 for the card but they are not getting any money from me that is for sure.

The cooling performance makes me wonder if we'll see even quieter suprim-series cards down the line-up. Probably won't happen this time but one day I would really love to see a sub-20db (gaming load) videocard that's not low-end and would happily overpay a 100$ over msrp for it. There's enough space for big shrouds in many rigs and certainly a market for all things quite.

sub-20db (gaming load)

You will never encounter sub 20 dBA in your life. Even at night in a very quiet area you'll reach 24 dBA maybe. At that point it is so quiet it becomes weird because you hear the blood flowing in your ears / notice minor tinnitus you have. I have had GPU engineers from TW here, who wanted to learn more about my noise testing, who said "it is scary quiet"

"Threshold of hearing" might work for high, clearly frequency-separated tones, but is completely useless for fan noise and similar

16+4 is nothing suprised at $900 price range. you can find the cheapest 16+4 custom model at around $730, excluding the FE and tuf non oc.
for $900 aorus xtreme (16+4 again) and $880 colorful vulcan (22+4 plus full pos/sp caps) both come with the little screen, uselesss to me but costs are there.
430w power limit is not the highest one avaliable (ftw3u 450w and aorus xtreme 450w) but it is the highest shipped bios without the need of bios update but just one tap out of the box.

to me, ventus is nothing worth more than $700, gaming trio should be around $730 given the cooler is actually quiet good when fans rpm goes up, and this suprim should be priced at $800.
maybe $30 more for the well tune bios at 430w (check the voltage & frequency curves they are impressive, almost striaght horiztonal lines), as well as the even better cooler.
however you have to bear in mind that this card is simply freaking large, so high cooling performance should be expected.

Yes, I realize that the noise floor is still there.
I may be wrong on this but, like, if we add up two 30db components, we'll get the total SPL of 33db. But if the second one is 20db, the result is 30,4db. This 2,6db difference may not really be a lot, but there are other fans making noise inside the PC too. So if we continue lowering the sound output of each component (or eliminating it altogether - getting a fanless PSU for example) we're still slowly but surely drawing the overall level of noise down.

(I do have tinnitus though, and I hear it all day long! The thing is, droning noises like steadily spinning fans somehow make it feel much worse than, say, music or people speaking loudly, that's why I wish so much that my rig wouldn't make any noticeable noise at any point.)

Except Evga KO which AIB selling at MSRP?
