If you can afford a $2000 RTX 5090 graphics card — and you can find one — you can probably afford an even more expensive one. So why not go all out, with a liquid-cooled, AIO-sporting upgrade? Say hello to my not-so-little friend the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Suprim Liquid.

MSI’s RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID is a luxury GPU that delivers cooler temps, quieter operation, and unmatched performance, but its $2,500 price ensures it’s only for the most hardcore users.

It's the second public announcement from MSI regarding a shortage of GeForce RTX 50 series stock, the previous one coming from MSI China. It also follows a heads-up direct from NVIDIA.

MSI stores will be able to deliver limited stock of the new graphic cards, and it will be delayed to February 6, 2025.

With an early MSI Suprim Liquid RTX 5090 graphics card in hand, we ran some early benchmark tests and overclocked the most extreme version of the Nvidia flagship.
