Specifications and PCB:
Technical specifications:
In terms of frequency, the base frequency is announced at 2310 MHz while the Boost is at 2745 MHz. The 12 GB of G-DDR6X memory run at 1313 MHz (504.2 GB/s) on a 192 bit bus. As a reminder, there are no reference cards on this model proposed by NVIDIA. We will only have the right to partner cards that will offer a factory overclocking more or less consistent depending on the model. Here, with this MSI model, you are entitled to a very good factory overclocking!
I went through GPU-Z to check that the information read is correct. The GPU frequency is 2310 MHz, and the Boost frequency is 2745 MHz. Don’t forget that the latter will be higher during benchmarks depending on the quality of your chip and determined by GPU Boost 4.0. The memory has a frequency of 1313 MHz.
Let’s unpack the PCB:
Let’s deal now with the VRM, Voltage Regulator Module. Here, it is a voltage controller UPI 9512R. We find a set of 10 + 2 phases. The number of phases is often determined by the current requirement of the graphics chip. The more current it needs, the more phases there are.
Then we find the mosfets which are the elements to keep cool and are often topped by a radiator. They are the ones that will convert the direct current since our GPU does not work in 12 or 5 volts, but on a lower voltage often located around 1 volt. Let’s also note to finish, the presence of voltage points integrated directly on the PCB.
Memory chips:
As for the memory, there are six of them. They are 2GB GDDR6X memory chips, D8BZC and manufactured by Micron. They should have a good potential in overclocking.
