MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT

Superb card

Personally, I think it's by far the best card to have been installed in 25 years!

- Perfect design
- Meticulous aesthetics.
- Much better thermal design than most of the competition. Enclosed box with 1 fan extracting air directly from the tower and the other fan passing through and sending air directly to the water cooling extraction system.

Performance (coupled with an I5 13600 KF, 2K display) :
- Excellent, and at the same time, at the retail price, it's the least I can do ;o)
- Clearly superior to my previous 7900XT.
- Reversed the proc bottleneck. On Helldivers 2, I went from 80% load on the proc to 5% on average.
- Haven't managed to make it break down yet...

By the way, I'd like to give a big +++ to the thermal design, which has enabled me to lower :
- The general temperature inside the case.
- By at LEAST 10°C on all the SSD, VRM and chipset components (which were becoming more unstable by exceeding 60°C).
- Noise pollution due to ventilation (less heating of all components, including the processor, which gained an average of 80% load over 4 games).

In short, you'll have understood that I'm extremely satisfied.
We can always say is the price justified ??? Maybe it's justified in terms of funding research and product development...

But it's still hard to find faults apart from the price, so I'll leave you to ponder...

Impressive

I wanted to wait for the 5000 series to arrive, but being a self-confessed graphic whore, I gave in.

I come from an already very good RTX 3080, but I'm still amazed at the leap in raw power. I'm playing in 1440p (I think that's the sweet spot for gaming) in ultra and rtx without concession now:
- Cyberpunk 2077 full ultra + pathtracing ~ 90 fps (in comparison I was barely getting 60/70fps in medium rtx with my 3080)
- Wukong full rtx ultra pathtracing ~ 90/120 fps
- Space Marine 2 full ultra: 144 fps (I cap my FPS at the maximum frequency of my 1440p screen)
- Alan Wake 2 full rtx ultra pathtracing ~ 120/144 fps
- Star Wars Outlaws full rtx/lumen with Outlaw preset unlocked ~ 90/120fps
- Hunt: Showdown 1886 full ultra ~ 144fps

All with DLSS quality or balanced and FG when available.
In short, the card swallows all games without flinching.

As far as the card itself is concerned, I chose it for its push/pull cooling system, which is perfectly suited to the desired airflow of my case.
All with MSI quality.

Great graphics card, great performance

Resigned to this model as all the others are out of stock, I have no regrets. The aluminium finish is in very good taste (although no RGB, personally I don't care but I know it's important for some people) and the two fans (one up, one down) keep the temperature down, even at full load. Be careful, however, to use a 4-point power connector (the small flat connector at the top) so that you have the 2 fans; and to have room to manoeuvre between the ever more demanding CPUs and the 320 Watts claimed (and measured exactly).
Performance is up to scratch on all games: 144 fps in 1440p with full performance on just about everything you can throw at it, with the exception of Star Wars Outlaws, the game that comes with it. It's not a bad experience, though.
There are also a few issues to be deplored in the case of an existing configuration as part of a card change (formerly a 2080Ti), but nothing that a clean reinstallation of the drivers can't resolve.
