Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti Review ft. MSI & Palit

The MSI RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X ships in a large white point, with an image of the graphics card dominating the front. On the back, MSI highlights various key features of the card, its cooler and design.

Inside, we get a wealth of included accessories – a mouse pad, as well as tonnes of various documents and leaflets.

There's also a support bracket (which you will absolutely need considering this card weighs over 2.1KG), as well as a power adaptor – this card uses the new PCIe Gen5 power connector, but the adaptor lets you uses three 8-pin connectors instead.

As for the card itself, the core design is the same as what we have already seen from various other Suprim X reviews. This means we have a two-tone metal and plastic shroud, with three 100mm Torx 4.0 fans visible as well. It's a tasteful design in my opinion – the metal sections on the shroud almost look gold depending how the light hits them, it's certainly a card that would take pride of place in my own system.

It is absolutely massive, however – measuring in at 337 x 140 x 71mm, so it's a proper 3.5 slot card. It also weighs over 2.1KG, or 2144g on my scales. BFGPU indeed.

Elsewhere, we can note the Suprim X and GeForce RTX logos on the top side of the card, while MSI is using a two-tone full-length metal backplate, with a few cutouts towards the end to allow airflow to pass directly through the heatsink.

It's important to note a dual-BIOS switch too, with a choice of Silent or Gaming BIOS, though the only difference between the two is fan speed.

As mentioned, MSI is using the new PCIe Gen5 power connector, though an adaptor is included if your PSU doesn't yet support this connector. We can also note three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 video outputs.
