I in the market for a 4080 super soon. I have been looking at the MSI 4080 super expert and the 4080 super gaming x. Both are similar in clock speeds, but the gaming x has dual bios. How are these gpus oc ability? Are there better 4080 supers than MSI? Thanks.

For the most part get the card that looks the best to you. I personally like the founders as they tend to hold their resale value better. Not much in overclocking anymore.

Yep, GPUs and CPUs essentially auto overclock these days, not a lot of meaningful headroom left for manual OC unless you're using some exotic cooking or trying to prove a point.

GPUs and CPUs often handle their own overclocking, leaving minimal room for manual tweaking unless you're using extreme cooling methods or aiming to achieve specific benchmarks

Isn't nvidia releasing new cards soonish? Might be in the window where it's better to wait for the new GPUs.

Yeah, new cards should be out soon. Probably has been delayed to March/April for desktop stuff, but the datacenter class cards were due this year.
