Any GeForce RTX 4090 has been fitted with 24 Gigabytes of GDDR6X memory; it runs at 21 Gbps (effective datarate), and that's a lot of memory bandwidth for a gaming graphics card alright. We'll show you the specification details on the next pages. The IO panel shows three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 connector that will bring 8K 60 Hz HDR to a single HDMI cable. The card has three fans. The SUPRIM has a nice chic-looking shroud underneath it a powerful cooler design. The design has some added features, such as a modernized TRI FROZR 3 cooler, but the fans are based on the latest TORX FAN v5.0 design. What is interesting is the backside, as it reveals an aluminum backplate, which should help provide passive thermal conduction properties towards the card. The Dragon logo is gone there but now has a Suprim logo which is ... very elegant. Everything on a hardware level has been improved with the SUPRIM X. Thickened copper (2oz) traces inside the PCB, brushed aluminum plating with precision-cut edges on the cooler's exterior. The dual BIOS is configured to be Silent out of the box; for comfort, the GAMING BIOS mode can be enabled for a 'cooler' running product. As explained on the previous page, the difference isn't performance, it's a different fan profile that offers your preference on temperature or silent acoustics.
With 336mm long, 140mm tall, and 71mm deep dimensions, this handcrafted behemoth dwarfs the Founders Edition and immediately seems substantial. The grey-and-black style should be recognizable - the design is primarily the same as the RTX 3090 model - and MSI has done well to keep it looking stylish considering the sheer size. The MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Suprim X has a TDP of up to 475 watts, necessitating a huge 3.5-slot design weighing 2.1 kg and a highly sophisticated cooling system with extensive material consumption. RGB has been updated, it no longer defaults towards rainbow, but now it's subtly animating white. You can sync it to whatever your preference is with Mystic light software.
The flagship is released with a triple fan configuration, occupying 3.5 slots. The GPU on the RTX 4090 has 16+ Cuda cores, and faster GDDR6X memory clocking in at 21 Gbps, from Micron. The GPU boost frequency has been increased to at least 2,625 MHz in gaming, but you'll likely see it hovering in an 2800 Mhz domain. The TDP of the RTX 4090 Suprim X rises to 450 watts while remaining within the parameters of the 12VHWPR, which will be utilized on this model instead of three eight-pin connections. RGB lighting, which is greatly enhanced over the firm's earlier Gaming X models, contributes to the aesthetics. Colors are more brilliant, with seamless transitions and fewer prominent hot spots. Three lighting zones allow for complete customization: the chevrons between the three fans, the Suprim logo across the top edge, and the logo on the back.
Of course, with a card of this magnitude, cooling is critical. All three 95mm Torx 5.0 fans turn off when not in use. When they do, they are helped by a vapor chamber based ten thick heatpipes crossing the board-encompassing heatsinks, thermal pads on all the critical components, and extra specific heatpipes and heatsinks for the memory modules. Temperatures are unlikely to be an issue, and thanks to the aluminum backplate and metal anti-bending plate, there's a minimal hint of sag despite the card weighing little over 2.4kg.
The benefit of such stratospheric cooling is that MSI can let frequencies run wild. The three-slot design expands to a 3.5-slot design, with 200 grams greater weight compared to reference. The latest flagship from the business weights 2.4 kg and boasts a substantially bigger I/O shield with three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 port.
The new 12VHWPR is used. However, MSI included an adapter cable. You could connect just 3 out of 4 headers, but four is recommended.
