The MSI SUPRIM X series is back with a graphics card that combines power and aesthetics. Here are the key features and specifications of this impressive GPU:

1. Shader Cores and VRAM:

   • The MSI SUPRIM X features a massive 16,384 Shader cores, which ensures high performance in gaming and content creation tasks. It is paired with 24 GB of all-new GDDR6X graphics memory for handling large textures and data-intensive workloads.

2. Semi-Passive Design:

   • The card is equipped with a semi-passive cooling solution. When the GPU is at lower temperatures, the three fans remain idle, providing silent operation. They activate when the GPU temperature rises to maintain optimal cooling.

3. Reinforced Structure:

   • MSI has reinforced the card to prevent sagging, a common issue with larger and heavier GPUs. It includes a card holder to provide extra support and maintain a level orientation within your PC case.

4. Dual BIOS Settings:

   • The card offers two BIOS settings: gaming performance and silent mode. While both settings provide nearly identical performance (within a 1% differential), they differ in terms of temperature and acoustics due to variations in fan speed curves.

5. Acoustic Performance:

   • In acoustic testing, the card maintains a relatively quiet operation, measuring just 34 dBa, making it suitable for gamers and creators who prefer a quieter gaming environment.

6. Increased Power Allowance:

   • MSI has raised the power consumption allowance (TGP) to approximately 475W, allowing for higher performance. The card also boasts the fastest clock speed on the market at 2625MHz, with potential for even higher clock speeds when manually overclocked.

7. Memory Speed:

   • The GDDR6X memory operates at an effective speed of 21 Gbps, ensuring fast data transfers and smooth gameplay in demanding titles.

8. Cooling Solution:

   • The card features MSI’s TRI FROZR cooling solution with three TORX 5.0 fans. It utilizes ten heat pipes and includes a redesigned backplate for improved cooling performance. A thicker radiator and vapor chamber cooling enhance thermal efficiency.

9. PSU Recommendation:

   • Given the high-end components and power requirements, MSI recommends using at least an 850 Watt PSU to ensure stable and reliable operation.

10. Dimensions and Weight:

    • The card is substantial in size, measuring 336 x 140 x 71mm and weighing 2.4kg. Ensure that your PC case has sufficient space to accommodate this large and powerful GPU.
