MSI's RTX4090 Suprim X is a monster graphics card, but can it go further? Here's how it scales with a little overclocking power.
The RTX 4090 is a monster graphics card, and it’s insanely fast . But can you push it further? Now that cards are starting to hit store shelves, I popped in MSI’s excellent Suprim X model to see if you can push the 4090’s performance above the already high mark it sets.
MSI hasn’t shared the official clock speeds or power draw of the Suprim X yet, but it does come overclocked out of the gate. At stock, the card drew 460 watts at its highest point, which is 10W above the official spec for the Founder’s Edition RTX 4090. In my testing, however, the Founder’s Edition card only drew 426W.
Overclocking the RTX 4090 Nvidia’s recent cards are built to run as fast as they can out of the box, so the performance gains from GPU overclocking are usually slim to none. Although I didn’t see big improvements, pushing the Suprim X did provide some tangible increases in performance. It’s not game-changing, but pushing your RTX 4090 with enough cooling can result in higher gaming performance.
Overclocking showed benefits elsewhere, too. In Red Dead Redemption, the overclocked results show much higher minimum frame rates. That means an overall smoother gaming experience, even if the average frame rate is relatively unchanged. Power, thermals, and clock speeds The major limiting factor with overclocking the RTX 4090 is thermals, but the cooling design on the Suprim X allows you to still push the GPU. With my manual overclock, the GPU peaked at 67 degrees Celsius on an open-air test bench. That’s only 3 degrees above the stock card and Founder’s Edition model.
