The GeForce RTX 5080 Suprim SOC features a vapor chamber cooler just as massive as the one found on the 600W RTX 5090 Suprim SOC. With this extra cooling capacity, the fans on the more efficient RTX 5080 can run at lower speeds, resulting in excellent thermals and minimal noise. However, this high-end cooling solution also drives up the price—you’re paying a premium for one of the best factory-overclocked RTX 5080 cards available.
Operating characteristics – F1 24 (BIOS Silent)
The next set of tests comes from the F1 24 benchmark at 3840 × 2160 resolution, Ultra settings. This benchmark consists of five laps on the wet Singapore track. Unlike the other benchmarks, this one maintains consistent load – the GPU remains fully engaged throughout.
Performance with the Silent BIOS drops by just 0.4 fps, which is still within the margin of measurement error rather than a meaningful impact of the GPU running an average of 5 MHz slower compared to Gaming mode.
Clock speeds remain very stable, ranging from 2775 to 2790 MHz with a 2787 MHz average.
Power consumption differences versus Gaming mode are again within the margin of error.
GPU and memory temperatures remain excellent even at lower fan speeds – in fact, the fans could’ve been spinning even slower without issue.
Fans initially spin slowly, around 1000 RPM. At those speeds, the card is effectively silent apart from minor coil whine. Above 62 °C, the fan curve becomes more aggressive, but still remains within reasonable limits.
What are the standout features of the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Suprim SOC?
From my point of view, it’s the cooler with its top-notch efficiency. 🙂
