MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Suprim X 24G, 24GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP

Die neue Premium-Grafikkarte des US-Herstellers NVIDIA wird von PC Games Hardware bei YouTube auf Herz und Nieren geprüft

From a technological point of view, the GeForce RTX 4090 just works exceptionally well and fast. It's 100 USD more expensive than the founder edition, but you can tell where the money goes. The SUPRIM series of graphics cards was introduced by MSI as a premium custom-design product above the Gaming series. MSI RTX 4090 SUPRIM X boasts a two-tone brushed aluminium design on the cooler shroud and backplate, giving it an exotic look. Except for the required NVIDIA-designed adaptor, which transforms four 8-pin PCIe power connectors into a 12+4 pin 12VHPWR.Three DisplayPort and one HDMI are available as video outputs. A sleek, three-dimensional backplate with a brushed aluminium finish is included. A dual-BIOS switch is located close to the power jack. ADA GPU architecture can perform skillfully and excellently; the GeForce RTX 4090 is a powerhouse. A good chunk of extra shader cores, nearly double performance Raytracing and Tensor cores, and underlying technologies like Shader Execution Reordering (SER) and DLSS 3.0 make the new product and Series 4000 shine. The GeForce RTX 4090 AD102 GPU has 76.3B transistors; I mean OMG, staggering values. Starting at $1599; yes, the price is an unfavourable factor, and the amount of energy used as explained, is also something to ponder about. Both are high for this product to make any sense. For this graphics card to make any sense, you must play games in Ultra HD or at least start at a monitor resolution of 2560x1440. We also know that because the product is in a very narrow niche, the two negatives do not have to make sense to a lot of you as enthusiast components are a class of their own. Regardless of it all, I live and thrive on exciting technology; I like this piece of hardware inside a PC, though, because it is a magnificent product no matter how you look at it. The RTX 4090 will exhaust a lot of heat, so ensure you have a lot of ventilation. The card is big and heavy (2.4kg), but still looks great, but you need to make sure you can fit this inside your PC. The performance, man, that performance, it is all good. Take Flight Simulator 2020 combined with DLSS 3.0, you can fly at 100+ FPS in the higher resolution now. Cyberpunk at UHD with raytracing and DLSS quickly passes 100 FPS. This is an Ultra HD card, and it shines in that area, whether shading (regularly rendered games) or hybrid ray-tracing + DLSS is used. It is a purebred stallion but needs a lot of power and will only cater to a small group of people. Should you buy this product? Well, from a more economical point of view, you would be better off with a to-be-released GeForce RTX 4070 or 4080. In the end, MSI went all out with the new Suprim X, the default extra performance is just 3% though, though if you are seriously into silent operation and beautiful looks, then it's a card that we can definitely recommend over the founder edition at a price premium of just 100 USD.

Manual OC worked better on the RTX 4090 Suprim X than on any other card today, including the liquid-cooled Suprim Liquid X. We were able to break the 3 GHz barrier and memory ran over 1500 MHz too, which yielded an overall overclocked performance of over 500 FPS—the first time we broke that number. The differences between cards are fairly small though, and the silicon lottery also plays a role here.
