In addition to Afterburner is the MSI Dragon Center used to control the system itself and Mystic light to control the RGB lighting. Afterburner has been updated with additional functionality, including the OC scanner to automatically overclock the card and additional skins, keeping it up to date.

On the software front, MSI uses the familiar MSI Afterburner to monitor and control their graphics cards.

The issue was all but resolved with a driver update, but it is still good to know that more premium parts are used for a more expensive card. This is different than the Gaming X Trio that sports four POSCAP/SP-CAPs. Obviously, the power limit is lower than that on this card, but as you’ll see, we’ll use more than two 8-pin PCIe connectors, and the slot provides.Ībout the capacitor “issue” (that’s long over at this point) on the rear of some of these cards, MSI uses mostly MLCC caps with two POSCAP/SP-CAPs.

Combined with the PCIe slot, the card can use up to 525 W while being in spec. Supporting this power-hungry video card electrically is a robust power delivery system.

In addition to the new fin array, MSI uses precision-machined square core pipes to achieve maximum contact between the GPU and copper base plate to spread the heat along the full length of the heatsink.

The Wave-curve 2.0 fin edges are said to disrupt unwanted airflow harmonics resulting in reduced noise. MSI installed deflectors on the fins that provide additional surface area and directs air to where it is needed for maximum cooling. The heatsink itself was redesigned to improve airflow dynamics. Overall the fans were relatively quiet when using the Gaming mode and kept temperatures well within operating parameters. This is great for the audio profile at idle or low loads. Additionally, Zero Frozr technology, where the fans shut off below a certain temperature threshold, is also included.

MSI says this focuses the airflow into the cooling system and increases efficiency. The Torx 4.0 fans are of the ball bearing type and bind together pairs of blades using a linked outer ring design. The RTX 3080 Ti Suprim X uses the Tri Frozr 2S heatsink sporting a nickel-plated copper base plate and square core pipes to transfer heat from the GPU to all of the heat pipes the full length of the fin array.

Specifications and Features Nvidia RTX 3000 Series Specifications Read on for more details about the features, performance, and overclocking to see if it may be worth the adventure of finding one in the wild. Add the tax for premium cards like this one and its peers, and you’re so close to an RTX 3090, if you can find one, it may even be a consideration. Priced at $1199 for the Founder Edition, the cost and performance split the difference between the bookend cards around it, though it leans heavily towards the RTX 3090 side of things on both fronts. During testing and an extended gaming session, the card remained cool and quiet, showing off the huge cooler’s capability.

Performance on this card landed somewhere above the RTX 3080 and below the current flagship RTX 3090 while beating the venerable AMD 6900 XT in most cases. The new card features the Tri Frozr 2S Thermal design with Torx Fan 4.0 and core pipes, dual BIOS, and a pretty cool design aesthetic that should match well with most build themes. MSI’s Suprim X lineup sits above the Gaming X and Ventus models as the flagship offering. Today we have the MSI RTX 3080 Ti Suprim X (pronounced /so͞oˈprēm/, like Supreme) in hand for the review! Fast forward 18 months, and it’s finally here. The massive price gap was just begging for another card, or two, in the product stack. The RTX 3080 Ti has been rumored almost since the release of the ($699) RTX 3080 and ($1499) RTX 3090 graphics cards over 1.5 years ago.
