MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB VENTUS 3X OC
 | Expecting restock $1,499.99 A high-end gaming graphics card from MSI with 16 GB of GDDR6X video memory, as well as support for new versions of hardware ray tracing and exclusive support for DLSS 3.0. It is part of the prestigious "four-thousand" series of NVIDIA graphics cards (Ada Lovelace, 5 nm, 2022), second in power only to the flagship RTX 4090 with 24 GB of video memory. It belongs to the upper price category, designed for elite gaming systems with top Intel/AMD processors and high-end 2K/4K resolution monitors. The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB VENTUS 3X OC is equipped with a powerful AD103 graphics processor, which includes 9728 stream processors, factory overclocking up to 2550 MHz, and supports a 256-bit data exchange bus. At 4K resolution with high graphics settings, the card provides an average FPS of around...50-60 in visually stunning games like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, A Plague Tale: Requiem. In 2K, the card performs exceptionally well, and its performance is excessive for Full HD. Like all Ventus series models, this modification is designed for efficient cooling and slight overclocking. Temperature control is managed by a proprietary cooling system consisting of a massive heatsink with an array of heat pipes, three durable Torx Fan 4.0 fans, and an integrated Airflow Control ventilation system. The card's length is 322 mm, and its height spans over three motherboard slots, so the manufacturer recommends installing it in large cases with full-size motherboards. Despite this, it has relatively low power consumption for its power level—just over 300 W, and a 750 W power supply is sufficient. Additionally, it supports all technologies typical of the GeForce RTX series graphics cards for working with 3D graphics, optimizing streaming, reducing latency in signal transmission from control devices, accelerating texture loading, and more. |

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.
