The Card

With the Suprim X, MSI has created a stylish elegant design that uses shiny metal surfaces of various textures, polish and color to create a unique product look. On the other side you'll find a high-quality metal backplate.


MSI has integrated three RGB illuminated elements in the front fans, one lighting element near the top, and one illuminated zone for the Suprim logo on the back.


Dimensions of the card are 34.0 x 14.0 cm, and it weighs 2030 g.


Installation requires four slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1a (same as Ampere).

NVIDIA introduces the concept of dual NVDEC and NVENC Codecs with the Ada architecture. This means there are now two independent sets of hardware-accelerators; so you can encode and decode two streams of video in parallel, or one stream at double the FPS rate. The new 8th Gen NVENC now accelerates AV1 encoding, besides HEVC. You also get an "optical flow accelerator" unit that is able to calculate intermediate frames for videos, to smooth playback. The same hardware unit is used for frame generation in DLSS 3.


The card uses the new 12+4 pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, which is rated for up to 600 W of power draw. An adapter cable from 2x PCIe 8-pin is included. Of course the 4x 8-pin to 16-pin adapter cables from RTX 4090 will also work with the RTX 4070 Ti.


This BIOS switch lets you toggle from the default quiet BIOS to the gaming BIOS, which runs a more aggressive fan curve.

Teardown

The main heatsink provides cooling for the GPU chip, memory chips and VRM circuitry. MSI has installed seven heatpipes.


Under the main cooling assembly, we find a secondary cooling plate that provides cooling for some more VRMs and improves the card's stiffness to protect against sagging.


The backplate is made from metal, it protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
