MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPRIM X, Gaming X, and Ventus 3X Pictured
Here are some of the first pictures of MSI’s custom-design GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards. The company is giving the RTX 4080 (formerly known as the RTX 4080 16 GB); custom-designs across three of its graphics card brands. Leading the pack is the RTX 4080 SUPRIM X and RTX 4080 SUPRIM; in the middle are the RTX 4080 Gaming X and RTX 4080 Gaming; and at the entry-level at the RTX 4080 Ventus 3X, and the RTX 4080 Ventus 3X OC. The Ventus 3X is expected to stick to NVIDIA reference speeds, with the Ventus 3X OC having a mild factory-overclock. The RTX 4080 Gaming has a similar overclock to the Ventus 3X OC, but with a superior cooling solution that’s splashed with RGB LEDs. The RTX 4080 Gaming X has a higher factory-overclock grade. The RTX 4080 SUPRIM has a similar factory-overclock to the Gaming X, but with MSI’s top SUPRIM cooling solution; while the SUPRIM X has the company’s highest factory-overclock grade.
The RTX 4080 SUPRIM and SUPRIM X feature a similar-looking board design to that of the RTX 4090 SUPRIM X, with a meaty 4-slot cooling solution, premium multi-tone metal shrouds and backplates, and the company’s highest-quality PCB components and its top VRM solution. The RTX 4080 Gaming X and Gaming are middle-tier, still give you a reasonably well-designed cooling solution geared for gaming, which looks bright and colorful in your rig. The RTX 4080 Ventus 3X OC and Ventus 3X are designed to be practical. If you just want a close-to-reference RTX 4080 that you can install and forget about, the Ventus series is for you. NVIDIA is launching the RTX 4080 on November 16.
