MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Suprim X

[AusWolf]

It's funny that the two BIOSes are called "Silent" and "Gaming". Like you couldn't game with the silent BIOS on a 3090.

There's always going to be early tech enthusiasts that will shell out the Cash for new innovations such as Ray Tracing.
My point was companies shouldn't be charging a premium for there experiments because it ends up affecting every single GPU price point from the top all the way to the bottom.
And yes I mean Nvidia, they are still well overpriced. And AMD just had to follow there pricing schemes which automatically makes there GPUs overpriced. I thought Nvidia learned with the RTX 2000 series, but I was wrong.

I'm totally with you, but seeing how Turing and Ampere are actually huge chips, I can understand why they're priced as they are. I don't like it, but I can understand it.
Fwiw, I'm not too thrilled about the additional power draw either.

Is it already April's fools day? Wow what a way to totally waste $200 on the most pathetic performance boost I've seen in along time. Well done for having the balls to release this and finding some people that would buy it.

I receive notifications of six different reviewers of the SUPRIM card, I like that because it tells me that at least six exist in selective captivity. Doesn't matter if it is overpriced because it is unreachable for mortals even if you have the dough.

I don't see much difference between the suprim and regular 3080 except price and not a small bump. $200 is quite a lot.

Custom cards are supposed to be mainly about better power delivery, better cooling and binned silicon. Better monitoring, sometimes. That's not always apparent to the naked eye. But after all is said and done, if all you dare put on the box is less than 200MHz extra boost, asking for a $200 premium for your custom is ballsy to say the least. Either that or it's a straight up stupid tax.

Are you saying this Suprim has better power draw? It gobbles up more than a 3090 and it is slower than a 3090 and there is basically no difference with the 3080 FE. I think the companies just use the demand as an excuse to charge more. $200 dollars from an FE version is ridiculous. If it had a water cooling solution then sure, maybe it would have any sort of value but this? No thanks.

I'm saying custom designs are supposed to come with better VRM and such, letting us pump more juice into the GPU. And that's not always apparent. What this particular card does, idk, I didn't bother reading that section of the review.

Yeah supposed and in practice they do but for a higher tier cards which is normally more expensive than a reference card.

Regardless of what they do, what matters is the end result. And in this case, the end result is less than 200MHz. And that's not even base clocks, it's just boost. At least it's a sustained boost.
There's apparently another 200MHz @W1zzard was able to extract from the card, but if it's not on the box, it's not guaranteed.

If there's something that makes this card worth $200 above MSRP, I don't see it.

Why would anyone buy this? Pick any gaming benchmark Techpowerup ran on the 3080 Suprim vs the Gaming X trio. The Gaming X trio wins pretty much every time.

'murica card. This trip to bigger cards is getting a bit ridicule.

Lol! I keep thinking to myself, these new GPUs are just like the truck / SUV craze!

Half the discussion is about perf/watt, and then.... it's just friggin huge and hot and power hungry. I guess there is no replacement for displacement.

Hello. Im live in Russia and know eng lang not good. But try to understand me and sorry for my bad eng)
1. Wizzard can u give me link on u channel, where u do u test with some gpus, cpus and some else if u have, or where u posting this.
2. Can u test 3080 x trio and suprim X 3080 on the same parameters, Hz/Volt/some else and check Temperatures of backplates, rly metal backplates more effective than plastic on composit x Trio
3. Interesting direct contact of GPU cooling and through a copper plate, how effective is it, if it is not difficult for you to implement it in any way
4. It is also interesting to compare the overclocking potential of this video card in comparison with the stock firmware of the BIOS Trio and the xtrio firmware from Suprim

And for info in our official shop (DNS) price of gaming x tro 3080 it's 77000 rub or 1000 $ (with NDS 20%/ with NDS 200$) Suprim will be more than 1000$

 

[W1zzard]

or where u posting this.

I post everything here at techpowerup.com I don't do video

metal backplates more effective than plastic on composit x Trio

Maybe 1 or 2°C, it's really not a big difference

with the stock firmware of the BIOS Trio and the xtrio firmware from Suprim

the overclocking tests in this review do exactly that

Which has better pcb msi rtx3080 suprimx or asus rog strix rtx3080 oc ?
