MSI has listed the GeForce RTX 4060 8G GAMING DUKE 3X, a new custom graphics card that couples NVIDIA’s lower-ended Ada gaming GPU with a triple-fan cooler, something that would typically be reserved for higher-ended graphics cards. This model is reportedly exclusive to China and other select regions; MSI’s US site currently lists six GeForce RTX 4060 models, all of which only feature dual fans.
Features:
- Boost frequency / Memory frequency
- 2460 MHz / 17 Gbps
- 8GB GDDR6
- DisplayPort x 3 (v1.4a)
- HDMI x 1 (Supports 4K@120Hz HDR, 8K@60Hz HDR Variable Refresh Rate via HDMI 2.1a standard)
- Triple-Fan Thermal Design
- Ring-Shaped Fan: The tips of the blades are connected by special arcs to focus the air flow and direct it to the radiator under high pressure
- Zero Frozr: Zero Frozr technology means the fans stop completely when the GPU temperature is low, making the graphics card completely silent. When the temperature starts to rise, the fans will resume operation automatically.
- Metal Backplate
- A durable metal plate on the back of the video card serves as part of the cooling system. Thanks to thermal pads, it acts as a radiator, and the ventilation holes made in it allow hot air to escape.
- MSI Center
- The exclusive MSI Center application allows you to monitor and configure settings of MSI devices in real time.
- Afterburner utility
- MSI Afterburner is the most famous and widely used graphics card overclocking utility. It provides complete control over the device and allows you to monitor all key system parameters in real time.

MSI on its new card:
The GAMING DUKE graphics card is wrapped in a black casing with a carbon texture and reinforced with a metal backplate. Its gaming character is evidenced by colorful LED lighting. Three fans and a huge radiator keep things cool and quiet. The tips of the blades are connected by special arcs to focus the air flow and direct it to the radiator under high pressure.
