MSI's top-end gaming graphics card with 16GB GDDR6X VRAM, support for new versions of hardware ray tracing and exclusive support for DLSS 3.0. Included in the prestigious "four thousandth" line of NVIDIA graphics cards (Ada Lovelace, 5 nm, 2022), in which it is second only to the flagship RTX 4090 with 24 GB of video memory in terms of power. It belongs to the upper price category, designed for high-end gaming systems with top-end Intel / AMD processors and high-end 2K / 4K monitors.

The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB VENTUS 3X OC is equipped with the powerful AD103 GPU, which includes 9728 stream processors, factory overclocked to 2550MHz, and supports 256-bit communication bus. At 4K resolution with high graphics settings, the card delivers an average FPS of around 50-60 in beautiful games like Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, A Plague Tale: Requiem. At 2K the card feels like a fish out of water, at Full HD its performance is over the top.

Like all representatives of the Ventus series, this modification is made with an eye to efficient cooling and low overclocking. For cooling, a proprietary cooling system is responsible, consisting of a massive radiator with an array of heat pipes, three durable Torx Fan 4.0 fans and an integrated Airflow Control ventilation system. The length of the card is 322 mm, the height is more than three motherboard slots, so the manufacturer recommends installing it in standard Midi Tower cases with full-frame ATX motherboards.

At the same time, it has a relatively low power consumption in terms of power - a little more than 300 W, and a 750 W power supply is enough for power. In addition, it supports all the technologies inherent in the GeForce RTX series graphics cards for working with three-dimensional graphics, streaming optimization, reducing the delay in signal transmission from control devices, speeding up texture loading, etc.

Golden mean

The RTX 4080 with 16 GB of VRAM belongs to the middle level, bypassing the younger version of the RTX 4080 with 12 GB in many ways, but at the same time significantly inferior to the flagship RTX 3090 with 24 GB of G6X VRAM. During production, NVIDIA engineers used new streaming multiprocessors and fourth-generation tensor cores, which doubled the efficiency of the built-in supersampling algorithms.

New 5 nm process technology

Despite the new architecture (Ada Lovelace, TSMC 5 nm manufacturing process), in terms of design, the RTX 4080 largely repeats its predecessor, the RTX 3080. it provides for separate third-generation RT cores. But it uses a brand new AD103 die with 9728 CUDA cores, a GDDR6X buffer and a bandwidth of 720 GB / s as the basis. According to the statement, all this goodness turns out to be 2-3 times faster than the predecessor RTX 3080 Ti. The recommended cost of the model is $1199.

Improvements from MSI

The RTX 4080 16GB version by MSI technically corresponds to the reference sample, but everything else has been redone. In particular, the standard cooling system was replaced with a radiator with three fourth-generation Torx Fans, the design was reinforced with metal backplates, and all the lighting was sent under the knife so as not to confuse gamers with price tags.
