MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID 24G

An extremely powerful and compact 2022 graphics card from the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace series with an impressive 24 GB of memory, an unusual liquid cooling system and a total performance of under 100 Tflops, which significantly exceeds the top-end NVIDIA GPUs of the past generation. It is positioned as an uncompromising premium product aimed at a narrow layer of very wealthy gamers and enthusiasts.

Unlike MSI Ventus and Gaming video cards with classic air cooling systems, in SUPRIM LIQUID an external water block with a copper heat exchanger and a built-in low-profile pump is responsible for lowering the temperature. And on top of the video card is covered with a combined casing with a plastic base sheathed with a metal plate. To install and power the video card, you will need a top-end ATX motherboard and a power supply unit with a capacity of at least 850 watts.

But the dimensions of the case are not so critical, because this is a rare modification of the RTX 4090, which occupies only 2 slots in the motherboard, and its length is only 28 cm, against the standard 34-35 cm. This NVIDIA flagship model is equipped with an AD102-300 GPU with 16384 CUDA cores and a video core overclocked to 2610 MHz. The RTX 4090 is equipped with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory with a bandwidth of 1 TB / s, a 384-bit bus is used for data exchange between the video card and other components.

The TDP declared by the manufacturer reaches 450 watts. According to NVIDIA, the RTX 4090 gaming performance is 2-4 times faster than the RTX 3090 Ti. However, this increase is achieved not only due to hardware improvements, but also through the use of the third generation of supersampling technology. DLSS 3.0 has learned to work with the optical flow field and other tricks that improve the quality and efficiency of artificial frame rendering.

Also in the RTX 4090, cores have been updated to implement hardware lighting tracing, which, according to NVIDIA representatives, had a positive effect on the quality of rendering game scenes with a wide variety of light sources and an abundance of shadows. In terms of gaming performance, all this power is needed in the first place in order to provide smooth and comfortable gameplay in 4K resolution. For a lower resolution, its power is redundant. It is also perfect for workstations focused on 3D rendering, working with three-dimensional graphics, neural networks and copyright content.
