MSI’s new Suprim series challenges the top models in Asus’ Strix series, among others. MSI has released the familiar models in the RTX 30 series, but the company left one more card on its sleeve. Last Friday, the company introduced the missing link at the top of its range: Suprim graphics cards.

The Suprim series focuses on, among other things, high-quality materials and small details. For example, graphics cards have their own separate cooling fins, and graphics cards have a dual BIOS set to silent mode as standard. The graphics cards also support Dragon Center’s Frozr AI Cooling system, which synchronizes the computer’s case fans to the graphics card’s temperatures via a compatible MSI motherboard.

The cooler in the new graphics card series obeys the name Tri Frozr 2S and is equipped with Torx 4.0 fans, separate air controller fins and Core Pipes heat pipes in addition to the large cooling fins. The package also includes a graphics card backplate engraved with the MSI dragon logo, RGB-lit, of course. The video card also has an RGB-lit LED light strip that follows the shapes of the cooler shell and the Suprim logo.

Two models of each RTX 30 graphics card will be released for the Suprim series, the base model with more moderate but still higher than the previous top model with factory overclockings and the X model with even more advanced factory clocks. For example, for RTX 3090, the previous model Gaming X Trion Boost clock frequency was 1785 MHz when Suprimin is 1800 and Suprim X 1860 MHz. Boost clock speed is the same in both Gaming and Silent BIOS, but even higher 15 clock speeds can be captured via Dragon Center.

As expected, MSI has selected one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a ports for its graphics cards. Additional power is supplied for the RTX 3070 model with two and for the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 models with three 8-pin With PCI Express power connector

We will also get to know the Suprim series in practice in io-Tech’s test laboratory.
