MSI presented their custom MSI GeForce RTX 30 series cards ina stream yesterday. The stream info was really limited mainly due to NVIDIA embargoes but did show the two Gaming and Ventus versions of the RTX 3080.

MSI is to release GeForce RTX 3090, 3080 and 3070 in two series initially: the Gaming and Ventus. The GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming Trio X and the GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Trio X will get fitted with three 8-pin connections, while the Ventus versions use two 8-pin power connectors. The GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio relies on dual 8-pin. With the GeForce RTX 3090, MSI relies on two heat pipes under the backplate for the first time in both series, soldered on the back to a graphene covered plate. So the backplate is no longer a visual assistant, but a fundamental part of the cooling. The graphics cards presented today will all span over 2.5 slots. This also applies to the RTX 3070. An interesting remark was that it is not recommended to use a motherboard based on PCI-Express 2.0 with these cards, purely for AMps, which is ironic with an Ampere card :)

MSI mentioned it uses an in-house thermal tests phase. All of these elements should ensure optimal cooling of the GPU. The GPU should be guaranteed below 80 and/or 75 degrees. The backside of the Ventus card show three display ports and one HDMI 2.1 connector. MSI does not have a USB-C interface because this no longer was specified by Nvidia. With the Ventus series, only two instead of three 8-pin power supply connections should be used.

Other than design nothing was revealed as MSI did not show prices, neither specific dates and clock rates for the custom designs. Have a peek at some screengrabs.

3 8-pin connectors, why a card would need a 525 W !!!!!!
what will be the Recommended PSU, an 850 W one?
375 W is already high enough.
3090 already uses a custom 600W power connector. TBP is 350W, and power limit can be increased beyond that.

The recommanded PSU are 750W for the 3080 and 3090. 650W for the 3070.
This is was posted by nvidia with the announcement.

very happy with present MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Ti. New 3090 is a little smaller, haha

Of course founders edition is pure ART. but at the end of the day it doesn't matter if your card is a fugly manga circus.

it just means its (peak) power consumption is somewhere between 375W (ie. 2x8 pin) and 525W. this could mean 376W as well. 525W is the theoretical maximum, not the actual one

Look at the new Torx Fan 4.0. Looks completely traditional (for nowadays standards) and the design looks just like a mix from the Cooler Master (and Arctic) designs and latest Asus cards, but instead of the complete ring around the blades, just each two blades...
Does this means that all that weird Torx Fan 1, 2.0 and 3.0 with the cirved fan and the fan with guides aren't better than anything, that they're just marketing, not aerodynamics breakthroughs? Wouldn't surprise me at all.
