It's built with enhanced RT Cores and Tensor Cores, new streaming multiprocessors, and superfast G6X memory for an amazing gaming experience. This MSI GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card comes with LHR (lite hash rate) delivers 43 MH/s ETH hash rate (est.). This Graphics card featured with Boost Clock / Memory Speed: 1815 MHz (GAMING & SILENT Mode) / 19 Gbps, Display Port x 3 (v1.4a) and HDMI x 1 (Supports 4K@120Hz as specified in HDMI 2.1). The new MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM 10GB LHR comes with Close Quarters Heatpipe & Heatsink, Copper Baseplate and TRI FROZR 2S Thermal Design. The TORX Fan 4.0 is A masterpiece of teamwork, fan blades work in pairs to create unprecedented levels of focused air pressure. 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING While striving for the SUperior gaming experience, our PRofound journey across decades took us to destinations previously thought IMpossible. Across years of high-performance circuit design, MSI is proud to bring its latest masterpiece to life. SUPRIM is the next leap in graphic cards design. CHISELED TO PERFECTION Built upon two decades of award-winning graphics cards, the time to evolve beyond Gaming has come. A new design philosophy takes shape to pave the way for a new prestigious series. NEVER LOSE YOUR COOL TRI FROZR 2S stays cool in style. Thermals are kept in check in masterful ways under a sculpted SUPRIM exterior, letting you focus on enjoying your games in all their glory. FOCUS ON WHAT’S IMPORTANT TORX FAN 4.0 is a masterpiece built on teamwork, with pairs of fan blades linked together with a revolutionary ring design to focus airflow and air pressure into the heatsink. VIP COOLING TREATMENT Dedication yields results. The memory modules get the private treatment with their own dedicated close quarters heatpipe that runs to a dedicated heatsink. FACING THE HEAT HEAD-ON Heat from the GPU is immediately captured by a solid nickel-plated copper baseplate and then rapidly transferred to an array of heatpipes. This widening of the thermal transfer systems with highly efficient mechanisms starting at the base improves overall efficiency. A SYMPHONY OF SILENT DESIGN Don’t sweat it. Airflow Control improves airflow dynamics through the heatsink for improved thermals and quieter acoustics. Deflectors provide additional surface area and guide air to where it’s needed for maximum cooling. Wave-curved 2.0 fin edges disrupt unwanted airflow harmonics resulting in reduced noise. FROZEN IN PLACE Zero Frozr is the calm before the storm. The fans completely stop when temperatures are relatively low, eliminating all noise when active cooling is unneeded. The fans will automatically MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM 10GB LHR GDDR6X Review The RTX 30 SUPRIM series is MSI’s top of the line graphics card lineup. I’m not sure if the SUPRIM replaced their “Lightning” series. But the SUPRIM is placed on top of the Gaming X Trio series; followed by the Ventus series at the bottom. I’m also not sure why MSI GeForce RTX 3080 opted for “SUPRIM”, perhaps they were going for the “SUPREME” branding. Obviously, they can’t use “SUPREME”, so “SUPRIM” will have to suffice. I’m just speculating here. Nevertheless, this graphics card means business; and it is more premium and (a bit) better than the Gaming X Trio variant. The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM X features the company’s Tri Frozr 2S cooling solution. It is similar to the Tri Frozr 2 cooling solution used on the Gaming X Trio variant. But from the looks of it, the 2S is slightly larger or “chunkier” than the Frozr 2. The large aluminum heat sink is cooled by three Torx Fan 4.0 fans; and heat is delivered from the GPU to the heat sink via seven core pipes. Each aluminum fins have “deflectors” and “Wave-curved 2.0” fin edges that help guide air and reduce airflow harmonics that may result in additional noise. Unlike on other graphics cards, the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM X’s memory modules are also passively cooled with its close-quarter heat pipe and dedicated heat sink. In addition, the back plate used on the SUPRIM variant is also an aluminum back plate. Unlike the “graphene” (a.k.a plastic) plate on the Gaming X Trio variant. I am not a fan of the graphene back plate since it scratches easily and leaves unwanted permanent marks/scratches. The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM X also features dual BIOS, where you can choose from “Gaming mode” or “Silent mode”. Both modes have the same clock speeds but the Silent mode has a less aggressive fan profile. During my test, I find that this graphics card is very silent. Just use the Gaming mode at all times. I hope graphics card companies would remove the “silent mode” and replace it with “OC mode” instead. The cooling solution is very impressive and it runs silently even in Gaming mode. Below are additional features that all RTX 30 series cards have and a specs comparison between the RTX 3080 Suprim X and Founders Edition. After that, let’s take a closer look at the graphics card.
