MSI RTX 5090 Suprim SOC review

MSI RTX 5090 Suprim SOC graphics card on a grey background with a gradient.

This thing is a monster. Obviously in the same way the RTX 5090 Founders Edition is a monster in terms of raw performance; we are still talking about the most powerful consumer GPU available to humankind after all. But more than that, the MSI RTX 5090 Suprim is probably the biggest graphics card I've ever had the misfortune to balance delicately on the ickle PCB we use to measure GPU power draw.

I am slightly afraid for the continued happiness of our test rig with this frankly enormous card placed delicately atop it. In fairness, the XFX RX 9070 XT Merc is almost the same size, so it's not like MSI or Nvidia are alone out there with hoofing great graphics cards.
