For our benchmarks, all tests are set to Ultra settings unless otherwise noted. I’ll be comparing the RTX 3090 Ti against the 30 Ti, the only other graphics cards in remotely the same realm of performance and price, as well as the RTX 3080, to give a more mainstream point of comparison. We test GPUs using a mixture of synthetic and real-world gaming benchmarks.

Test system: Z390 Asus ROG Maximus XI Extreme Motherboard, Intel Core i9-9900K CPU (stock), Corsair H115i PRO RGB 280mm AIO CPU Cooler, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3200, 1TB Samsung EVO Plus NVMe SSD, Corsair HX1200 1200-watt power supply. MSI RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X 24G – Performance It’s worth noting, however, that all that heat has to go somewhere, and I could feel the room get noticeably warmer due to hot air pouring out the back of our test rig during benchmarking.Īround back, the RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X has three DisplayPort 1.4a ports alongside a single HDMI 2.1 output. Temps hovered around 70C in my testing – that’s impressive considering how power-hungry the 3090 Ti is. The card is cooled by MSI’s Tri Frozr 2S system, which uses three Torx Fan 4.0s to pull heat away. You’ll need a beefy power supply (Nvidia recommends 850w minimum) as the card has a TDP of 480 watts, up from 450w on the Founders Edition. Unlike with the 3090, OEMs have also opted to use this new connector, as can be seen on the Suprim X here. Like before, this new port links to your PSU via a 3x8-pin dongle that’s included in the box. The Founders Edition of the 3090 Ti uses a 1x16-pin power connector, a larger version of the 12-pin connector that debuted with the RTX 3080 FE. Clockspeed is the same on both profiles, but Gaming mode lets the fans run a bit stronger to maximize cooling.

The Suprim X also has a dual-BIOS switch that lets you swap between “Silent” and “Gaming” mode, which prioritize low noise and full performance, respectively. It has 336 3rd-generation Tensor Cores and 82 2nd-generation RT cores for AI and ray tracing tasks. Beyond that, its specs are the same as the Founders Edition: 10,752 CUDA Cores, up from 10,496 on the original RTX 3090, paired with 24GB GDDR6X memory, memory speed of 21 Gbps, and a total memory bandwidth of 1008 GB/s.

While a Founders Edition from Nvidia does exist, the version we were sent for review is the MSI Suprim X variant, which comes overclocked to 1950 MHz. MSI includes a brace in the box to help prevent GPU sag, which is nice considering the card’s hefty size. At 13.3 inches long and 5.5 inches wide – not to mention 2.7 inches thick, commanding a triple-slot designation – it stands little chance of fitting into small form factor systems, and will be a tight squeeze for even some standard ATX cases. The RTX 3090 Ti is a massive graphics card, dwarfing all of its siblings save for its also-massive predecessor, the RTX 3090. MSI RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X 24G – Design and Features
