Moore Threads MTT S80 GPU: Doubling Performance with Driver Optimizations

Introduction

Chinese firm Moore Threads has been making waves in the domestic GPU market, and their MTT S80 gaming GPU recently received a significant boost in performance. Thanks to extensive driver optimizations, the MTT S80 has managed to double its performance in just one year.

The MTT S80 Specs

• Architecture: The MTT S80 is the world’s only true PCIe 5.0 compatible graphics card.
• Memory: It boasts 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.
• Cores: With 4096 MUSA cores, it’s ready for demanding workloads.
• Clock Speed: Running at 1.8 GHz, it’s no slouch in terms of speed.

The Journey to Improvement

When the MTT S80 was introduced back in late 2022, it struggled to compete with NVIDIA’s GTX 1050 in benchmarks. However, things have changed dramatically since then. Moore Threads has been relentless in refining their GPU drivers, resulting in a massive expansion in game compatibility. The latest 260.70 driver update has been a game-changer.

Gaming Benchmarks

• Genshin Impact: Previously unable to run properly, the MTT S80 now manages a decent 50-60 FPS at 1080p resolution, along with high image quality.
• League of Legends: It now runs at 380-410 FPS under 1080p and 320-350 FPS under 2K, doubling last year’s numbers.
• Other titles like Counter Strike-2, Devil May Cry 5, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider also saw significant FPS gains.

Synthetic Benchmarks

In the 3DMark Fire Strike test, the MTT S80 delivered double the performance, securing an impressive 8617 points. Moore Threads’ commitment to optimization has paid off handsomely.

Closing Thoughts

While the MTT S80 still has a way to go to catch up with mainstream giants like NVIDIA and AMD, its progress is commendable. Keep an eye on Moore Threads—they’re determined to bridge the gap and continue surprising us with their innovations. 🎮💡
