MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Suprim X

[bug]

AMD has now released a worthy competitor with Radeon RX 6800 Series

For the asking price, soon you'll be looking at 6900...

Seriously, it should be like a law or something, when you go almost 30% above MSRP, you should have some clear explanation on the box as to why.

How do you suppose Caviar will sell their stuff then

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

I must argue on 24 dBA part being a very quiet area. My mancave measures between 17-19dBA in the middle of the night, but I live in a rural area where there is literally no outside noise expect for very occasional animal's sounds at night. It's true, I can hear my heartbeat and tinnitus when I focus on it. I can even discern between displays being turned on and off (every monitor produces noise, it's just to what degree). The point I'm trying to make is that 24 dBA is not all that silent.

2065?
Damn...

17-19dBA

How do you measure that?

 

[Chrispy_]

Being large is not a desirable quality in a graphics card.

Ideally you have an efficienct product that doesn't need to be cumbersome and heavy just to have enough cooling.

Sub-30 dBA is admirable but ultimately pointless since this cannot be installed in a silent PC, relying heavily on case airflow to provide fresh air and remove exhausted air.

 

[Colddecked]

Holy mother of god this card is huge. For that kind of markup kinda wish they made this a "golden" edition with an all copper heatsink like they had back in the day...

 

[RedelZaVedno]

How do you measure that?

I use Pulsar Nova 45 class 1 studio noise meter from work. It's accurate range is between 20dBA to 140dBA, but it still measures values under 20dBA, they just can't be certified.

only 900? bro thats a steal compared to the prices I have seen

900 is the list price. Add 300 to the prices you have seen and that's what you'll see this for, eventually

msi has been doing this for years, remember the gtx 960 gaming x?
the true problem is compatibility, lots of mid tower cases like define c or p300s, once the msi card is installed then cpu aio has to be mounted on top where the radiator would then very likely conflict with eps 8pin connectors and cables/ram slots/vrm heatsink. front mounting is not possible due to the super long msi gaming series card.

In that case, impressive results, and consider yourself lucky to have such nice equipment

 

[Mastakony]

200$ for noise reduction and +5% perfs..........
Ridiculous

@W1zzard : I already mentioned this in another topic, but it looks that nVidia indeed gets a free pass when it comes to power consumption.

AMD has been constantly bashed for high multi-monitor consumption and this card has 3 times higher MM power consumption that the comparable AMD card. You don't even talk about that in the Power Consumption tab. Instead, you just briefly mention that it's similar to the FE (for which it writes "it isn't a huge deal"), and then immediately try to make the card look better by bashing AMD alternative for its multimedia power consumption. Here is a 5500 XT getting bashed for 4W lower MM power consumption: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-radeon-rx-5500-xt-strix-8-gb/35.html


Also, this cards power consumption is crazy high and again, not a negative. This doesn't seem objective to me ...

 

[Super XP]

$900 ?!! Very expensive.

Well that is the problem, will they sell these cards at such a price tag? Probably, so the more people buy graphics cards at such high prices, the more these companies will be increasing the MSRP. The extremely high price GPUs need to stop, its getting ridiculous.

Respectfully, I've seen this similar pattern too, just kept my mouth shut about it. Until you mentioned it. I believe W1zzard needs to address the Elephant in the Room this time and moving forward.
I am very sure there's no so called Nvidia intervention with TPU, as there reviews are as trusting as they get.

 

[Metroid]

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

Yeah, they can ask anything they want, problem is who will buy it.

 

[dj-electric]

If you have an imaginary stock of 10 of these, and you put them all on Ebay for 1500$, expect them all to be sold out immediately.

Not sure about that because where I live, there are plenty stock of 3080 for $1000 and $2500 3090 and not selling any. Yeah, depends the place, maybe in the US yeah there are plenty of idiots who will buy it, where I live thankgod there are not any that is paying the prices I said.

Any card above 250W is a problem, IMO. Both the 6800XT and 3080 exceed this and are thus limited into what systems they can be installed.

It's fine if you have a huge, modern airflow-focused E-ATX tower specifically designed to accommodate these oversized, power-guzzling behemoths but there are plenty of people who don't have space for, or don't want a vast E-ATX tower for what is, effectively, a single-GPU solution. It's ridiculous really!

I have an mATX HTPC and a regular NZXT tower and the thought of a 420W card in either of them would ruin the noise levels and cook everything else in those PCs.

Couldn’t come up with an original name instead merely changing the vowel on “supreme” hype brand MSI?

Why bother over the FE or other more basic editions of the 3080. Massive heavy and $300 expensive for 2-3% extra FPS at 4k?

3080 will be more interesting when Nvidia get it made on better process so has some headroom.

The entire Ampere lineup looks like it was rushed out.

 

[BigMack70]

Am I the only one bothered by stupid naming like "Suprim"?

It really bothers me when companies decide to act like their high end consumers are illiterate morons.

 

[Nihilus]

Who exactly is this recommended for? $900 for a 10 GB card? Same efficiency as last gen. Those with a case as big as a microwave?

I know. People with more money than brains.

There is no deleted posts in this thread

Wait I confused it with the Suprim X press release where I commented there lmao sorry
