The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K @ 60 fps, 4K @ 120 fps, and even up to 10K. The RTX 4090 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU’s 16384 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.

For cooling, MSI implemented a closed-loop liquid cooling system. It features a Triple Torx 5.0 fan, which has blades linked by ring arcs and a fan cowl that work together to stabilize and maintain high-pressure airflow. A copper base with fine micro-fins immersed in the liquid stream effectively transfers heat away from the VRAM and GPU. A low-profile pump has been integrated into the cold plate for optimal flow. A 240mm black aluminum radiator helps dissipate heat. For two MSI MEG Silent Gale P12 radiator fans, the anti-vibration gaskets sitting on the four corners of the fans are used to reduce rattling caused by the vibration while the fan blades are also carefully crafted to maximize airflow performance, optimized at a 32-degree angle to retain 58% of the airflow. Braided PVC tubes resist permeation and remain elastic even under intense environmental conditions. The closed-loop cooling solution requires no additional maintenance or assembly.
