MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM FUZION Graphics Card Pictured

Here's the first picture of the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM FUZION graphics card. The company revealed this card as it bagged a Computex Best Choice Award. If the name FUZION doesn't ring a bell, it's a call back to MSI's Big Bang FUZION brand which it used for motherboards about 12 years ago. Back then, FUZION denoted the LucidLogix Hydra chip that allowed explicit multi-GPU configurations across GPU brands and types. In 2024, however, MSI is using FUZION to denote the use of an air+liquid hybrid cooling solution.

You'll notice in this pic that the RTX 4090 SUPRIM FUZION has one fewer fan than the regular RTX 4090 SUPRIM X, while having one more fan than the RTX 4090 SUPRIM Liquid X. MSI describes this cooler as having a "short pipes waterway is specially designed to increase pressure for improved water circulation." It goes on to add "A low-profile pump allows more clearance within the cooler for airflow and the micro fin copper base effectively captures heat from the GPU. With three additional reservoirs, SUPRIM FUZION offers approximately 18% more coolant capacity compared to standard radiators, improving water circulation capability. The radiator is designed with denser" In comparison, the RTX 4090 SUPRIM Liquid X features an AIO GPU cooler, with the single fan ventilating some auxiliary heatsinks for the memory/VRM. We'll be sure to go hands on with this card at Computex.

Did they mangle the name so it would fit on a shorter cover?

Lightning edition is the best don’t know msi get rid of it

I had 2080ti lightning Z, boy was that a mistake for someone trying to watercool it, they might be still ashamed of it

I mean, its cool but a little late to the party as I believe were getting the RTX 5080 or 5090 this year correct based on what I have read. Hard to spend that kind of money now on a card that will soon be eclipsed.

The whole point of AIO or custom water cooling is to get the radiator (and heat) away from the GPU. The water carries the heat away. Compared to metal, water is not a good conductor. So...if you're trying to cool it locally, you want a better heatsink and fans. This...is like the least efficient on-card-cooling you can try to do. Well, maybe not the least possible, but it's a bad idea. It's definitely one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" situations.

For real though, what is the point in releasing something like this so very late in the product lifecycle? Surely everyone who's going to has already bought a 4090?

This is likely a very limited release and maybe a test case for a next generation card. They might have been binning 4090s and holding them back till they had enough as well. I doubt they expect to sell a ton of these.

Also this was likely planned quite a while ago when 4090s were selling like hotcakes into China etc and they probably missed the boat.
