MSI recalls GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 from flagship Suprim series due to flaws
Micro-Star International (MSI) has withdrawn from the sale of the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards in the new flagship version of Supreme. Recall that the new items in this series were presented just a few days ago.
The recall of video cards from the sale was reported by the resource Tom’s Hardware, referring to a publication left by one of the users of the Reddit forum. According to him, he wanted to purchase one of the flagship graphics cards from MSI, but the local store told him that the manufacturer had delayed their delivery due to some defects.
The journalists decided to contact the manufacturer directly and find out the details. They confirmed that the supply of these graphics accelerators was suspended for some time.
“Yes, before all Suprim GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 models hit retail and online stores, we stopped deliveries to resolve some issues. But they have already been fixed and in the near future, the supply of video cards will resume again. We decided to take action as the Supreme is our new flagship series, so we want to make sure we are delivering a truly premium product, ” MSI responded to an inquiry.
The company did not specify what flaws (software or hardware) they are talking about. In the same Reddit thread, some users reported that in some cases, the performance of the Supreme graphics cards was not much higher than the Gaming X Trio series graphics cards from the same manufacturer. Even taking into account the fact that the Supreme versions are significantly more expensive than the latter. Whether these statements are fact and the reason for the recall of video cards – we will not state.
