MSI has announced a brand-new lineup of beautiful GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards dubbed “SUPRIM” (SUperior, PRofound, IMpossible), which, according to the company, was 20 years in the making.

The first SUPRIM cards are the GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM X 24G, GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM X 10G, and GeForce RTX 3070 SUPRIM X 8G. These GPUs are encased in a sexy chrome shroud that’s been “chiseled to perfection” and feature the company’s TRI FROZR 2S thermal technology for cooling.

Original Press Release

MSI proudly introduces SUPRIM, a new graphics card series and design built upon decades of circuit engineering and cooling development. A prestigious concept turns into reality with high quality materials and meticulous engineering that can be seen, felt, and experienced. A focus on the user experience is reflected in the details, with examples such as a dedicated heatsink for the memory modules and dual BIOS being set to Silent Mode out of the box.

At its foundation, the circuit board continues MSI’s legacy of high-performance design with hardened circuits, premium components, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics processor that powers immersive gaming adventures and demanding content creation. The TRI FROZR 2S cooling system keeps temperatures in check to allow the graphics card to sustain tremendous performance. An extensive assembly of TORX FAN 4.0, Airflow Control fins, Core Pipes, and a base plate efficiently absorb and dissipate heat from critical components. The combination of TRI FROZR 2S’s high thermal transfer efficiency and silent optimizations in the fans and heatsink fins allow SUPRIM to be very quiet, if not silent, during operation.

Looking to the exterior, SUPRIM is clad in a modern aesthetic that reflects a high-performance lifestyle. Polished aluminum on the cooler enclosure and backplate impart a rigid menacing look and feel. Flowing RGB lighting can be customized with Dragon Center and Mystic Light to erupt in millions of colors and several dynamic effects.

Get more than just a graphics card with a bundled mousepad and support stand for additional reinforcement. Take the experience further with the Dragon Center software suite, with utilities such as Frozr AI Cooling that unifies system fans connected to a compatible MSI motherboard to react to changes in GPU thermal output. Take full control with Afterburner, the most recognized graphics card overclocking software utility in the world. SUPRIM changes the game as it arrives to retailers all around the world beginning November 20th.
