0

Small tour in China where the Chinese branch of MSI unveils an RTX 4090 Suprim Classic. In fact, it is simply an RTX 40 with a RTX 3090 Ti heatsink. So we find the design and the conception of the old models… If it allows to lower the entry ticket of such a card, why not.

RTX 4090 Suprim Classic: new with old!

MSI RTX 4090 Suprim ClassicThis new card is clearly a case of making new out of old. Indeed, the brand simply applies the RTX 3090 Ti Suprim heatsink on a 4090. So we find the old design, darker with black inserts. The same goes for the backplate which features the dragon, the old logo applied to this series.

Nevertheless, the heatsink is also based on the old design. Here, we will have to do without the steam chamber to end up with a large copper base and heat pipes. Then inevitably, it remains beneficial for the weight since this version weighs only 2,1 kg against 2,4 kg for the 4090 endowed with the new dissipator. Likewise, we gain a few millimeters in height and thickness, but nothing transcendent. Moreover, the same applies to the fans, which are Torx 4 instead of the current Torx 5.

Moreover, the use of an older heatsink does not mean a drop in performance. The Classic model also works at 2640 MHz in boost via the brand’s software.

It remains to be seen whether this version will also see the light of day in our countries or if it is a model reserved for the Asian market. As we said, if it allows you to lower the price of the card, while enjoying a custom model with a neat look, why not.
