The MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G SUPRIM SOC sits at the top of MSI's air-cooled RTX 5080 lineup, targeting buyers who want the highest factory clocks MSI offers on this GPU alongside premium build quality (metal backplate, refined shroud) for a showcase gaming or content-creation rig. Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture with 16GB GDDR7 across a 256-bit bus, it boosts to 2745MHz in Gaming/Silent mode and 2760MHz under MSI Center's Extreme Performance profile — the highest clocks in this batch. Its larger 359mm/76mm-thick triple-fan SUPRIM cooler and vapour-chamber-based thermal design carry the 360W TDP. Runs off a single 16-pin connector; MSI recommends an 850W PSU.
