MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X Review

Introduction

Every manufacturer has their own type of flagship model in any product range. Whilst we saw the Nvidia Founders Edition version of the RTX 4090, today the manufacturers are allowed to show off their own versions, and MSI have come out of the gate with all guns blazing, like the last stand of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Rather than beginning with their most affordable (relatively) model we’ve got their flagship RTX 4090 on hand, the Suprim X. Whilst we might be constantly frustrated at it not just being called the Supreme X, there is no denying that every version of it we’ve ever tested has proven to be one of the best two cards in that range.

Having already had our jaws dropped by the performance the Ada Lovelace architecture that underpins the RTX 4090, the opportunity to see a flagship version of it, with a factory overclock and a seriously beefy cooler has us salivating. Before we dribble all down our front, let’s crack on and see what the MSI is bringing to the party.

Technical Specifications

MSI are keeping coy about the clock speed of their latest flagship entry into their Nvidia card range. Thankfully whilst they might be singing along to The Go-Go’s Our Lips are Sealed, we have GPUz which reveals all. For the lazy or impatient amongst you the Suprim X has a rated speed of 2625 MHz, 105 MHz higher than the Founders Edition.
