MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio (MSI GeForce RTX3090)
The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio is the king of the hill for the company, based on the top-of-the-line NVIDIA RTX 3090 “Ampere” GPU with a stunning 24GB of GDDR6X memory.
The Gaming X brand represents MSI’s best combination of performance, cooling, and noise optimization, along with the right aesthetic for high-end DIY gaming PCs. In this MSI Geforce RTX 3090 Gaming x trio review, we will review how well it can push the RTX 3090 out of its “normal” comfort zone by allowing it to access higher performance limits.
The gaming X board design also features the company’s latest cooling solution with three slots and three fans. With this generation of MSI design, you’ll see that much of the RGB fairing has moved to the backplate and towards the top edge of the card. MSI has found that you are more likely to enjoy your MSI 3090 Gaming X Trio graphics card from this angle.
NVIDIA has shifted focus to the higher end of its product stack with the GeForce RTX 30 “Ampere” series. The RTX 3080 has already been heralded as NVIDIA’s new “flagship” in marketing materials that also feature the MSI Gaming x trio 3090.
While the RTX 3080 was shown to outperform the previous generation flagship, the RTX 2080 Ti, the RTX 3090 was extensively compared to the TITAN
RTX, a $2,500 Turing-based Halo product.
Like the TITAN, the RTX 3090 was also developed to break down the market segment boundaries between gaming and professional displays. This is where NVIDIA’s powerful Studio drivers come in handy. NVIDIA believes the 24GB memory amount will be helpful for developers in various use cases.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the RTX 3090 adds nothing to gaming. On the contrary, this is the SKU that NVIDIA wants to use to push the limits of 8K gaming. 8K is no joke; that’s four times the number of pixels in 4K and sixteen times the number of pixels in Full HD.
To achieve this, NVIDIA developed the new 8K DLSS feature, which uses AI and deep learning to perform 9x AI upscaling of 1440p rendering in supported games. 8K gaming monitors aren’t here yet, but target buyers for the RTX 3090 could be early adopters of 8K TVs.
The help topics here are NVIDIA’s implementation of HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a enabling 8K HDR 60Hz with a single cable.
NVIDIA used a common silicon for the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080, so only one type of ASIC needs to be built for this relatively small volume market segment.
The 8nm “GA102” is a gargantuan piece of silicon with over 28 billion transistors that is almost maxed out on the MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 24gb by enabling all but one TPC (two SMs) on the silicon, resulting in 10,496 CUDA cores and 328 tensor cores. ,
82 RT cores and a 384-bit wide GDDR6X memory interface with 24 GB of memory for an incredible 19.5 Gbps: 940 GB/s bandwidth.
