Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

From Olympus back to ordinary mortals. Though the GeForce RTX 4080s are quite a bit weaker than the RTX 4090s, they’re also significantly more power-efficient and cheaper. And their performance still exceeds the top models of previous generations of Nvidia and AMD gaming GPUs. In addition, MSI’s most powerful model – the Suprim X – pushes the GPU clock speeds very high, while efficiency is still top-notch.

Join us in welcoming Adam Vágner on board HWC today. Of the authors I know, he’s the most experienced with graphics cards. That’s what he’ll be covering. Thus, graphics card testing will be taken over by a tester who’s been doing it for a long time (and intensively). This is the approach we pride ourselves on and will continue to do so. There are plenty of “experts in everything”, but true specialists are slowly disappearing from the map. Read more “Welcome, Adam! 18 years of experience in graphics card testing” »

  1. The cooling is not too great. Lower models like 3070 Gaming Trio do operate silently in comparison. Maybe some blame can be attributed to high TDP. Still disappointing to see. Coil whine with 2 high peaks in the traditional frequency area is even more disappointing. MSI seemed to be the way to go for folks who want to avoid bad coil whine. Not anymore.
