Chinese MTT S80 graphics card performs less than a GT 1030 while consuming more than an RTX 3060
The world of Chinese-made components without big brands means that users have to risk a lot. Many of these components have not been manufactured with the demands that Intel, NVIDIA or AMD make, and present peculiar results as with the MTT S80.
This Chinese gaming graphics card has begun to have its reviews on Chinese websites. Of these, its enormous disparity between performance and consumption stands out, since it is one of the least powerful graphics cards on the market, while at the same time it is one of the most consuming.
The MTT S80 neither performs nor is efficient in any way
The MTT S80 is a gaming graphics card developed by the Chinese manufacturer Moores Threads. They have dedicated themselves to developing hardware for the server and artificial intelligence segment, and the S80 It is his first foray into the home consumer graphics segment. It features 4096 MUSA streaming cores and runs at 1,8 GHz, providing users with 14,4 TFLOPs of computational performance.
Although it is focused on gaming, the graphics card is also can be used for 3D rendering and artificial intelligence processing. It comes with a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, offering up to 128 GB/s of bandwidth. It is also equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. As for screen outputs, it has 3 DisplayPort 1.4a ports and a single HDMI 2.1 port.
But the most remarkable thing about it is its performance in benchmarks, and that is where nothing has gone well. BullsLab Benchmarks, shows that the card consumes up to 252W, more than one RTX 3060 of power, and despite this it loses to a GT1030, a graph designed for very low-end office computers, which reaches a maximum of 30W of consumption. There were cases where the Chinese card didn't even run some games due to API and software compatibility issues. There seems to be a massive underutilization of the MTT S80 GPU that needs to be fixed. Knowing that it costs the equivalent of $300 in China, Moore's Threads may want to re-evaluate the product, see what's wrong, or cancel it since it's not hard to get considerably better graphics at lower prices.
