The SUPRIM X is somewhat a power-hungry graphics card, requiring three 8-pin PCIe power connectors. It has a higher power target and limit compared to other RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards. But if you have a lot of components installed or connected to the system, I'd recommend going 850W or above just to be on the safe side. There is also an "Extreme mode" that increases the boost clock speed to 1845 MHz. NVIDIA's latest RTX 30 series GPUs have excellent GPU boost technology.
Sometimes even close to 2,000MHz or sometimes above; provided that it has enough cooling and power. There's really no need to manually overclock the GPU, or apply any overclocking mode. The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 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.
VENTUS brings a performance-focused design that maintains the essentials to accomplish any task at hand. A capable triple fan arrangement laid into a rigid industrial design lets this sharp-looking graphics card fit into any build. The MSI 3080 Ti Ventus 3X OC graphics card is a fully custom design that features a 2.5 slot and triple-fan cooling solution.

The overall gains from my manual overclocking were pretty negligible. Even at 4K ultra, performance was only 2-3% faster than the factory stock settings, and I definitely feel like I'm redlining the card a bit. Power use wasn't very different, and some of the gains simply came from increasing the default fan curve . If it were my personal card and I was planning on a long-term overclock, I'd go with +500 MHz on the memory and call it a day. I certainly appreciate not having to bother with one more piece of software, though others may not care so much. MSI's GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X series is an excellent graphics card.
I think the SUPRIM series is an excellent design; offering superior cooling solution, performance, and it is simply an exquisite graphics card that screams premium. I couldn't find any fault in the design or its cooling capabilities. The only downside I can think of is this is one big and heavy graphics card.
And depending on the chassis or casing you use, you may need to double-check the clearance. No doubt that the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a 4K gaming-capable graphics card. Even with ultra graphics or the highest graphics settings, it was able to drive all game titles above 60fps in 3480×2160 resolution. At 4K resolution, the RTX 3080 Ti offers around 13%, on average, performance increase from the RTX 3080. But based on my review of the RTX 3080 SUPRIM X, the SUPRIM series typically performs slightly faster compared to other reference-based graphics cards. I also don't have an RTX 3090, but since the RTX 3080 Ti is basically a strip-down RTX 3090 with less memory, I think their performance is quite similar.
But the SUPRIM has all the bells and whistles MSI can think of to slap on their GPU. So, let's check out how NVIDIA's latest RTX 3080 Ti GPU performs, in the form of MSI RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X, in our review below. The award-winning MSI TORX Fan 3.0 design keeps the limits of thermal performance turning. The fan blades alternate between traditional blades and dispersion blades that focus and accelerate airflow into the heatsink.

If you want more RGB bling in your PC build, MSI has you covered for a nominal price premium. You also get a support bracket, which really is a nice extra on a 1.56kg card. There's definitely not a ton of headroom for overclocking, but depending on the game, I could run at anywhere from +60MHz to +125MHz on the GPU core . Despite that seemingly wide gap, real-world clockspeeds were quite similar.
Superposition, which managed to run fine at +125MHz, showed an average GPU clockspeed of 2059 MHz during a 20-minute stress test. Metro Exodus, which required a lower +60MHz offset and a higher fan speed, ended up with an average GPU clock of 2069 MHz. (This is with setting the power limit to 102% as well, which was the limit in MSI Afterburner.) At stock, Metro Exodus showed an average speed of 1978 MHz. As for the specifications, the retail listing doubles down on previous leaks and rumors suggesting the card will arrive with 12GB of GDDR6X memory.
Earlier rumors pointed to the card having 20GB of memory, but it seems NVIDIA changed its mind at some point. Other rumored specs include 10,240 CUDA cores, a 1,365MHz base clock, and 1,665MHz boost clock.

Ethash is based on the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm, but has been significantly changed in some places. For example, the memory requirement was significantly increased in order to make it more difficult or even to prevent the calculation of the algorithm on so-called ASICs . Our benchmark results are based on a slight overclocking of the graphics card and the GPU memory. Ample amounts of thermal pads allow various board components to transfer heat directly to the heatsink for better cooling. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view. The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory.
Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps. Peripheral Component Interconnect Express is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
