This time the company’s new video card is participating in our test. GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G, kindly provided to us by the company MSI.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
This subsection of our review identifies the main aspects GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G, such as appearance and hardware configuration.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
The GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G box is twice the size of the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G.
The GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G comes in the same packaging as the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPRIM X along with a gaming mouse pad.
As we can see, the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G consists of two main components – the video cards themselves and the water block.
On the side we have a 12-pin power connector and a BIOS switch.
The video card has 4 video outputs – 1 HDMI and 3 DisplayPort, all of them support 8K resolution and 60 Hz. At 4K resolution we can get a screen refresh rate of 144Hz.
On the back of the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPRIM X is a solid steel plate with the SUPRIM logo.
Well, let’s attach a photo with a close-up switch – we have access to both game mode and silence mode.
The GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G video card itself is much smaller in basic dimensions than the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G.
In terms of thickness, the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G is 3,5 times thinner than the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G.
From this angle, the difference between the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G and the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G is even more impressive…
The GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G comes with a 4×8 Pin adapter, and the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G comes with a 3×8 Pin adapter…
| ARCHITECTURE |
The Ada Lovelace graphics architecture will bring with it new generations of tensor and RT cores responsible for accelerating ray tracing, as well as DLSS 3 technology.
The flagship graphics chip is manufactured using a 4nm process technology at TSMC facilities and has 76 billion transistors. For comparison, the NVIDIA GA102 video core, familiar from the top-end GeForce RTX 30 series cards, contains 28,3 billion elements.
The GeForce RTX 4090 model uses the AD102 die in a configuration with 16 CUDA cores, which provide almost 384 teraflops of computing power, and a 83-bit memory bus. The video buffer is equipped with GDDR384X chips with a total volume of 6 GB, bandwidth – 24 GB/s. The standard TDP level is 1008 W. This is 450 W higher than the GeForce RTX 100 on Ampere architecture.
The theoretical performance of video cards is 82,6 TFLOPS. It has more than doubled compared to the GeForce RTX 3090. In addition, it is 8 times faster than the PlayStation 5 gaming console. As for real-world performance, the company promises a 4-fold increase compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.
| TECHNOLOGIES |
Exquisite design
With beveled edges, clean lines, gold accents and a distinctive fan design, the aluminum video cards casing combines high-quality materials with impeccable craftsmanship.
History of the Suprim logo
The SUPRIM series and its logo are inspired by pure geometry, exemplified by the diamond crystal. This image symbolizes the selected components and impeccable manufacturing quality of SUPRIM video cards.
Water cooling system
At the base of the cooler there is a massive copper plate that removes heat from the GPU and video memory chips. The low profile pump is integrated into the water block to optimize coolant flow. Miniature fins in the copper base of the cooler improve heat transfer to the coolant.
ZERO FROZR technology
ZERO FROZR technology means the fans stop completely when the GPU temperature is low, making the graphics card completely silent. When the temperature starts to rise, the fans will resume operation automatically.
Fans TORX 5.0
Design improvements implemented in TORX 5.0 fans increase air pressure. As a result, the air flow is 10% more powerful compared to TORX 4.0 fans and 23% more powerful than axial fans.
Back plate
The rugged, brushed metal backplate houses thermal pads that cool the various components of the device. The beveled edges of the golden color make this plate an additional decorative element in the appearance of video cards.
Long lasting tubes
Braided PVC tubing ensures no leakage and remains flexible even under extreme environmental conditions.
Quality in the details
The original printed circuit board boasts optimized layout and high-quality element base.
| HEATING AND POWER CONSUMPTION |
The GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G gluttony test was carried out in conjunction with the Ryzen 7 7700X + MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI in a closed MPG CORELIQUID K240 case:
In “Donut” in stock mode, the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G shows 55 degrees, consumption is 476 Watts. IN Cyberpunk 2077 in stock mode, the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G shows 54 degrees, consumption is 430 watts.
Now let’s put these temperature and energy consumption indicators into tables, with the results we obtained earlier:
As we can see, in FurMark the power consumption of the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G card is the maximum for all video cards.
The temperature of the GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G card reaches a maximum of 55 degrees. In games, the card is absolutely silent, and heating does not exceed 54 degrees.
