GPU

Unlike most graphics cards that use hollow-shaped radiators, MSI’s new Expert series graphics cards are made of aluminum to create an elegant one-piece casing that takes into account structural strength, thermal behavior and effective ventilation design GeForce RTX at a high level The 4080 SUPER model has been released, let’s take a look at its performance.

Appearance and design

From the looks, it is obvious that the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Expert graphics card is almost in complete cassette condition The outer casing is made of one-piece die-cast aluminum alloy, with a matte sandblasting process on the surface, moreover. slightly bronze color.

The Fan configuration of the Expert is very similar to the NVIDIA base version, and MSI called it “FLOW FROZR”.

The PCB adopts a compact design, making up about 60% of the total length of the card. It is a 12-centimeter axial fan with double ball bearings on both sides of the front and back connection between the fan blade and the closed ring, which can increase the performance of air flow and noise.

The radiator core uses a large area of ​​valve chamber to cover both the GPU chip and the GDDR6X memory chips. Six closely arranged square heat pipes are connected above the vapor chamber to further increase the thermal contact surface between the vapor chamber and the heat pipes.

After the heat pipe expands out, it is connected in series with the V-shaped aluminum fins to expand the heat dissipation area, reduce the air resistance and release hot air faster. The back part of the front of the graphics card is made of precision metal and a cold forming process to make a mesh layer.

test environment

We use the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Founders Edition as a benchmark to check.

Performance measurement

The base clock of the specialist MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the same as the base NVIDIA version.

However, the RTX 40 series graphics cards are less sensitive to overclocking, so the measured fps of the game does not change much, with a maximum improvement of about 2%.

Although it is overclocked at the factory, the maximum power consumption during burn-in is similar to that of the NVIDIA Founder Edition However, the temperature is slightly higher due to overclocking, but it is still within the appropriate range. Most importantly, the fan remains silent even when fully loaded.

Summary

Compared to previous high-end graphics cards, which mainly focused on flashy appearance design, MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Expert graphics card uses excellent metallic texture to show its luxury and professionalism , while taking into account constant structural strength and heat dissipation capabilities. . Although its structural design is very stable, it still comes with a special support bracket for the graphics card.

The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Expert graphics card is currently priced at NT$38,990 through retail channels It is very suitable for users who like a low-key and stable installation style It is provided for reference for everyone to buy.
